Instituto Cultural Oaxaca Spanish School in Mexico

I studied at ICO for 6 weeks and was very impressed with the program !
The staff are knowledgeable, considerate and fun. I met a lot of incredibly dynamic folks during my time at ICO - Students and staff alike! The full program offers a unique approach to studying and learning Spanish, and I would recommend it to anyone -- any age, or level of study. (They have kids programs - so entire families can, and do attend.) I thoroughly enjoyed the cooking workshops, where we got to learn about local Oaxacan culture and cuisine, and learn all the language of the kitchen - It is really a unique experience! The addition of the intercambio component was very helpful for me. M-TH you meet with a local for about an hour, where you are able to practice your Spanish in an informal setting [the schools BEAUTIFUL garden] and in turn, they are able to practice their english. I was able to learn a lot of slang through my time spent with my Intercambio!
