School Testimonials"When I came to the school, I had already learned Spanish in school for several years but I still didn't feel confident about speaking. With the help of the excellent teachers at the school, I soon found myself able to read, write and speak Spanish better than I realized possible. The teachers are patient and supportive and the environment at the school is conducive to learning. I liked the school so much that after traveling around Mexico, I realized that I wanted to come back to the school to learn more." "I thought the school was very well run in a no-fuss way, and that any concerns or issues that we had were promptly dealt with. I liked the flexible & individual approach the school has to teaching, and thought that the standard of teaching was high." "One of my most enjoyable experiences while traveling in Mexico was my time at the Spanish school in San Cristobal. The teachers are wonderful and make learning there fun and easy. After studying there for 2 weeks, I felt much more confident about traveling Mexico and Cuba alone. I also made friendships with staff and other students from all over the world which I'm sure will be with me forever. And I loved San Cristobal so much that I returned and studied some more at the end of my travels!" San Cristobal Spanish Course Fees (US$)
