I had a BLAST in La Ceiba

When I arrived to my homestay I was welcomed very warmly by the family who promptly took me to meet the Language School Program Director. Because I arrived on a holiday weekend, there was no class on Monday, but the Program Director offered to walk with me to the school to show me where it was and to join the group of students to watch the parade. I felt immediately safe and secure there. The one-on-one classes were intense, but very instructive, and after two weeks, I was speaking Spanish with confidence and a level of fluency that I hadn't achieved in 4 years of school in the U.S.
The night life was great, clubs and bars within walking distance. The neighborhood of the homestay was quiet and welcoming, and within walking distance to the school. Taxi service was cheap and easy, and the beach was a walk away - a group of students went to do homework in chaise lounges on the beach nearly every day. It was amazing. And I'd recommend it to anyone interested in learning Spanish. Honduras is a great place to do it because there aren't as many tourists to relapse into speaking English with - you really get a chance to practice Spanish every day. The locals are friendly and excited to help you learn Spanish. From this program I made many many long lasting friends both Honduran and Language school students from Europe and North America.
