“Cartagena was very safe and a great tourist destination. … There is something about being in a real city that challenges you to become fluent, but at the same time there is a safety net of tourism and the school to give you confidence and support.”

“I learned a lot about the culture on the Colombian coast, Spanish and of course salsa ... I’ve got some good moves to practice when I go back to New York. The people in Cartagena are pretty friendly; for example, when you seem really lost in the streets, most will walk you to your destination. It’s a time I will remember. And I am already talking about returning to Cartagena.”

“This was my first immersion experience with a Spanish school in Latin America and felt that (the school) and teachers were first-class and went the extra mile to make myself and the other students feel welcomed, accommodated and receive the best Spanish instruction according to each student’s level of Spanish.

“I would highly recommend (this school) to anyone in the world for an excellent opportunity to receive the finest Spanish instruction and to experience Colombia. It is my desire to return to Colombia in the near future to continue to improve my Spanish with (this school).”
