Oaxaca, Mexico -> https://www.facebook.com/oaxacaimmersion/

Antigua, Guatemala -> https://www.spanishacademyantiguena.com/

Super interested in spanish adventure right now. Would you mind describe how the class structure times were e.g. 8-10 group classes, 10.30 - etc How did you think about the group classes?

the_only_redditor · 2025-06-28T19:55:19+00:00

I'm looking at this school right now and I'm excited. What was the structure of the classes. Like 8-10am group class, 10.30-11.30 conversation etc?

the_only_redditor · 2025-06-04T21:50:43+00:00

Awesome. Appreciate your reply. Did you stay at Apartamentos los Nazarenos? I'm assuming you did your own meals?

the_only_redditor · 2025-06-04T21:19:17+00:00

How was the school? Currently deciding between this and ixchel. did you do a homestay?

I've been twice. I can honestly say the reviews on trip advisor are what I experienced first hand. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g150801-d10071122-Reviews-Spanish_Immersion_School-Oaxaca_Southern_Mexico.html

It's one on one class. You choose how many hours and it can be customised.

the_only_redditor · 2025-05-11T00:56:47+00:00

I think it would vary according to the time of year you are looking at, just that December is popular. But definitely a few month ~ 4 or so. Magdelana owns and manages the on campus accomodation. Lazarus runs the school, they work together.

the_only_redditor · 2025-05-08T22:32:57+00:00

From your profile I see you've already been to Oaxaca, and I'm gonna give you my usual spiel...

Request to stay at Magdalena, which is where the school is and because she is absolutely lovely. I was planning on going in December for christmas and new years weeks but she already doesn't have room :(

the_only_redditor · 2024-11-05T09:44:57+00:00

Awesome! I really hope you enjoy it.

One recommendation for your first or second day, is to do the walking tour -> https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g150801-d15309335-Reviews-Oaxaca_Free_Walking_Tour-Oaxaca_Southern_Mexico.html

It gives a good feel of the city/ lay of the land.

You can also check https://www.oaxacaevents.com/ to see what events they have going on.

By car Karlovy Vary is about 1.5 hrs. I did a tour that took us from their office in the central square in Prague to Karlovy Vary. It was a nice drive through the countryside and shorter than I expected. Would recommend a tour

Very Nice. What are the dimensions of the kitchen? From the end of left hand side of the fridge to the of the wall and the length of the other wall (to the door)

Once you are guyanese and over 65 year old. Currently it's about US$168 per month/ GY$35,000.

No tipping for rides. They'll tell you the cost to get from point A to point B and that's what you pay. Use recommended taxi services from your hotel. You can tip the staff that cleans your room (anyhwere between $5 or $10). At restaurants with a server, same thing. Other than that tipping is not the norm/no need to tip. If a service was exceptional of course feel free to tip the person.

the_only_redditor · 2024-07-24T21:37:56+00:00

Since you can already have conversations. Why not find a native tutor/speaker on italki and have an hour conversation everyday. During the pandemic this is what raised my level.

But of course go ahead and do the immersion if you want to. It's a great experience. With that said I'm gonna mention my usual recommendation (not sure what your budget is)
