Segovia
With over 330 million speakers worldwide, Spanish is the second most widely spoken language after Chinese. It is the most common first language in the Americas and is also extremely useful and popular as a second language.

Studying in the country where it is spoken is the best way to start learning or to supplement existing language skills. OISE courses take place in Segovia in the heart of Castille, an ideal location for Spanish study, renowned for the purity of its accent.

Segovia is a small, self-contained town 87km from Madrid which nestles between the dry Castillian Plain and the snowy peaks of the dramatic Guadarrama range. Set in splendid countryside, Segovia is a city of architectural beauty, warm honey-coloured stone buildings and fairy-tale medieval structures.

The school is located at the heart of the town 5 minutes walk from the historic Roman aqueduct which runs through the old town. It boasts excellent facilities and is just a short walk from all the attractions of the town.

A stay in Segovia offers students a unique opportunity to experience Spanish hospitality and customs within the relaxed atmosphere of a picturesque holiday town.
