Getting ready for a Spanish immersion program is both exciting and a bit overwhelming. To help you make the most of your experience at Kaleido, here are some essential tips to prepare before arriving in Almería:

• Brush up on basics – Review greetings, verbs like ser and estar, and essential travel phrases.

• Pack smart – Bring lightweight clothes, a notebook, and a comfortable pair of walking shoes.

• Set realistic goals – Decide what you want: fluency, travel confidence, cultural understanding?

• Stay open-minded – Immersion means adapting to a new culture — embrace the challenge!

• Join pre-arrival calls – We’ll help you feel confident and ready before you even land.

The more prepared you are, the more you’ll be able to enjoy, connect, and grow — both linguistically and personally.
