An intensive 10 day Spanish course exclusive to Oyster will introduce you to every aspect of Chilean life – from the cuisine, to the language to salsa dancing.
Reap the rewards of teaching, bringing smiles to a whole classroom of kids while gaining fantastic skills of your own.
Become a local in a friendly and charming community as a member of a traditional Chilean family.
Make the most of your magnificent surroundings – opportunities to trek, raft, ski and more!

Chile is simply perfect for a worthwhile and constructive year out – giving more than just a taste for travel, but a new language, great work experience and the love and knowledge of a country you will be calling home!
