Interactive & Cultural Spanish Program

I booked a Group course but received one-on-one lessons only, because I was the only student during the three weeks. My teacher was highly qualified, professional, and personal at the same time. I enjoyed the lessons very much and learned what was possible within the time given. I liked her teaching methods which consisted of 50% conversation and 50% focus on language and grammar.

The school was situated 2 kms from my homestay - a perfect distance for a walk - and in the center of Quito, which was nice.

The interior of the school was warm and welcoming - of course it was a little strange to be the only student - but I had a good and pleasant time with my teacher.

The 3 cultural activities were fine, and for me they were sufficient because I also like doing things on my own; it is exhausting to be in a one-on-one learner situation for 8-10 hours!

My homestay was okay. I didn't need or want to eat 3 meals a day - I preferred the independence - but the family was friendly and we also did some things together. My room was big with a private bath, which I liked.

It was difficult to practice my Spanish with my family because I was too tired after lessons and their Spanish of course was harder to understand than the teacher's!

I now know that next time I book a Spanish course I will prefer one-on-one lessons, and I will book an Airbnb instead of a homestay - the latter is better value for money - and you can get the personal contact and practice your Spanish anyway!
