Spanish World Institute

Best School in Bogota!!

I attended the 4 week semi-intensive course and I made more progress than I could have ever imagined! Maria and Eduardo are kind and gracious hostess, not to mention phenomenal instructors. I highly recommend anyone interested in improving their Spanish to take this course. It’s definitely worthwhile!!

Improving my Spanish thanks to Spanish World Institute in Bogota

A friend of mine who works in Bogota recommended the Spanish World Institute to me, as a means of practicing the language for a few weeks while I stayed in Bogota. I spent six weeks in the city and at the institute, taking three hours of Spanish classes every weekday. I teach Spanish I in my home country, so the opportunity to exercise my skills with native speakers was not to be missed.

Four of these six weeks were spent in private lessons, and the remaining two were spent studying alongside two other students. We were able to practice all four key components of the language: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Two of the teachers were especially effective in delivering their lesson plans due to their experience, and I will remain in contact with them in the future.

The activities we engaged in on Wednesday and Friday afternoons were also a fun way in which we were able to explore the city of Bogota in more depth. We went to such places as the Finca Bolivar, the National Museum, Parque 93 and the Usaquen market. I highly recommend the institute to anyone who wishes to improve their understanding of the Spanish language while also immersing themselves in local Bogota and Colombian culture.

Maria Rozo is (the owner) is a horrible person, she treats her teachers and every person in general as slaves, yell at them allá the time, she is really insane, there are better schools in Bogota, don't waste your money there.

CARTAGENA

I only spent a week at The Spanish World Institute in CARTAGENA and it was fantastic!
I was the only student and had two wonderful teachers, Victoria and Tania. They helped me a lot and now I feel much more comfortable speaking in Spanish (even though it's still very basic). I could ask them anything and they know a lot about their language. I also loved the fruit stand near the school, where you could get fruit salads during recess :-)
Sometimes we had activities in the afternoon, like a bike-tour or a juice-afternoon in the old town.
Cartagena is very charming and there's lots to see and do.
