Living with a host family has two major benefits. First, it's the best way to get to know Spanish culture and see what daily life is like for a native Spaniard. Secondly, our host families will speak to you in Spanish 100% of the time, helping you practice the skills you're working on in Spanish classes in an authentic context.

Our host families vary from young families to one or two retired people, all Spanish speakers and are carefully selected to ensure that your stay be as pleasant as possible. We do our best to find home stays that will treat you as part of the family.

We will always try to accommodate you within 20-30 minutes - on foot or via public transportation - from the Enforex school, even in big cities like Madrid and Barcelona. You may choose between a single or double room as well as no meals, half board (breakfast & dinner) or full board (all meals).
