Written by Natlingo | Apr 16, 2025 4:24:27 PM

At Natlingo, we believe summer should be an adventure—not a language setback. That’s why we created the Latin America Adventure, our most exciting and culturally rich Spanish immersion experience yet! Whether your pequeño or pequeña is just beginning their language journey or already says "¡hola!" with confidence, this program is designed to help kids retain, revive, and refuel their Spanish skills over the summer. Ready for all the juicy details? ¡Vamos!

✨What Is the Latin America Adventure?✨

The Latin America Adventure is a unique summer subscription program where your child will take a virtual trip through six amazing countries: Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Ecuador and Bolivia. Each week, kids explore a new destination through:

  • Live 25 min. single sessions or 50 min. double sessions, with native Spanish-speaking tutors from Latin America.
  • A total of 18 fun-packed sessions that focus on food, dance, music, and natural wonders of each country.
  • Interactive challenges to reinforce vocabulary and real-world language use.
  • One Live Event: Llamas in Cuzco! 45 min. Live from the Peruvian Andes with our guide Miguel and a group of adorable llamas.
  • An incredible digital scrapbook of each destination that includes quotes from your child and a voice recording of them speaking in Spanish!

All of this, carefully designed to be both fun and educational, helping niños stay connected to Spanish when school takes a break.

🌍 Why It Works (a.k.a. Why Your Kid Won’t Forget All Their Spanish by August)🌍

Here’s the deal: over summer, most kids experience language learning loss, especially when they don’t use the language in real-world contexts. With heritage speakers, this can mean a serious disconnect from family communication. And for homeschooling families, summer can feel like you’re losing traction on everything you’ve worked so hard to build.

That’s why the Latin America Adventure is:

  • Live & immersive: Language learning sticks when it’s social! Our weekly Zoom sessions (just 25 minutes each session) create a pressure-free space to hear, speak, and laugh in Spanish.
  • Story-based: Every week has a fun theme and storyline—from alpacas in Peru to street food in Mexico—keeping kids engaged while sneakily strengthening vocabulary and comprehension.
  • Self-paced: Replays, printables, and videos let your child revisit and repeat at their own ritmo.

Did you know? According to research, kids can lose up to 30% of their school-year language skills over the summer break. Yikes. That’s why a consistent and joyful exposure like this can make a world of difference.

Perfect for Heritage Families

Many bilingual and bicultural families tell us they feel heartbroken when their children struggle to respond in Spanish to abuelita or primos. Even when kids understand Spanish, they often don’t speak it back. Sound familiar?

Our tutors are trained to support heritage speakers by:

  • Encouraging confidence in speaking without correction overload.
  • Making connections between language and culture (like how tamales and tías go hand in hand!).
  • Using real stories from Latin America to help kids feel pride in their roots.

A Dream for Homeschooling Families

Natlingo was born to support parents who want language education with meaning and joy. For homeschoolers, the Latin America Adventure can be your full summer Spanish curriculum:

  • Structured weekly sessions (with new vocabulary and conversation themes).
  • Language games on the platform to extend learning after sessions.
  • Cultural immersion that connects with language, geography, history, and arts.

Plus, it gives you 25 minutes every session, to sip cafecito while someone else leads Spanish for a bit. You deserve that!

✈️ Where We’ll Travel (Virtually, Of Course!)✈️

Each country is a new stop on the map, with themed weeks like:

  • Peru: Llamas, Machu Picchu, and quechua-inspired crafts
  • Mexico: Alebrijes, street food, and mariachi moves
  • Colombia: Arepas, magical realism, and cafetal tours
  • Argentina: Tango, glaciers, and dulce de leche magic
  • Bolivia: Cholitas, salt flats, and high-altitude fun
  • Ecuador: Volcanoes, chocolate tours, and hopping across the equator!

Every stop includes videos, songs, and topics for conversation, and so much more!

  • Real human connection
