Volunteer vacation opportunity in Spain.

How does a 7-day stay in a picturesque village in the mountains of Spain sound? And how does it sound if you add in free room and board, and interesting company? These aren't trick questions – this is the deal offered by Vaughan Systems, a language school with offices in Madrid, Barcelona and Granada which specialises in helping professionals whose first language is Spanish to improve their conversational English by isolating them in said village for 7 days with a group of English speakers.The Spanish speakers pay, the English speakers stay free – they just have to live up to their name and speak English to the Spanish speakers, morning, noon, and night, through meals, excursions and dedicated “talking time”. That's the exchange – your holiday for your conversation. Everything except your transport to and from the Madrid pick-up point is paid for. If you are naturally outgoing and in need of something different ... put yourself in line for one of the upcoming sessions.
