    I did study Spanish in San Pedro (different school)! It was such a wonderful experience. My home stay family were absolutely wonderful ❤ The reason I finally had a breakthrough with my Spanish was because of Guatemala! The locals speak a really slow, clear and simple Spanish (they also have their own native language). The lake is just beautiful too. It's just such a wonderful peaceful environment. I would definitely recommend anyone to study in Guatemala!

    I like the fact that you are presenting your viewers with options to learn Spanish from different teachers and in a Spanish speaking environment while at the same time having the ability to immerse yourself in the local culture. I would enjoy learning Spanish preceded by a Kayak sunrise over a volcano!

I've never heard of the school but I plan on researching it as an option to advance my Spanish knowledge. Thank you for all your wonderful videos and presenting el Español como experiencia!

    This is a very helpful and informative video for anyone who is considering Spanish classes abroad. I hope this type of video looking at different Spanish schools becomes a regular feature of your channel. 👋👋👋
    About 25+ years ago, every year for 2-3 weeks, I would attend a Spanish school - Spain (Malaga); Mexico (La Playa del Carmen); Ecuador (Quito and Cuenca); Peru (Lima); Argentina (Buenos Aires); Costa Rica (San Jose). As a solo traveler, this experience gave me the courage to re-visit these and other countries (Colombia, Chile) as a wandering tourist for extended visits. After watching this video, I regret NOT taking Spanish classes in Guatemala.
    Remember, it’s the individual Spanish teacher that makes the difference; not the country, the school or its facilities. My favorite school was in Malaga, Spain because the school rotated different teachers throughout the day so the students heard a different accent, a different speech cadence, different teaching method, etc. As a student, you don’t get comfortable learning from only one teacher so you’re always being challenged. It was like high school and college.
    Ecuador and Peru were also favorite countries for Spanish classes (and solo traveling) because the spoken Spanish was so easy to understand.

I’m from California and would love to learn Spanish and emerge myself in the Mexican culture. Maybe one day soon I will do it. You are my fav teacher, because you are not afraid to be yourself. Thank u for showing what others are offering too, only someone with great confidence would show what others are doing. I like seeing you in that role of interviewing others as well as seeing you do what u love. 😔🇺🇸🇲🇽

      Thank you for your kind message. I love teaching Spanish. What I love the most is to know somebody is learning Spanish. I visited 7 schools in Guatemala because I truly believe these schools are good and affordable. And I know people learn in different ways so I wanted to show a different angle for learning. I also think when people see a place they are less afraid of visiting it, and experience it. I like to show what other people do if I believe is good. These schools do a good job. I will be publishing the videos in the upcoming months. Saludos y abrazos de oso.

    I've twice been to San Pedro La Laguna. I'm a Canadian solo-male traveller. I love it there and it's very safe. I studied Spanish there also (different school). It's gorgeous there. San Pedro is pretty hilly, although not nearly as steep as Santa Cruz and then Panajachel is quite flat. I felt safer in the towns around Lake Atitlan than in my own city in Canada (in the evenings). Lots of great restaurants in San Pedro too...The Clover being my favorite (BEST spaghetti sauce I have EVER tasted).
