Iguana Abroad is a game changer!

As someone who’s been around Latin America a few times, I thought I had Spanish down pretty well – turns out maybe not really to be honest. Although I've trying to learn before, I guess I never really got to the level I wanted. So a few months ago I figured I’d give Iguana Abroad a go, and I'm so happy I did. From the moment I landed, everything felt pretty much effortless. For a start one of the much loved "two Harrys" came and picked me up at the airport and made sure I settled in comfortably – little things like that made a big difference to me I'd say.

I’d been to a fair few other places in Latin America, but Mexico was actually new to me, and Cuernavaca, where the program is, totally blew me away. It’s this beautiful, friendly little city that makes you feel like you're really getting a taste of Mexico. You won’t believe how perfect the weather is as well. Super good food, nice cafes, places to explore - I was definitely a big fan. Also, the Spanish classes were a game-changer for me. This program was different from anything I’d done before. The teachers were amazing, always encouraging me to talk and helping me practice in real situations.

By the end of the program, I was finally confident speaking Spanish and could understand things like local slang and cultural nuances that I’d never grasped before. But probably what really stood out was the immersion. The program went beyond just the classroom. We explored Mexico through excursions, cooking classes, and all sorts of cultural events that helped me connect with the language in a way I never could have imagined. From salsa dancing to historical tours, it wasn’t just about learning Spanish – it was about living it. This was what made Iguana Abroad different and better than the other options. I also met people from all over, and all of us with the same goal: to improve our Spanish and dive into a new culture, and this course was just perfect for that. I left the program with way more confidence in my Spanish and a ton of unforgettable memories and new friends.

Having traveled around Latin America before, I can honestly say that this program gave me a completely different experience. If you’re serious about mastering Spanish, this is the program that’ll finally break that language barrier. I couldn’t recommend it more!
