Why choose Spanglish Colombia?

Fully immerse yourself in Colombian culture while learning Spanish. Spanglish is catered to foreigners who want an immersive experience and to understand the local culture in Colombia. The school is nestled on the mountain with a view of Jericó. Experienced teachers teach the classes. And the Colombian mother/grandmother of the house, prepares all the meals.
The school is approximately a 30-minute walk or a 10-minute tuk-tuk ride away. A beautiful landscape of mountains, farms, and trees surrounds Spanglish.
In the mornings, you can watch the clouds roll over the mountains as the dawn breaks. The fresh air is perfect for studying, reading, or practicing yoga while listening to the birds sing. The nights are quiet, as the school is far enough away not to have any road noise.
Jericó is a charming small town just 2.5 hours southwest of Medellin. Its average temperature ranges from 14°C to 23°C (57°F to 73°F), and it is surrounded by green forests and mountains.

Amazing

I spent 4 weeks at spanglish at the start of 2024. The only regret I had was not staying longer. It was fun, a good price and gave me an incredible basis in Spanish which I have been able to utilise very well. Saying that, I have been told that when I speak spanish, I now speak in a colombian accent. Spanglish is an amazing start for any travellers. I recommend it to anyone travelling to colombia. There are many opportunities for hiking, the town near by is small but beautiful and packed with things to do. The food is also spectacular. Everyone at the hostel is so kind and accommodating and (Ji)Raffa is an amazing teacher.

Rafa’s adaptive approach

Rafa at Splanglish Columbia offers an exceptional language learning experience that is both personal and enriching. His willingness to adapt to my learning curve made each lesson highly effective and enjoyable. The warmth extended by his mother, who not only cooked but also shared allowed us to cook her meals with her really added a unique, homey touch to the experience. Rafa's periodic check-ins, even after my sessions ended, showed his genuine care and commitment to my progress, making the impact of his teaching last well beyond the classroom. Everything about my time here made it the perfect experience. I can’t recommend it enough!

Spanglish

Spanglish school way the best way to start my trip in South America. It gave me a solid base on Spanish, contacts to travel with later on and lots of Memories with the family, the dogs and the other student. Rafa is a very good Spanish teacher who takes his time whilst teaching to explain to everyone, the school adapts to the level of every student which is great. The mother Olga is lovely and only speaks Spanish which is great for practicing! I loved my time there and hope to go back one day.
