Learn Spanish in Antigua Guatemala:
Immersion Spanish Courses
Studying at Ixchel Spanish School in Antigua Guatemala is more than just learning to speak Spanish. While you acquire a solid knowledge of the Spanish language, you will also experience first-hand the customs and culture of Latin America and the fascinating history of Guatemala.
Therefore our Spanish courses consist of three essential components that will combine to give you an extraordinary and unforgettable learning experience:
One-on-one Spanish lesson
1. One-on-one Spanish lessons
Well-educated and motivated teachers with many years of experience teaching Spanish as a second language plan their classes individually for each students. They adapt the general lesson plan to your needs, interests and learning style and use the teaching techniques that work best for you. They go at the pace you need to make maximum progress without overloading you with more information than you can absorb.
2. Latin American culture and customs
While you study Spanish at the Ixchel Spanish school, you will also learn a lot about many aspects of living in Guatemala and Latin America. You will experience the customs and culture of the Spanish-speaking world and learn about Guatemala's fascinating history as well as the country's economic and political situation.
3. Personal experience
While other Spanish schools in Antigua Guatemala will teach you only the theory, we provide many opportunities to leave the classroom behind and practice your Spanish in realistic, real-life situations. Talking and interacting with native speakers, you will be able to apply what you've learned in class, which will boost your knowledge of the Spanish language and allow you to progress even more rapidly.

At the Ixchel Spanish School, learning doesn't end when your classes are over. We encourage our students to make the best use of their stay in Antigua and we do our best to provide many opportunities where they can continue learning and practicing outside of the classroom.
Daily activities and excursions to places of interest are ideal to practice your Spanish in everyday situations and make many valuable experiences.
Flexible Schedules
Apart from planning our courses for each student individually according to his or her needs, interests and learning style, we also offer very flexible schedules so that you can go at the pace you are most comfortable with. We offer from two to eight hours a day, up to six days a week.

Our Spanish courses are recognized by the Guatemalan Ministry of Education. Upon request, we can provide certificates of attendance, which state the dates of your course, the number of hours you've studied, and the level you've reached.

This program allows you to get credits for the courses you take at Ixchel Spanish School and consists of nine levels from beginner to advanced.
