Don't miss your chance to experience this course

My time with Iguana Abroad was actually my fifth time in Mexico, but the first course I have ever done there, and I would be very happy to say, this trip has been easily the best one of the lot for quite a few reasons. I would say probably the main reason was the homestay that I did, which may not be for everyone, but has been one of the best and most memorable experiences of my life. Pablo and Nohemi, my wonderful hosts, made Iguana Abroad and my time in Mexico this summer incredibly special. They went above and beyond to share everything they love about Mexico, from its traditions and cuisine to its vibrant culture, warm hospitality and natural beauty. For me the homestay was one of the most “immersive” parts of the Iguana Abroad course which helped most with my Spanish and I will value forever. Mexico is a very special country.

A lot of the people on the course, including the program directors (the two Harrys), their friends from Cuernavaca and the other IA students on the course are people that I will stay in touch with forever, and are some of the friendliest, kindest and funniest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Every moment on the trip was so much fun and everybody did so much to help me with my Spanish. My time on the Iguana Abroad course truly showed me the best things about Mexico… and even after four previous visits to Mexico I didn’t realise that there was still so, so much more to learn and discover about this wonderful country and its culture.

Over the 4 weeks on the course I went from a fairly basic A2 level to a pretty much fluent B2 level which I’ve heard is really impressive, even on an immersion course, and by the end of the trip most of the conversations I was having at my homestay were in Spanish (even though they could both speak pretty perfect English).

Another reason this course was really special was because of the location. Cuernavaca is simply beautiful, full of nature, culture, cobbled streets, really beautiful architecture, great restaurants and cafes - the perfect place to learn Spanish, and I always felt safe exploring every corner of the city.

If you are thinking about visiting Mexico, the Iguana Abroad course is a really great option and one I’ve recommended to all of my friends and family. This was a really unique, perfectly designed course and an opportunity that if you have, you shouldn’t miss.
