| These three months
in Peru promise to be an especially valuable experience
abroad. But what makes ACUPARI so special?
There is the language school, for one thing
...
At ACUPARI you don’t meet a large group of international
Spanish learners but instead many young Peruvians
who study German at our school, the majority of whom
works in tourism and is culturally very open-minded;
hence the tandem learning ...
It is obvious that for a tandem you need two. In the
context of learning a foreign language, in a tandem
two people with different native languages meet, thus
one of our Peruvian language students becomes your
tandem partner. However, this conversation training
is not a bilingual mix, the languages are practiced
separately. When you speak Spanish your Peruvian tandem
partner helps you, when you speak German you help
your tandem, not in a classroom but on-the-go in Cusco;
and, on the other hand, the surroundings
...
The person who feels at home can study more easily
... ACUPARI guarantees this with the colonial building
of our language school and the friendly, familiar
atmosphere. Our teachers attune themselves to each
individual student. While chatting on coffee break,
cooking Peruvian food every Friday, going on excursions
or dancing Salsa or during the seasonal events, you
never get bored, and you always have someone at your
side who gives you all the advice and practical support
you require.
the host families ...
In our Peruvian families you will soon feel at home.
Vegetarian or diabetic, young or a little older, in
South America for the first time or pretty widely
traveled ..., everybody will be welcomed and becomes
part of the family circle. Before your arrival we
send you a description of your host family, most rooms
have their private bathroom, you get a key, and for
your laundry there is a sufficient number of laundromats;
the internship ...
We have been working together with Peruvian institutions
for a long time. You decide which one suits you best
for your volunteer work. Already during your Spanish
classes you get to meet the institution, if you should
have second thoughts a change is still possible.
and last but not least
Part of our team is also the German Honorary Consul
in Cusco, Maria Jürgens de Hermoza. Thanks to
her longtime experience with consular issues, with
development assistance and with intercultural cooperation
you will always have a competent and reliable contact
person. |
