2 Learn Spanish & Dancing in Playa del Carmen

Excellent setting and potentially great school. The social activities were excellent.
The school has serious, but correctable problems. I came to improve my speaking, but did not receive a sufficient chance to do so, because of 7 students in my class. 7 is too many. Most of the 7 students spoke better than me. As a result, they dominated the discussions. Also, when my ability was initially evaluated, they determined my speaking ability was only intermediate level one, but they made no effort to determine my grammar level. As a result, I did not learn anything new in grammar. And sadly, I did not get enough chance to improve my speaking. The student residence is excellent, but the food needs improvement. It would not take much effort. Also, at the residence, students should be encouraged to speak only Spanish. Again, this would not take much effort. Because I did not learn much Spanish and because I spent money on transport, scuba diving and salsa which was not well organized, I have given the school a low rating. The problems can be corrected.

Nice atmosphere. Really small group (3 people in my class).
There are some really lovely people working in the school and in the residence. Big hugs especially to Linda. Also the teachers were very nice. The school is near the beach and it offers lunch.
