Course description

Group Program

All our courses from beginning to the most advanced are made up of small groups ranging from 1 to 10 students which provide an ideal learning atmosphere. The smaller the groups the faster and more effective the learning, since there is a dramatic fall in individual achievement and speed of learning as the size of the group increases above 10 students. You can decide to study from as little as one week up to as many as you desire.

Our Spanish language immersion offers levels which fall into three categories: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

Listening, Speaking, Pronunciation, Reading, Writing, Vocabulary, Grammar and Activities

"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.

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.
