When you hear the word 'Mexico', what do you think of? Sombreros, sun and happiness? It's all there. Start with the sandy beaches and enjoy the turquoise waves of the Pacific. Then savor salmon enchiladas at a Mexico City fusion restaurant, and end your night dancing through the night in the hip night clubs. The most notable tourist draws are the popular beach resorts and the ancient Meso-American ruins. Mexico is a great place and well known for its art, movies, design, music and cuisine.

Q&A - Questions about Spanish courses and schools in Mexico
- Is it safe to drink tap water in Mexico?“Drink only bottled water. Never from the faucet.”Isabel, Admissions and Enrolments from IH Playa del Carmen - Aug 06, 2024I am looking for a Spanish programme for a student from Turkey who is an absolute beginner in Spanish. How many weeks are needed to achieve the B2 level?“By booking a Standard Programme with 20 lessons per week, a student who is an absolute beginner in Spanish will have to book a course for approximately 24 weeks in order to get to the B2 level.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 20, 2023My English is only at a basic level and I would like to make sure that I can attend the course. I am a beginner in Spanish.“The teachers speak English but all the lessons are in Spanish for a fully immersive experience. Teachers have plenty of experience in having students of many different native languages and adapting the content and rhythm of the class to them.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 14, 2022I have been a Spanish teacher for about 15 years. I still need practice, but perhaps not with beginners and intermediate people. Is that possible?“Either previously online or on your first day, you will do a short language test to identify your current level. This way, the school can place you in the right group. All the other students in your class will have a similar level to yours.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 25, 2022Do you know of programmes that allow for specialized lessons in either Business Spanish or Medical/Health Care Spanish?“Business Spanish and Medical Spanish are provided on a 1:1 basis. The lessons will be tailored to your needs, according to your level. Just let us know what your preferred dates and destination are and we will send you more information.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 25, 2022Do you offer semester-type Spanish immersion programs for about 12 weeks?“In Mexico, our partner schools offer short and long terms programs year-round, and for students with some Spanish knowledge, it's possible to start any Monday. There will be several groups of different levels running simultaneously.”Ana Carolina, LanguageCourse.net - Aug 22, 2022
FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Spanish courses in Mexico
- What is the warmest location in Mexico for Adult Spanish Immersion programmes that you offer?“We have partner schools in Playa del Carmen which is one of the warmest destinations in Mexico. The temperatures are always high and vary from 17 C to 36 C over the year.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 24, 2022Can you tell me which schools are on Mexico's Pacific coast?“Puerto Vallarta is located on the west coast, the Pacific Ocean side of Mexico. Our partner school is Spanish Experience Center.”Ana Carolina, Area Manager from LanguageCourse.net - Sep 02, 2022What type of Spanish is taught in class?“The Spanish taught in Mexico is the general one. It could be the most commonly used in Latin America. But the differences between the Spanish in Spain and in Latin America are very small. It is more a question of accent, prononciation and idioms.
