Location: This partner school to Enforex is situated in an inspiring location, close to the fascinating old town of Cartagena, Colombia. The building is a colonial house with a Caribbean atmosphere and proves to be very popular with its location within walking distance of the beach and crystal waters of the Caribean Sea.

Course selection: The school offers courses in General Spanish as well as Professional courses (Medical or Business), along with a Volunteer Programme (General Spanish + Volunteer plan). All courses regularly come very-highly recommended and that is not to mention the reviews about the homestay accommodations, which consistently receive exceptional reports of hospitality and kindness.

Additional information: One thing that should be mentioned about Cartagena, along with the fact that it is bathed in history and tales of legendary battles and pirate adventures, is that its yearly temperatures range from 20º and 30º C (68º and 86º F) all year round!

If you are looking to take your course in Cartagena then go to the beach and spend little or no time doing anything else, you will have an excellent time. For those who would like something additional to their trip, Cartagena shall not disappoint either. As well as being one of the Caribbean's most important port cities, Cartagena offers art to its visitors in both galleries and on the street, along with many attributes such as its exceptional cuisine, history and culture. You will be sure to not want to leave.

School chain: Enforex is a leading Spanish Language Institute with many campuses throughout Spain and Latin America. Their teachers all work to the highest of standards, as can be seen by the accreditation of all of their schools by Instituto Cervantes. Founded on the belief of experiential learning and creating experiences that transform people, their classes are hands-on and interactive, offering students the well-rounded experience needed to immerse themselves in the culture surrounding their selected school.

The knowledge and implementations of teaching methods was very thoughtful. Clearly they take great pride in what they do, think carefully about who they are teaching and tailor the instruction to them. The conversation class was especially good. The teacher was excellent at choosing engaging topics and including everyone in the conversation. I have 32 years experience in teaching foreign languages and even I learned, in addition to improving my Spanish, some insight as to what I may implement into my own classes.
Insider tip: Don't be in a hurry to rush to the beach. There are so many things to see and do in the old town. The best part for me was living with a family and spending time with them. They truly value family and make sure you feel a part of theirs.

Since we were having private lessons, I think they should have spent more time up front with us asking what we wanted to achieve in the week and what areas of the Spanish we wanted to cover
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: As mentioned earlier, teacher should have asked us up front what areas of Spanish we wanted to cover rather than going through the sheets provided by school used for group lessons, since my son and I both had some Spanish knowledge. (School did do interview at the beginning that they do with all students). Our teachers was very professional and friendly and we made good progress. However our progress could have been more if her English was better so as to explain some language questions we had more e.g. when to use 'para' vs 'por'.

Other comments Not Enforex, but Neuva Lengua; very strong on verbs and verb structures; I found they were weak on vocabulary. Seemed to be an assumption that we all knew the vocab we would need, but that is not the case for many students
