My wife and I had an amazing experience with this school for 6 weeks in July and August 2020. During this pandemic, everything in Oaxaca was a bit different than normal. Even without many students, Ileana went out of her way to make sure that we could experience various excursions each week....barro negro pottery, Teotitlan weaving, an artisanal mezcal distillery, alebrijes artisans, papel picado, and several others. We worked with four wonderful teachers – Edgar, Karen, Juan Jose and Luis. Each teacher met us at our individual Spanish level. They were kind, patient, and encouraging. Under their instruction, our Spanish learning exceeded our expectations! We opted to stay with a host family, Patricia and Pedro. They were incredibly hospitable to us, and speaking with them gave us good Spanish practice outside of school hours. Patricia catered to our vegetarian food preferences....she is a great cook! Overall, I would highly recommend this school. We feel like we got an excellent experience and we hope to return soon.

Espanol Interactivo Language School

At Español Interactivo Language School, we focus on teaching you Spanish and developing your conversational skills. Unlike some other schools, we don't distract you with a lot of extra activities. In the classroom, exploring Oaxaca, or a combination of both. Our courses are as intensive and for as long as you need. We plan learning strategies with you and monitor your progress, with the goal of improving your oral expression.

Reviewed By PZ394

I spent three weeks at the school in October and November to improve my ability to speak in Spanish. The school focuses primarily on conversational methods rather than grammatical. As an intermediate student, I felt that the classes definitely helped me achieve a new level of ability. The classes were small, with 2 or 3 students in each class. The teachers are kind, patient and dedicated to helping each student get the most out of their experience. Several highlights included building an “ofrenda” in the school to celebrate Día de los Muertos and also celebrating a student’s birthday with a traditional piñata fiesta, also there were several field trips to local museums and an art gallery. I stayed with a local family, recommended by the school and enjoyed the friendship, good food and cultural experience the home stay adds.

Oaxaca Spanish Magic

Reviewed By dianemB8081NE

I attended Spanish Magic for 3 hours a day for 5 days as a beginning Spanish learner. The patio environment is lovely and the time flew by. My instructor, Karina, was consistently encouraging, kind, positive, flexible, and patiently responded to my (many) questions and interjections, writing on a whiteboard for added clarity. As a result, I never felt intimidated, or frustrated by the challenges of learning a new language, even though class was taught entirely in Spanish. I paid for a group class but was basically given private instruction, which was incredible (not to mention a great value)! My thanks to Flor and her team for enhancing my experience in Oaxaca. If you are looking for an exceptionally pleasant and personal approach to learning or improving your Spanish, I highly recommend Spanish Magic.

Spanish Immersion School

The Spanish Immersion School is committed to teaching you Spanish — and to sharing with you the wonderful diversity of Oaxaca. We do this by holding classes in important cultural settings around the city as well as in our beautiful space, and by hosting students on amazing excursions to points of interest all around the valley. There are a couple of important differences between Spanish Immersion School and most other language centers in Oaxaca. The first is the patience and energy of our experienced teachers. We believe that regardless of how great our curriculum is, without the best teachers, our program would not be as successful in encouraging confidence and proficiency in Spanish language learners. Second, the combination of this excellent instruction with the quality of our specialized curriculum creates a unique and superior program. With these two factors, our program gets students feeling comfortable speaking from the very first class.

Reviewed By jameswlew

In June 2019, I attended the school for a week with the homestay option. Short and sweet: Excellent teachers, excellent homestay host, excellent director, excellent location, excellent accomodations - basically the most ideal setting for learning the Spanish language. I did the 5 hour program, with 2 1/2 hours of lessons in the morning, 2 1/2 hours in the afternoon. They tailor the learning to your needs (in my case, healthcare for Spanish speaking patients). I admit, by the end of the day, my brain was fried and I know now it's probably best to say at least 3 weeks (vice 1 week, like I did), but it's still worth it. Give them a shot! You won't regret it.

Q.O. is the second school in Oaxaca I have spent more than 3 weeks with and I can’t say enough about their comprehensive, fun, personalized approach. I spent five weeks with one-on-one classes in Oaxaca and I now take Zoom lessons twice a week. I love the balance of conversation and grammar study and feel confident that Hugo and Magaly can guide me to the fluency I’m looking for. Prepare to laugh and learn!
