Studying at the Ixchel Spanish School will give you the results you you are looking for! Combined with our homestay program and extracurricular activities, you will not only learn to speak Spanish rapidly, but also experience first-hand the culture and customs of the Spanish-speaking world, which will give you a definitive advantage when traveling or doing business in Latin America or dealing with the Hispanic population in your home country.

Spanish immersion courses in Antigua Guatemala — or anywhere else in Latin America, for that matter — are all about having contact with the local population and practicing your Spanish with native speakers as much as possible.

Therefore we recommend that you participate in our homestay program and live with a local family while you study Spanish at the Ixchel Spanish School.

Advantages of a Family Homestay
A homestay with a local host family has several advantages over other accommodation options:
- you will have close contact with native Spanish speakers, what will give you plenty of opportunity to practice your Spanish in realistic everyday situations
- you will participate in your host family's daily life and gain valuable insights into the life and mentality of average Guatemalans
- you will learn about and experience the customs and culture of Latin America
- you will have your meals with the host family, what will save you the hassle and expense of eating in restaurants all the time

Guatemalans are famous for their hospitality and will make you feel welcome in their homes. They will be happy to help you to practice your Spanish, give you tips and advice to make your stay in Antigua even more memorable, and will do their best to provide you with a pleasant "home away from home."
