Life-Changing Language Learning!

Before coming to Mexico, I’d tried learning Spanish on and off for years, but it never really clicked. Iguana Abroad completely changed that. This program isn’t just about sitting in a classroom—it’s about actually using the language in real life, and that’s what made all the difference for me.

From the start, everything was organized perfectly. The airport pickup, settling into Cuernavaca, and getting to know everyone on the program felt so seamless. Cuernavaca itself is such a cool place – it’s vibrant and full of culture, but also super relaxing, so you can really soak it all in. I hadn’t been to Mexico before, but it instantly felt like home.

The Spanish classes were next-level. The teachers didn’t just teach; they made sure we were constantly speaking, even if we messed up. They encouraged us to step out of our comfort zones, which made a huge difference. By the end of the course, I was having actual conversations in Spanish—something I never thought I’d be able to do.

What really stood out, though, were the cultural experiences. We weren’t just learning the language; we were living it. We cooked Mexican dishes, explored hidden gems like Las Estacas and Tepoztlán - a secret waterfall, plus even danced salsa with some local pros. One of my favorite moments was visiting a local festival—it was wild, colorful, and completely unforgettable. Every event felt like a chance to dive deeper into Mexican culture while practicing Spanish in a natural way.

The people I met on the program were amazing, too. We came from all over the world, but we all bonded over shared experiences and a love for learning. I left with new friends, incredible memories, and, finally, real progress in my Spanish.

If you’re looking for a program that mixes learning, adventure, and culture, Iguana Abroad is it. It’s not just a language course—it’s an experience that changes the way you see the world.
