Step out of the classroom and into real-life experiences that will transform your Spanish learning journey. Our Authentic Activities are designed to immerse you in the rhythms, flavors, and artistry of everyday Guatemalan life — helping you practice the language in natural, engaging contexts.

Hands-On Cultural Experiences

Through carefully curated activities, you’ll connect with local people, customs, and traditions — while reinforcing your language skills in meaningful ways.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Traditional Cooking Classes: Learn how to prepare delicious Guatemalan dishes like tamales, or tostadas under the guidance of local cooks. Practice kitchen-related vocabulary while discovering culinary traditions passed down through generations.
  • Dance to Local Rhythms: Move to the beat of marimba or learn a few steps of salsa chapina. These fun, social sessions are a perfect way to learn vocabulary through music and movement.
  • Indigenous Arts & Crafts: Sit side-by-side with artisans and learn how to weave, paint, or make clay figures using ancestral techniques. Understand not just how things are made, but the cultural stories behind them.
