"I truly enjoyed my studies at the school this summer. I only stayed for two weeks but wanted to stay longer. We are very sad that we have to go so soon. The teachers are friendly and great. They make learning Spanish fun and interesting. I have made some good friends and look forward to returning next year. Keep up the good work."
Colette Cupid, USA Malaga
"So far, I have booked a Spanish course in Malaga twice and I am already looking forward to my next stay here. What I especially like about the school in Malaga is the ideal combination of studying and vacation. After class and little homework, you still have time to enjoy the beach, the area or take part at the school activities."
Tina Siegismund (24), Germany Valencia
"Thanks for all Adela, Maria, French Carolina, Carlos, Chef Nando, Maxi... Merry Christmas! So long, many kisses."Manon (France) Bariloche
“My 2 week Spanish course at the school was fantastic - in fact, the best 2 weeks of my 3 month trip in South America ... met loads of great people, enjoyed some stunning scenery and of course polished up my Spanish. I would highly recommend this school to anyone wishing to learn Spanish and have fun at the same time."
Joy, London, England Buenos Aires
“School staff is knowledgeable and very funny people! The staff and teachers are the best part of the school! I had a lot of fun... The activities of the school are great for getting to know the other students in a different environment. I would recommend the school because of the quality of the instructors. Also, I was glad that you had the flexibility to place me in a course mid-week, the day after arriving.”
Rad Anzulovic – USA Cochabamba
"I am writing in order to recommend the language school in Cochabamba, Bolivia, as an outstanding choice for learning Spanish, Quechua or Aymara. The school offers full-Spanish immersion programs with individual instruction on all ability levels and home stays with local families."
Britta Hoffmann, MSc. USA Santiago
“The value of the school in Santiago far exceeded my expectations. I could not be happier with the quality of instruction, professionalism, and assistance that the school provided. I highly recommend it, and I would return in a second when I have a chance. Highly personalized, intimate environment. The afternoon excursions were amazing. I truly got to experience the culture, history and environment of Santiago. Muchisimas Gracias! I love the CD at the end of class with all the pictures you took, Juan. Thank you!”
Brian Lowe, US Vina del Mar
"Marcelo, Olivia and Juan will go out of their way to make your visit pleasant. They are really good people, and you can trust them. I arrived with no Spanish and can now understand and speak Spanish at a slow pace. Susana is a great teacher and will answer all of your questions and tailor your studies to suit you. The school is not in it for the money – they really want you to learn."
Todd Gibson, US Bogota
"I am very happy to write about my experience at your Spanish school in Bogota. The program you have developed served me wonderfully, and I expect I will return. Two things made the program work especially well for me. The fact that you and the teachers were clearly interested in listening to what I wanted to say pushed me to speak much more than I would have in a less personal program."
Steven Werlin, USA Cartagena
"I really enjoyed my time at the Spanish school in Cartagena. The teachers were quite good and made an effort to teach about the culture of Cartagena as well as the language. They were all wonderful, fun individuals, and the administration was also essential in guiding the students as we settled into the city. On our cultural excursions, the teachers were knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Cartagena and made excellent instructors. It was a great experience."
Tara Ahmed, US Manuel Antonio
“We are very glad that we chose the school. The entire staff is professional and organized. Our teachers here were excellent! The school in Manuel Antonio is a facility with an amazing view of the Pacific, and the fresh fruits and coffee at break times are always delicious. Our 4 weeks there was a most worthwhile vacation. ¡Perfecto!”
Shockey Family, USA San Jose
"What I like about this school is the attention that the entire staff demonstrates with regard to all aspects of the study abroad experience. The classes, housing and tour arrangements could not be any better. Since I take students from the United States to Costa Rica every year, I had to find a well established institute with reliable personnel. After interviewing directors from various schools as well as visiting their premises, I had no difficulty choosing this one. Their staff will do everything possible to help the student master the Spanish language in a very friendly environment. They are also there to help in any situation that may arise. My students and I are thoroughly satisfied."
Robert Kahn, PhD Barva
“The informal and friendly atmosphere allows for an ideal learning environment and an inspiring support system for meaningful volunteer work. I have had a fantastic experience here. I have loved just sitting around and ‘fixing the world’ with you, and I hope to be back soon to continue!”
