Advantages of choosing a language trip to Tenerife

Unlike big cities, a language trip to Tenerife offers a peaceful environment, ideal for concentrating on learning without giving up adventure and leisure. Here are some of the advantages of choosing a language trip to Tenerife:

• Clear and understandable language. Although the Canary Islands have their own accent, the Spanish spoken in Tenerife is considered very neutral and easy for students to understand. The intonation is soft, and people tend to speak slowly, which makes it easier to understand, especially if you are at an intermediate or beginner level.
• Classes by the sea. Imagine finishing your Spanish class and in less than 15 minutes you could be swimming in the Atlantic or walking along a volcanic trail. Our Spanish school in Tenerife is located near the coast, allowing you to be at the nearest beach in just 10 minutes.
• Outdoor activities all year round. The island's constant spring-like climate (with an average temperature of 72°F) allows you to surf, hike, dive, go on excursions, or simply enjoy a terrace any month of the year. All these experiences are also opportunities to practice the language with locals and other travelers.
• International and safe environment. Tenerife welcomes visitors from all over Europe but has managed to maintain its identity and local character. It is a hospitable, multicultural and safe island, where it is easy to integrate and feel welcome from day one.
• Learning beyond the classroom. You will learn the language not only in class, but also at the market, on a guagua (as the Canarians call the bus), chatting with fishermen in a port, or buying fruit at a local fair. Organic, real-life learning full of practical situations for you to practice your communication skills.

Festivals, traditions and places you must see

Tenerife is alive all year round. Its traditions, celebrations, and historical sites will connect you with a culture that is different from that of mainland Spain, but equally fascinating. Don't miss these events if your language trip to Tenerife coincides with them:

Carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Without a doubt, the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is one of the most important festivals on the island and one of the largest carnivals in the world. If your trip coincides with this time of year (February), get ready to see spectacular parades, colorful costumes, murga contests, and a festive atmosphere where you can speak and listen to Spanish.

La Orotava and La Laguna

Both cities, with colonial architecture and cobbled streets steeped in history, are perfect for strolling and learning about the history of the Canary Islands. San Cristóbal de La Laguna is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to universities, libraries, and cultural spaces that often organize workshops and meetings for students.

Mount Teide

You can't visit Tenerife without climbing Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. You can take a guided tour in Spanish, learn vocabulary related to geology and astronomy (there are scientific observatories), and enjoy one of the most impressive volcanic landscapes in Europe.

Traditional festivals in the villages

During your stay, you may come across a local festival: pilgrimages, processions, craft fairs, or gastronomic events. Participating in these celebrations is a natural and fun way to listen to and practice Spanish in informal contexts.

Gastronomy during your language trip to Tenerife

One of the greatest pleasures of a language trip to Tenerife is getting to know the local cuisine. On this island, eating is also learning, because the typical dishes are deeply linked to the local identity and popular language.

Papas arrugadas con mojo. The most emblematic dish of the islands. The potatoes are cooked with salt until the skin wrinkles and are served with red (spicy) or green (cilantro-based) mojo sauce.

Gofio, stews, and fresh fish. Gofio is a roasted cereal flour typical of the Canary Islands and is used in many recipes. Stews (thick soups) and local fish, such as cherne or vieja, are part of a simple but rich diet. Eating in guachinches (traditional taverns) is a great way to blend in and practice the language with the owners and other diners.

Sweets and tropical fruits. Palm honey, Canary Island bananas, quesadillas, and rosquetes are just a few examples of the sweet treats you can try while learning vocabulary related to desserts, eating habits, and popular expressions.

A transformative experience

A language trip to Tenerife is an ideal opportunity to improve your Spanish. But it's also a way to experience the language from the inside, with your feet in the sand, your backpack full of memories, and your mind open to new connections.

Whether you come alone or join a group, you'll discover that Tenerife isn't just an island, it's a place that invites you to participate, communicate, and enjoy every moment.
