We know you'd love to head off to a foreign country for a Language Adventure and be able to bring the kids.

That's why Languages Abroad and Teenagers Abroad have teamed up to create a Family Studies Division. We have programs in a variety of countries, languages and structures. In some cases parents and kids can study together in the same class! In other cases we offer an adult program and a concurrent teen program.

For more information please see the 4 options opposite or give us a call!

"Just a short note to let you know that we just got Moriah back. She had a wonderful time. It was a great experience for her, meeting kids from all over the world and learning to live in a different culture. She is now improved at Spanish, but more importantly a citizen of the world.

It was also a great experience for us. As I think I mentioned to you, we actually combined this with a family vacation, which meant Moriah got a week in Barcelona on the front end, and we all got to visit with our friends just outside Tarragona.

Tarragona is one of the more beautiful and inviting cities I have ever visited, something of a much smaller version of Barcelona, with the same history, inviting feel, beautiful Mediterranean beaches, and great food. This is a city where dinner is more often enjoyed outside than inside, seldom begins before 10 pm or ends before midnight, and is always accompanied by bottle of wine that costs little more than water.

It also meant that we got to meet Moriah's roommate, with whom Moriah made very good friends, as well as Moriah's host family, a charming couple who live inside the walled part of Tarragona. Theirs is a neighborhood so rich with history that they were able to show us photos of the Roman hallways under their home that lead to the nearby, still standing circus, used by the Romans for chariot racing.

We also discovered that we had perhaps seen their daughter, a sailor in the Spanish navy (but, of course not realized it) when her sailing/teaching vessel docked in New Orleans last year. Several days later when we passed back through Tarragona on our way back to Barcelona, we ran into Josef Maria and Maria Dolores on the street in Tarragona and were ourselves embraced as family.

I could not recommend them more as a host family, and cannot imagine why someone would send their child to live in Spain and miss this experience.

Thanks again for your in setting this up.",
Martin (father of Moriah who studied in Tarragona, Spain)
