Our goal is to help you communicate in Spanish. There are four areas of communication: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In our program we consider all four areas.
Our standard Spanish program has eight levels: Beginner, Beginner/Intermediate, Low Intermediate, Intermediate, High Intermediate, Advanced, Superior and Distinguished. Upon arrival you will be given a placement exam to ensure you and the other classmates are placed in the right level. You can always take our Sample Placement Exam (The result of this exam is approximate) to give you and idea which level you may be placed in.
3 weeks is the ideal time to complete one of our eight levels. Our courses are intensive 6-hours a day. Four of which are in a class and two are spent with a conversation tutor in real-life experiences.
Home Stay Accommodation:
Our home stay program is a very important part of your overall language experience. You will stay with a local Mexican host-family, unless you request differently in which case we will work with you to find adequate hotel accommodations.
Our selection process assures that all our students will have a comfortable and pleasant stay in Merida. Our host-families are carefully screened to have a very helpful attitude towards students. We have also selected homes that offer a level of comfort not too far from what you are used to finding in your home country.
In contrast with many other programs, we only place one student per host family, making sure that you will only speak Spanish. Also all our students get private room and private bathroom at no extra cost.
