I just finished four weeks at the Spanish Immersion School in Oaxaca.

It was nice not being in a classroom all day long. Some days we went to the market, a museum, or a coffee shop instead of staying at the school. The school arranged a home stay that was about a mile from school, but the easy walk to school every day meant I got to see a lot more of central Oaxaca, and got to meet the family I stayed with. I would, without hesitation, recommend the Spanish Immersion School to anyone that wants an individualized, flexible Spanish language program in a lovely, friendly, culturally exciting city.

I…read morecould not have been more pleased with the school director Lázaro Rojas, and my several instructors, Karen Hernandez, Leida Cruz and ​Samara Juárez. All of my instructors had one or more college degrees in teaching Spanish as a second language. I attended as a beginner but they accommodate any level. The instruction was one-on-one which is very beneficial. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

I came to Oaxaca for 2 weeks to study here. The campus is beautiful and Lucero was sweet during my…read moreorientation. She took time to show me places I was interested in on a map and made sure I knew how to get there. My instructor Miguel was also great. I was in a class with 2 other women. The classes are HARD so be prepared. One of the other students was a lawyer and I am a former college professor and we both struggled. Study a lot. Unfortunately, the school ended up being my least favorite part of the trip. My complaints are 1. The location is on an extremely busy intersection that had protests or parades often. Even without that, there are almost constant horns and megaphones blaring with ads coming from the street. Some days it was almost impossible to concentrate. There are big windows that cool down the rooms that are parallel to the street, closing them helps, but on warm days it gets too hot. I eventually asked if our class could move to a quieter room. They did move us and the new room that wasn't as noisy. It's unfortunate that the school is on that intersection. 2. The registration fee you pay online DOES NOT go toward your tuition which was sketchy as it is not specified on the website. You pay the tuition in full on the first day or during orientation. 3. I signed up for a tour. An employee at the school took my money and said to be there by 9:45am, no other instruction. Turned out I needed extra cash for 2 tariffs (entry fee's) and lunch. It would have been helpful to know how much extra I needed in advance. My other complaint with the school in regard to the tour is that they didn't mention that we get dropped off at the Zocolo, not back at the school, which meant 30 min walk back to my hotel. We also arrived back at 8:15pm but were told we would be back at 7pm. All this should have been mentioned when the school took my money. The tour itself is through an outside company, not sure the name, and it was lovely. The city of Oaxaca, the people and the food are incredible. If you come, research other schools or a private tutor (same price). They will teach you Spanish while visiting local spots to sit and learn outdoors or at cafes. I wish I would have gone that route. One last note- there are mosquitos everywhere at the school so if you're prone to bites, get repellent at a pharmacy. Being swarmed by them prior to getting repellent, while the horns/parades/protests were blaring and trying to focus on Spanish verb conjugations was pretty rough.

The school has a very community-oriented vibe about it and everyone we met--students and teachers alike--were very kind. The school's proprietor does a solid job of matching people, according to their skill level, with the right teacher. I attended classes for two hours each day for a week. If I wanted to progress faster, I would have needed to double or triple my time investment (but I was on vacation!). I enjoyed my class, fellow students, and our teacher Maestro Toledo. My six-year-old daughter was the only kid at the school during the week we attended. They paired her up with a terrific teacher who spoke exclusively in Spanish to her, assigned her homework, and over the course of the week helped her craft a pinata (taking care to make a timelapse video of the whole project). Overall, I think this school is good value, well-run, and a place I'd recommend to anyone coming to Oaxaca to learn or improve their Spanish.
