Language in the Wild Immersive Language Learning Adventures!
You know, maybe the best method for learning a new language is actually the oldest and most natural one. It might not be an AI super app, or a classroom flush with iPads, or even an elaborate flashcard system gamified to keep your attention. Maybe we could just go back to the roots of why we use language in the first place: things like communicating our basic human needs, developing meaningful relationships with people, working together to solve real challenges as a group, and learning new life skills.
Our brains are intrinsically made and motivated to learn languages for these exact reasons. But, as you know, it's really hard to find or create this kind of ideal and natural language learning environment.
And that’s exactly why we developed Language in the Wild!
Language in the Wild programs are set in natural, and authentic environments, with the goal of staying 100% in the target language. Removed from our devices and distractions, communication naturally begins to flow and deep relationships grow with the people around you. With experienced language teachers as your guides, your language skills will develop and expand at a remarkable rate through the constant rotation of skill building activities, thrilling team challenges, and project-based learning in an immersion environment filled with excursions and adventures. Science, language arts, and math are integrated as practical tools and language topics in our outdoor endeavors. You will fall asleep each night with your muscles and mind stretched and with your brain challenged with new language, skills, and experiences.
