Description: The Academia Latinoamericana de Español offers excellent programs for those who wish to quickly develop a working proficiency in Spanish. Choose from group, individual and super intensive courses to activities and teen programs, all taught by native speakers of Spanish. Courses start every Monday all year round and last from one week up to as many weeks as you wish. Besides Spanish classes, we also offer careers in Business Administration and Environmental Sciences. You may combine your Spanish course with volunteer work in a social or ecological project in a school, kindergarten, nursery or animal park. Besides regular classes students participate in cultural seminars, field trips, dance and cooking classes. Afternoon activities are arranged to local sights such as markets, cathedrals, museums and touristic sights of each city as well as soccer games, movie nights etc. Every arriving student will have a welcome orientation and city tour. We organize your trips, tours, transport and accommodation anywhere in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia - and what makes us truly unique: we are the only Spanish school in South America with schools in three different countries - you may even combine a Spanish course in several destinations while you explore these wonderful and exotic countries.

The focus of the Academia Latinoamericana is on communication and our methodology involves a natural approach to the Spanish language. The classes are dedicated to oral and written expression and comprehension as well as vocabulary and grammar studies. We guarantee that there are never more than 5 students in a group, often even less. On the first day of classes each student passes a written and oral placement test. There are nine levels of proficiency from complete beginner to superior and throughout the course students are tested on a weekly basis, so everyone continues gradually according to their own pace and personal effort.

Highlights: We are the only Spanish school in South America with schools in three different countries - you may even combine a Spanish course in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia while you explore these wonderful and exotic countries.
