About Anders Languages
Personalized Spanish-language and intercultural training since 1998.
WHO WE ARE
ANDERS LANGUAGES provides personalized Spanish-language and intercultural training for adults, professionals and business executives.
Since 1998, we have created private learning experiences for participants who expect academic quality, personal attention and a program designed around their individual objectives.
We offer residential Spanish immersion programs in Mexico and Spain, selected-date Luxury Specials in Spain and Latin America, and private online Spanish classes worldwide.
Our onsite programs currently operate in Mexico, Spain, Peru, Colombia, Argentina and Costa Rica.
OUR FOUNDING STORY
ANDERS LANGUAGES was founded by Pedro and Gina in 1998.
Gina brought her experience as a Spanish teacher, while Pedro brought a background in business development and a desire to create a different kind of language-learning company.
They recognized that adults, professionals and organizations needed more than conventional group courses. They needed focused instruction, relevant academic content, personal support and opportunities to use Spanish in meaningful situations.
In 1998, ANDERS LANGUAGES welcomed its first participant, Steven, who was working for the World Bank in Mexico. That first program established an approach that continues today: private instruction combined with language immersion, cultural understanding and personal hospitality.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to help adults, professionals and business executives communicate confidently and effectively in Spanish through highly personalized language and intercultural immersion experiences.
We bring together private instruction, real-life communication, cultural understanding and personal support so that every participant can apply what they learn during travel, in their professional responsibilities and in their relationships with Spanish-speaking communities.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe that effective language learning should be personal.
Every participant has a different level, background, learning style and reason for studying Spanish. The learning experience should therefore be designed around the individual rather than requiring the individual to adapt to a standardized course.
At ANDERS LANGUAGES, personalization begins with the first inquiry. We take the time to understand each participant’s objectives and continue providing personal support throughout the program—from the initial proposal and academic planning to the practical application of what has been learned.
Private instruction allows the teacher to concentrate on one participant’s abilities, difficulties, interests and progress. It also enables participants to focus on the vocabulary and communication situations that matter most to them.
We combine language instruction with culture, accommodation, meals, activities and hospitality to create a complete immersion environment. Participants can concentrate on learning and experiencing the destination while our team takes care of the academic and practical arrangements.
OUR SERVICES
Residential Spanish immersions
Our residential programs combine private instruction, accommodation, meals, conversation and cultural activities. Programs in Mexico and Spain can begin throughout the year and are personalized according to each participant’s level, objectives and preferred duration.
Luxury Specials
Our Luxury Specials are carefully designed, selected-date Spanish-learning experiences in distinctive destinations. Private classes are combined with premium accommodation, gastronomy, cultural activities and excursions.
Private online Spanish classes
Our live online classes provide personalized, face-to-face instruction through Zoom. Participants work privately with an instructor on a curriculum adapted to their level, schedule and objectives.
Programs for lifelong learners
These programs are designed for adults who learn Spanish for personal enrichment, travel, cultural discovery and the enjoyment of continued learning.
Programs for professionals
Professional programs focus on the language used in a participant’s work. Curricula can be developed for healthcare professionals, lawyers, educators, researchers, public-sector employees and people working with Spanish-speaking clients, colleagues or communities.
Programs for business executives
Executive programs are designed for corporate leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, government officials, diplomats and embassy personnel who work with Spanish-speaking markets or are preparing for an assignment in Spain or Latin America.

Some have formal training in education, language teaching or linguistics. Others contribute professional experience in business, culture or specialized fields that can be especially valuable to professional and executive participants.
Instructors are selected through a careful recruitment and evaluation process. We consider their academic and professional experience, teaching ability, communication skills, adaptability and capacity to provide attentive private instruction.
Our team combines senior instructors with extensive experience at ANDERS LANGUAGES and a new generation of qualified instructors who bring contemporary professional, cultural and technological perspectives.
