Common Ground International

Este programa es absolutamente único, muy bien organizado y supera con creces sus objetivos, que son principalmente la enseñanza del español y el voluntariado.

I absolutely loved my experience in the CGI immersion program in Ecuador! The CGI team is incredible, and you learn so much about the culture. The focus is language acquisition, and this is the place to practice what you've learned. There are so many places to visit, and Cuenca was such a beautiful city full of wonderful people. I think I will always hold a little piece of Cuenca in my heart. So, if you want an immersion of a lifetime, travel with CGI and let your ability to speak Spanish shine!

This trip exceeded all of my expectations! The 6-week combo with Common Ground not only boosted my confidence in Spanish but also helped me grow so much personally. The people I met during this trip became family. It was such a life-changing experience—I seriously can’t recommend it enough!

Common Ground international was an excellent program. It was exceptionally well ran and organized. My mother , 3 children (ages 19, 12 and 9) and I had an amazing time learning Spanish and immersing ourself in the Costa Rican "Pura Vida" way of life. My children are asking to participate in the program again despite taking 4 hours classes everyday. That is very impressive
