Spanish Language Immersion in the Anglican Diocese of Cuernavaca
August 2, 2025 - August 16, 2025
Learn Spanish in Cuernavaca: A Language Immersion Experience for All Levels
Have you ever wanted to learn Spanish but didn’t know where to begin? Is your previous knowledge of the language feeling a bit rusty? Are you a priest hoping to celebrate the Eucharist in Spanish or a deacon eager to proclaim the Gospel with greater confidence? If so, this is your opportunity!
Since 2015, the Anglican Diocese of Cuernavaca has offered a two-week Spanish language immersion program for Episcopal dioceses across the United States, including the Episcopal Church in Western Oregon. The 2025 session for our diocese will take place from August 2 to August 16 at the Anglican Center in Cuernavaca, Mexico. This program welcomes students at all skill levels—whether you’re brand new to Spanish or a more experienced speaker aiming to master the finer points of grammar, such as the subjunctive or reflexive verbs.
Up to 16 participants will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants will stay at the Anglican Center in Cuernavaca, described as a “modest and friendly place.” Language classes will run Monday through Friday, with excursions to cultural and religious sites around Cuernavaca during the week, and longer day trips to regional destinations on the weekends.
Each day will begin with Morning Prayer and end with Compline—both offered in Spanish and led by participants—giving you additional opportunities to practice reading, praying, and singing in Spanish. You’ll also have the chance to worship with local Anglican congregations, deepening both your language skills and spiritual connection to the global church.
The total cost of the program is $2,300 per person, which includes:
- Registration and tuition
- All language classes and immersion activities
- Ground transportation
- Shared lodging
- Most meals for the two weeks
What’s not included:
- Airfare to and from Mexico City
- Museum entrance fees
- Meals outside the Anglican Center
- Tips, travel or health insurance, and personal expenses
A deposit of $1,100 is required to secure your spot, with the remaining balance due by May 1, 2025.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to deepen your Spanish language skills while exploring the beauty and culture of Cuernavaca!
