"More than just a language school"

Jennifer Bayer

I highly recommend complementing your vacation time with a Spanish course at "La Escuelita Language Immersion". Gabi is an excellent teacher and perfectly prepares the classes based on your individual language level and your objectifs. She works with very helpful materials for basic and intermediate/advanced level students.
Professionally and personally I really enjoyed the classes with her and noticed a clear progres over my 3 week program.

"La Escuelita" is perfectly located on the famous "punta" of Montañita, which is the quieter and more relaxed part of the village. The school is part of the Balsa Surf Camp, the ideal place to stay, eat, relax and enjoy your time there. Around, you will find chilled beach bars and a very good gastronomic variety.

Over all, I can't be grateful enough for this wonderful experience.
Mil veces GRACIAS, Gabi!
