For 4 years, TOCA has operated a language learning and culturally immersive study abroad program in Seville, Spain for NYC-based high school students. In the program, students take daily Spanish lessons, live with a host family, and participate in enriching activities, including paella cooking classes, museum tours, flamenco dance workshops, and more. Check out this video to watch the program in action.
Now...it's the adults' turn!
Join TOCA and MundoLengua in the heart of Sevilla, Andalusia for an immersive Spanish language and cultural journey designed for adult lifelong learners of all levels. With over 20 years of experience guiding international students, MundoLengua offers the perfect balance of structured language instruction and authentic cultural exploration. This trip is ideal for beginner to intermediate Spanish speakers.
During this 10-day program, you will:
• Take 10 hours of Spanish language and culture classes with native instructors
• Visit iconic landmarks including the Cathedral of Seville and the Royal Alcázar
• Explore local traditions through flamenco workshops, cooking classes, and market visits
• Tour an olive oil mill and enjoy curated tastings of Andalusian specialties
• Experience a river cruise and farewell dinner along the Guadalquivir
• Support our TOCA high school study abroad program!
This small-group experience blends meaningful language practice with unforgettable cultural moments — from tapas evenings to golden sunsets over the river.
A portion of the trip fee goes toward expanding global opportunities for youth of color!
