Learn online!

It is after a long experience in the traditional teaching of the Spanish language that we have decided to broaden our offer with online classes.

For that, we have taken our time to think about what would be the most adapted tools to satisfy the multiple needs of the varied profiles of our public. Thus, we have decided to choose different platforms/tools, adapted to both adults and children, beginners and advanced.

In this way, we are following our philosophy of teaching live, taking advantage of the new options offered by current technologies.

Our teachers attend you between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m., Central American time (UTC -06:00).

Course Options

Immerse yourself in Spanish

Designed for those students who wish to focus solely on learning the Spanish language, this program includes morning one-to-one language instruction, five days per week, for five, seven or eight hours each day, with a qualified teacher. In the afternoon, students can participate in optional cultural, social and sight seeing activities.

In order for our students to put into practice what they have learned in their classes as well as to experience daily family life in Guatemala, we recommend that they live with one of our local home-stay families. Students receive three meals a day and are given a private room. However if students prefer, we can advise them on a range of alternatives all within walking distance of the school, including renting some fully furnished apartments or staying in hostels or hotels.

Course Options and Schedules

Learn Spanish Through Service

The Service Learning Program combines four or five hours of classroom instruction in the morning with three or four hours of hands-on field work as a volunteer in the afternoons in one of our social aid programs.

Working directly with communities increases the direct meaningful use of Spanish language and the classroom time allows participants to focus on the language they need to be effective in their social work.

Descriptions of the different volunteer positions are available on the Volunteer page.

The Two-Week Training Period

Before Service Learning students begin their voluntary work in the community, a two-week training period provides them with a thorough understanding of what they are expected to do. It also gives them an essential insight into the complex range of political, social and economic challenges that Guatemalan Mayan communities face.

The two-week training period includes…

• A presentation on the Social Aid Department of INEPAS.
• Visits to places of cultural interest in and around Quetzaltenango.
• Films or documentaries of political, socio-economic and cultural interest.
• Lectures and conferences on a variety of subjects, with the purpose of informing the student on the main issues of Guatemala.
• One-to-one talks on important customs and traditions in Mayan communities.
• Presentation of the student to the community.
• Sample schedule of a Service Learning student.
