What a great program!!

I absolutely love the format and pace of the classes here, they allow for optimal time to learn and practice. This week the instuctor was Deydi and she is super knowledgeable about all things espanol which is super helpful! I wish there were more opportunities for interactive experiences in the class. We spent a lot of time listening, which is super important but I wish we would have had more time talking. Overall, it was a great week.

Is is evident that Deydi really knows the Spanish language, she is a great teacher and corrects us when we are stumbling which is helpful. I wish she incorporated more activity-movement-games into the lessons. I felt as though I was sitting more than normal. I also would like to have more words-sentences-phrases written on the board to help us learn. I really liked how she talked to us about real life scenarios to help us practice our listening skills.

I absolutely LOVE all that Instituto Bilingue has to offer...what a great program!!

All of the experiences are amazing! I love Club A because it gives you hands on practice with kids from the area. I also love the excursions planned and otherwise. The Poza de Pipa is a hidden gem and there are no tourists there which is amazing and allows you to practice your spanish if you interact with the locals. The one thing I would like to see in the future is guided tours. Most of the ¨tours¨ are self guided meaning we pay for the transportation to-from but there is no guidance at the location and I would like to have more actual guidance.

I love everyone here! The teachers are great, the cleaning staff and receptionists are so super pleasant and hard working. Franklin is a fantastic driver...those roads to Poza di Pipa are NO JOKE! And Bethany is like a ray of light!

Are you serious? My family is amazing! I would live with them forever if I could. They have been MORE than accomodating with their meal preparation and their patience with my horrible spanish! I really could not have asked for a better more friendly more amazing family!
