“This was the best choice I could have made when looking into immersion programmes. The teachers are exceptional. They tailor lessons to the students individual needs while making learning fun and accessible. I’m shocked at how much I learned in 2 weeks. Definitely supplement with a few private lessons to get a deeper dive. Everyone on staff goes above and beyond and communication is clear and prompt. The food is vegetarian and a terrific way to nourish your brain after working hard! I cannot wait to return.”
Disliked
“It would be great if the rooms had AC. At 104 degrees it was hard to concentrate for long. ”
Insider tip: “Museum of gastronomy, fresh juice on break and the best chilaquiles at Chilakillas just around the block, La Peni installation 19:00-22:00 jueves (Thursday) a domingo (Sunday), yoga at Ikal yoga and cacao, local beer at Cuerno de Toro”

“In the summer, classes were small and we could talk a lot. The emphasis of the course was on communication and not grammar instruction. The teachers did not over correct everything you said. Erica, the chef makes delicious vegetarian meals.”

“Short-notice substitution of the teacher. The lessons could build on each other even better. And the individual weaknesses of the students in the course could be addressed more (e.g. through a discussion on the first day of class). ”

“I was only in class for one week. Communication regarding the host family was a bit last minute. And it was a shame that the cooking course in the courtyard was cancelled due to light rain a few hours beforehand. Otherwise I have nothing to criticise ”

After you've settled in, you can work together to schedule this hour based on what works best for both of you.

It's important to remember that your host has work obligations as well, so the schedule will need to be adjusted accordingly.”
    Agustin, Admissions Team from La Calle - Aug 26, 2023
