Language and Culture Lovers

Who We Are

Language Link was founded in 1979 by Kay Godfrey, with a wide background in Spanish and cross cultural education.

The original mission had the conviction that a total immersion Spanish language program in a country where Spanish is spoken was the very best way to learn, and it was important to keep the experience economical and personalized. Oh, was Language Link picky! Only Spanish language schools with the highest standards and sincere concern for each student’s welfare were accepted. We knew we had succeeded when thousands of students returned not only with great Spanish skills, but with an awakened cultural awareness. It was truly life changing.

With little paid publicity, we have been mentioned or featured in articles in major travel magazines and newspapers, nationally and internationally. Just to name a few – Der Spiegel, Miami Herald, Chicago Tribune, and American Way inflight magazine.

Our clients? They come from all over the world, are at all levels of Spanish, and of all ages from (3 to 89, really!). It’s impossible to pigeonhole a typical participant, as the variety is so great. Individuals, organized groups, business executives, medical personnel, teachers, volunteers, social workers, missionaries, retirees, college students wanting credit, teens, interns, entire families – we have them all and more, including artists, actors and an archbishop. Among our clientele are many colleges and universities, international corporations such as Caterpillar and Citibank, as well as many others such as the World Wildlife Fund, Interamerican Development Bank, and the American Council of International Studies. Several times Language Link has been the guest of the government of Spain to promote language schools.

Through the years we have developed even more ways of learning Spanish. Our Spanish On The Road short term touring trips are ideal for people who want to polish their Spanish while traveling through the countries which Language Link knows well. You travel to amazing destinations, all enhanced with language learning.

We now offer virtual learning with online private classes of the highest quality, taught through platforms such as Skype. These are ideal if you want to continue your total immersion experience but who can’t travel just now.

We feel very privileged to do this work.  It’s quite gratifying to know that Language Link not only has an impeccable reputation within the world of Spanish education, but also to know that we significantly contribute to people’s lives. We invite you to learn the language, live the culture!
