"High quality teaching and learning experience. Excellent teachers and helpful staff."

Carla Crystal, student from UK

My experience with IMAC was great. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I learnt a lot in a short space of time and drastically progressed my Spanish language abilities.

I had an excellent teacher - Lia - who ensured that the lessons were fun and engaging. Lesson plans and learning styles were adapted to suit what I wanted and needed in order to progress. The tailored learning experience meant that I was more engaged and progressed faster.

The school facilities are great and all staff were incredibly helpful during my time there. Additionally, the school is located in a great place in the city, easily connected and close to the city centre.

"My experience was exciting and allowed me to meet many new people and experience a new culture."

Jacobi Towne, student from USA

I enjoyed the classes they were they were thorough and my favorite part was the mid week trips we got to take on Wednesdays. My teacher was very professional and good and explaining vocabulary and grammar. The school is centrally located in Guadalajara surrounded by museums plazas and restaurants, there is always something near to do. The best part of the trip for me was the family I stayed with they made me feel very welcome in their home and I can't praise them highly enough.

"My Experiences at IMAC"

Richard Gore, student from USA

IMAC is a very professional organization with qualified teachers. It's a large school with many classrooms. It's very well located in the center of Gualadajara. I only took private lessons. 2.5 hours a day for four days. We could not arrive on Monday, when group classes start. My teacher was good, but 2.5 hours one-on-one was mentally draining for me. I would recommend group classes if possible because the pressure to speak only Spanish for so long is less and there is more time to absorb the lessons. We did not participate in activities. We stayed nearby at the excellent Portobello hotel, which is not expensive by US or European standards.

Staying in the home of one of our carefully selected traditional Mexican families is one of the truly outstanding features of our Spanish language study program. One unique feature of our program is that we place only one student per family unless otherwise requested.

Our homestay program has the advantage of enabling you to be completely immersed both in the intensive use of the Spanish language at home as well as our way of life, our customs, and the traditional hospitality of a Mexican family which are completely different from others.

Our homestay program includes:
3 daily meals.
Private room.
WiFi.
Family interaction so the student may practice his Spanish skills and have a truly immersive experience.
Homestay fee is payable directly to the host family in cash by the student.

Our host families do not offer private bathroom.
