Languages in Action - Spanish Courses in Bolivia
Languages
in Action is an international organization of
language schools providing opportunities to
learn a language of your choice, at language
schools around the world. Learn Spanish in
Bolivia with Languages in Action at our language
schools in Sucre and Cochabamba. A country of
relatively undiscovered, immense natural beauty
and culturally rich in traditions and values,
Bolivia lies at the heart of South America,
surrounded by Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile
and Peru. Encounter a culture evolved from the
time of the Inca kingdom. Bolivia's undeniable
appeal comes partly from the fact that the
Spanish influence is there, but this is no more
than a thin veneer overlying indigenous cultural
traditions that stretch back for centuries.

Sucre - The charming colonial city of
Sucre (population: 250,000) shares the country's
capital city status with La Paz which is the
legislative and administrative capital, while
Sucre is the country's constitutional Capital
and the home of the Supreme Court. The city is
considered by many to be the “Jewel of South
America”, with its relatively low altitude of
2750 meters giving it a warm and pleasant
climate year round.
Visitors to Sucre are generally greeted by the
city's almost permanently blue sky, which
provides a striking backdrop for the brilliant
white buildings that characterize the city
center. Sucre has a rich, varied history and a
wealth of historical architecture deserving of
its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Sucre is also a thriving university city, with
its San Francisco Xavier University, founded in
1625, one of the oldest university's in the
Americas.
The city also provides visitors with more than
enough attractions, such as museums, shops and
restaurants to keep even the most dedicated
sightseer, shopper or food lover entertained.
The city is home to a large indigenous
population who maintain their traditional
clothing and customs, while selling their crafts
and goods in the city's markets and fairs.
Our Spanish School in Sucre is located close to
Bolivar Park, just a few blocks away from the
city's main Plaza and Central Market. Our school
has several large classrooms with natural
lighting, all of which can accommodate either
individual or group study classes. The school
also has a large airy patio where we offer
regular extra activities such as, dance classes
and language meetings, while most Friday nights
we provide a barbecue with shared chuflays (a
spiritual Bolivian drink) and traditional pisco
sours. All our teachers are young, qualified
professionals, well experienced in teaching
Spanish courses in South America.
Cochabamba is located in central Bolivia
in an Andean valley 8430 feet above sea-level,
west of La Paz and north of Sucre. It allows
easy access to all regions of the country, from
the tropical lowlands to the arid high planes,
as well as La Paz, the world's highest capital
city. The city's most famous attraction is the
statue of the Cristo de la Concordia which is
perched atop the San Pedro hill. The statue is
109 ft tall (33m) making it the tallest of
its kind in the world. Visitors can climb inside
the statue for a unique view of Cochabamba, with
cable car rides available from the city to the
mountain top also providing a spectacular
panorama of the area.
The weather in the city is generally mild and
pleasant and is considered to be the best in the
whole country, with warm sunny days and cool
nights. The average temperature in winter is
around 17° C (61° Fahrenheit), while in the
summer the average temperature rises to around
26° C (78° Fahrenheit).
Our Spanish School is located in the Juan XXIII
neighborhood of Cochabamba, just ten to fifteen
minutes by bus from the center of the city. The
Spanish language school is a one story building
built around a small inner patio, with nine
classrooms which are used for groups of up to
three students or individual classes. Students
who would prefer to take their lessons outdoors
can either be accommodated under a parasol in
the grounds or on one of our patios. In
Cochabamba our students and teachers frequently
socialize outside of class in traditional and
cultural events, as well as excursions.
Our teachers are also happy join their students
for a night out at bars or clubs if the students
would like them to. As well as our Spanish
language programs, our school also operates a
program of optional excursions to areas
throughout Bolivia. These excursions provide a
wonderful opportunity for our students to learn
more about the culture and environment of the
country, as well as providing countless
opportunities for practicing the Spanish they
have learnt in the classroom.
