There is no better way to learn a language than to live it, eat it, breathe it and speak it in a Spanish-speaking community!!

The Spanish language has become one of the largest in the world and the best way to learn is in a Spanish speaking country, as you'll have the language all around you!

All levels of courses are available, from Beginner to Advanced - and you can even combine your language course with a volunteer project that runs along side the classes, or after you've completed the Spanish course!

Nowadays studying Spanish is both a trend and a necessity. More than 21 countries have it as their official language and it's the native language of over 370 million people! At the language school we work with, you'll really learn how to speak Spanish. We understand that students want to understand and make themselves understood in a cultural context - of course grammar is necessary for this, but you'll have fun while you learn!

All the teachers at the school have taught Spanish for 8 or more years and between them they have developed a great many resources to make the lessons lively and fun. The classes are highly focused on the development of communication skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing.) They've won several Quality certifications, for the high standards they have at the school.

The school also periodically organise interesting and enjoyable activities in order to introduce the Ecuadorian and Latin culture to their students - most recently they've been cooking Ecuadorian dishes in classes! It's a great, fun way to learn!

You'll have the choice between group lessons, or private lessons:

GROUP LESSONS:

You'll study for 20 hours a week, 4 hours a day

There will be a maximum of 6 students per group

PRIVATE LESSONS:

You can choose how many hours of lessons you'd like a week - from 2 to 40!

One-to-One tuition

LOCATION:
Quito is a wonderful city, with a population of 2.4 million inhabitants. It is full of exciting history to explore, which is easier to find than in most cities as the most important dates in Ecuadorian history are in the street names - you'll come across 10 de Agosto street, 12 de Octubre street and 6 de Diciembre street!! You then just have to find out what happened on those dates!

There is always something to do in Quito, whether you'd like to experience some culture or join in with the cosmopolitan, modern way of life, there is always something to do or somewhere to visit. Cultural highlights include the old town, the cable car and the equator, along with a multitude of museums and monuments. Modern highlights include a range of shopping malls, a zoo, an ice skating rink, and plenty of restaurants and bars serving wonderful cocktails and tasty food - you'll find anything from traditional Ecuadorian cuisine to Thai and Italian!

Quito is very easy to get around. You can either use the buses, trolley buses or taxis, which are all very cheap and easily accessible.
