Course description

Morning interactive classes cover the vocabulary, pronunciation, expressions, and grammar the student needs while one afternoon in the week the lesson continues either at the river or on horseback (based on the students' preference). The aim of the afternoon class is to continue in a more relaxed way as the guides give some instructions in English but converse with the students in Spanish, giving them the opportunity to practise.

School description

We are a small school of languages located in a semi-rural area of Pucón. We are focused on the communicative learning of the language, with a lot of practise and also students can choose to have other activities outside the school, like taking a pottery class or volunteer at a local hostel while studying Spanish with us. We have a lovely shaded patio where students can spend time.

School location

Our school is conveniently located in a peaceful, semi-rural setting that is only 10 minutes to downtown Pucón via public transportation. Colectivos (inexpensive ride-sharing taxis) pass by regularly so if you’re staying in town, you’ll have no problem getting to and from the school. If you’re looking for a quiet place to lay your head, there are several options nearby, including apartments and a homestay that is within walking distance of the school.
