AmeriSpan's staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated
experiences and knowledge related to these passions. We have traveled to more than 65 countries - every continent except
Antarctica - and speak 10 languages. We are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you.
Study Abroad Veterans
Every AmeriSpan staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We understand your questions and
concerns because we have personally dealt with the same issues. We have gone to great lengths to make it easier for you
than it was for us. After enrolling in a program, you will receive a copy of the "Need-To-Know" fact sheets on the
country or countriesthat you will be visiting. These fact sheets include information about entry requirements, climate,
health and many other "Need-To-Know" things. If you still have questions, we’ll be happy to answer them.
Unbiased Language Travel Specialists
We are neither a language school nor a travel agent – we’re a hybrid of the two, a language travel organization.
AmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of schools, host families and destinations to determine which programs to offer.
Our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of the programs. We do not just list what is included – rather,
we clearly state our opinions. Each program description contains a program review that describes “what we like” and
“what we don’t like” about the program.
No Hassles, No Headaches
Aside from assisting you with which program to choose, we work hard to make the whole process as simple as possible.
AmeriSpan pre-arranges your school, lodging, airport pick-up and other services. With AmeriSpan, you will not have to worry
about international wire transfers, international phone calls or dozens of other possible complications with arrangements
and money.
We accept personal checks, Visa, MasterCard and Discover. AmeriSpan accepts applications
by mail, by fax or online.
AmeriSpan's staff has visited hundreds of language schools throughout the world and we have hand-picked schools which we think
are the best available in each location. The programs AmeriSpan offers are the ones we would choose to attend ourselves. In some
locations we offer two classes of schools: 1st Choice and Budget-Friendly. When evaluating schools, these are the things we
are continuously reviewing:

Latin America & Spain Experts
Prior to 1999, AmeriSpan specialized in offering Spanish programs in Latin America and Spain. Our staff has
repeatedly traveled to every Spanish-speaking nation in the world (20 different countries) to personally evaluate
hundreds of language schools and host families. As a result of this emphasis, our staff has an enormous amount of
first-hand knowledge about the Spanish-speaking world.