VictoriaYoung, US Punta Morales
“We came again, and we are planning to come soon. This country and its people made us feel in love!”
Paul & Kate Link, US Quito
"To understand people, one must live with them and participate in the culture. After learning Spanish here, I better understand and connect with all people from Latin America."
J. P. Miller, Canada Panajachel
“I found that the school in Panajachel was a very well organized school. The combination of one on one classes, the opportunity for group trips, the use of the books and videos and the family stay, a long with non stop coffee made this a very enjoyable week where I learned a lot. During this week. I felt that the school was my home and I was welcome and comfortable there in and out of class time.”
James Mac Iver from Canada Cancun
"I have learned so much here. This has been one of the best experiences of my life."
H.D. Jones, USA Cuernavaca
"Since I have been back in Wisconsin, I've been searching for a word that means homesick for a place that is not your home. Before leaving for Mexico, I was nervous about being in a foreign country for three weeks. As the final week came to a close, I couldn't imagine boarding an airplane and flying back 'home.' After three short weeks at your school, I came to adore the city, culture, and people of Cuernavaca. "
Steven Kimball, Assistant Professor - Education, University of Wisconsin - Green Bay Merida
"I have taken students from my Spanish classes to different Hispanic countries, including Costa Rica, Spain, Guatemala and Mexico. I find this Spanish school to be one of the best Spanish schools I ever worked with. The teachers, the families and the Ceron Family were wonderful with us. I highly recommend this Spanish language school to anybody who wants to learn Spanish and the culture of Yucatan, Mexico".
Roberto Mazariegos Spanish professor College of the Siskiyous Weed, California 96094 Oaxaca
"I have attended four Spanish language schools in my life and this was the best. The books are excellent. I liked the exercises and lectures about Oaxaca. The school is very professionally organized. The teachers have patience and a wealth of knowledge. I would like to return."
Madeline Taylor, New York, USA Puebla
I cannot imagine a better time. My home stay was excellent; with a good sense of humor and a good cook. My teacher is the best teacher I have ever known. It was a perfect place to study and learn.”
Jane de Jarnette, California, USA San Cristobal
"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!"
Liz Hardwick-Smith, New Zealand San Miguel de Allende
"I loved my teacher’s teaching style. She did not make anyone in the lessons feel stupid and explained materials in a way that is easy to understand. I think the school does a great job at placing the student in the correct level. I like the use of music and telenovelas as well as the reading and writing."
Jessalyn Lively, USA Panama City
“Thanks so much! If I am going to return to Panama, I am going to continue studying here.”
Karen Pootit, Canada Boquete
"I studied at the school for a period of 3 months. When I came here I spoke very little Spanish, but now I speak a lot. After these months I can talk with people here in Boquete. The people at the school here are very nice and the professors teach very well. See you soon!"
Paul Van den Bosch, Netherlands, 32 Cusco
The school in Cusco was a good starting point for a four week trip through Peru . In one week I refreshed and improved my Spanish in small classes with good teachers. I also learned a lot about the country. Now I am looking forward for the rest of my holidays in Peru ."
Hartmut Obloch, Germany Rome
What makes this school pleasant is the teachers' enthusiastic approach and dedication; they are nice and excellent tutors". "The team welcoming is warm and friendly".
Marina- Great Britain Florence
“The school is simply wonderful. The teachers were marvelous. The school building was clean and organized, and the location fantastic. I had a wonderful month learning Italian in Florence. Thank you! My accomodation was great! Rossella, the owner of the apartment where I was staying, was very nice. I had a large, clear, sunny room, in an apartment just two blocks from the Duomo and three blocks from school. It was wonderful!”
Daniel Haas, US Taormina
“The time we spent learning Italian in Taormina was the perfect balance between holiday and study. Our teachers were serious about their teaching yet had a good sense of humor. Most evenings at 5.00 o'clock we had an interesting lecture on some form of Italian Culture, whether it was Films of the 50's, a famous Italian playwright like Pirandello, a quiz or an evening out for pizza. To study Italian in the beautiful and historical town of Taormina is something I look forward to repeating in the near future.”
