IMAC Spanish Language Programs - Learn Spanish in Mexico: what do users think?
K T: Coming here greatly improved my Spanish and was a fantastic opportunity to learn about the city and meet many people.
Oliviana Moreno: i took a couple weeks of spanish here in feb 2022, really enjoyed my time and my teacher was great. when you get there, they have you speak to someone to assess your placement and i felt like i was in just the right class for my level. they have multiple locations where they also teach english and we took field trips and met up with groups of english learners to tour new areas and practice together. i thought that was fun and clever.
Annica S: I researched so many Spanish immersion programs and I'm so happy I chose IMAC. Daniela A. is a fantastic instructor. I will certainly be back.
Robert Albert: I took two weeks of Spanish at this school in December 2022 and was really happy with the experience. Teacher Katya Ramos was excellent and the school was well run: well located, and serious in its mission. Don't expect a fancy facility, but the substance was there. Each week they pair the English and Spanish learners together for language practice on walks through Guadalajara which was particularly fun. ¡Muy bien, IMAC!
Colleen Malone: I spent 5 weeks at IMAC in Guadalajara late in 2022 and loved the experience! If you are serious about improving your Spanish (not just picking up some tourist language), I highly recommend it and I hope to return for further study in 2023.Because I didn't know what to expect I will detail what I experienced: Classes are 4 hours a day (from 9-1) with a 15 min break around 11. I never had a class with more than 5 students in it and usually there were 3 (it fluctuates--see below re: placement). The instruction (and textbook) is entirely in Spanish, only occasionally will the teacher relent and clarify something in English--this is true immersion! There's an optional additional hour intercambio (conversation) from 1-2 with the local students at the same school who are learning English. Additionally, on Wednesdays there is a field trip during class hours --either walking to a nearby location with the local students and exchanging relevant vocab words (once we went to a church, another time to a Christmas market) or taking a bus to another area of town to meet up with the English students at that IMAC location). There's a short test every Friday--I get the sense that it is as much for documenting your progress as it is for evaluating the teachers. I had 3 different instructors in 5 weeks (because of class changes, see below) and two of them were excellent! (If you are lucky enough to get Emmanuel or Katia, please tell them I say hola!) The 4 hours in class went very quickly--there were lots of varied activities/exercises: silly vocabulary games in the form of Taboo or charades, listening to recordings and (trying to) answer questions about th content, written exercises and review, and a lot of "discuss this topic with a partner." And there's a bit of homework too.The intermediate textbook cost me about $50 (US). The grammar lessons and vocab are buried in a context approach--each chapter has a theme (e.g. health, real estate, Spanish history or famous people). I understand this approach but to be honest I would have like more repetitive simple drills on some concepts (which I would find on the internet after class).Re: placement. The schedule of classes is seemingly erratic and solely based on which students show up in a given week. Each course level (beginner, intermediate, etc.) is about 5-6 weeks long. And they seem to start whenever they have enough students at that level (2-3 people) and simply end when it doesn't have any students left--during my 5 weeks there were several folks who came for just a week or two, so every Monday the class configuration was different--someone gone, someone new, and a few folks who were sticking it out from start to finish. In other words, you can start any Monday but you may be starting in the third week of an ongoing course (as I did). It's not really a problem though, as the lessons don't seem to build on each other directly--though presumably the earlier lessons in a course will be easier?Last but not least, here was my scheduling experience for 5 weeks: They initially placed me in the first week of a beginner course but I balked (I came with some vocab and could conjugate present tense verbs so I was pretty full of myself 🙄, and I got put in the next available alternative--the third week of the intermediate course (Chaps 5-6). I was in WAY over my head but I stuck with it for two weeks and learned a LOT (in retrospect starting in the middle of the beginners course may have been more appropriate for me--perhaps too easy but I would have reviewed a lot of foundational stuff that I apparently lacked). And then I joined week 2 of another Intermediate course (Chaps 3-4). There were only 3 of us in that class and we negotiated for the following week to repeat Chaps 1-2 since none of us had done that yet.
maria 1125: They cater to your needs. I am currently in Mexico and have 5 kids who understand Spanish, but don't speak Spanish correctly or fluently enough to get their point across clearly. So, I simply asked for conversational classes. Each of my 5 kids had a teacher for 3 hours for 3 days a week, for 4 weeks. They went over a 20 minute lesson and then had conversations with one break, talking about all sort of things. My kids ranged from 6 to 15 years of age. I decided to do it this way because, if I put them in the same room...only my more verbal kids would speak. This way they were forced to communicate and get out of their comfort zone of simply being a listener in class. The only thing I disliked was that the teachers wore masks. I get it...they are scared even though the studies from France and Germany say the masks don't work. However, because the purpose is to learn correct pronunciation and for that one needs to see mouth movement. Other than that, my kids loved the experience and when we come back we will surely use them again. FYI...I asked the teachers to remove their mask for the picture.
Fernando Steve Gamboas Murillo: Excellent place to learn and develop your English as it has different tools and professional teachers. My favorite part is the conversation between students at the school, like people who come from other places.
John: I was there for 4 weeks starting end of October 2020. I thought the school and classes were great! Instructors were very well educated in the language and how to teach, classes were small, (for me 2 to 4 students) and the atmosphere was friendly and fun. Covid procedures were in placed and strictly followed. I think it's a matter of how hard you want to work at learning. I worked hard and it paid off. I'm back in Guadalajara now (January 2021) and plan to take 4 more weeks of classes. Thanks to Miriam and Daniela for being great instructors!
Sarah Dodson: I highly recommend taking a Spanish-language class at IMAC. I can't recall my teacher's name, but his lessons and attention to detail have remained in my mind and have truly helped me to become a more proficient Spanish speaker. Classes are small and allow each student the opportunity to speak and ask questions (but not "take over" the class). I found that my classmates as well as other students in the school were engaged and dedicated--not just to the classes, but to learning about the city. If I could return this approaching winter, I would in a heartbeat.
Matthew LeClere: I studied at IMAC from October 2017 to December 2017 in one of their intensive Spanish Language programs and wow! Really it was a amazing experience and gave me a super solid foundation/boost in the Spanish language! Now my Spanish is far fom perfect but because of what I gained from them I was able to communicate much more easily with my friends who speak limited English!
Lyle Brown: I studied here two different times for about one or two weeks each time. My experience was great. I met people from all over the world studying Spanish here. It was a lot of fun and it is so great to go to a Spanish speaking country to learn Spanish. Immersing yourself 100% really helps.I stayed farther out of town and took the light rail or a taxi into the city. It was fun and I really enjoyed the experience of living in the city for a bit.My only concern for going again would be the general lack of good restrooms (both at IMAC and in Guadalajara.) They have a lot of English students as well and the restrooms can be a real problem. But overall I was very happy with the experience and one day will return.
sulaiman Aloraini: Great school and they advantage is that they have English and Spanish courses so you could practise your language with local speakersTeachers’ quality is great as well
Kade MacNeille: Great place to learn Spanish! I am a Spanish Teacher in the U.S. and I like to take time once in a while to brush up on my Spanish by immersing myself in the culture and language once more. First off, I have to say that I had a terrific teacher, Corinna, who was very intelligent and attentive. It is also good to note that the school doubles as a Spanish and English school, so part of the experience is participating with the locals in various activities as they practice their English while you practice Spanish. It was blast! The host families are also very friendly and accomodating (all meals included). Overall, for the great price and wonderful experience I wouldn't hesitate to visit again!
Werner Schueller: completely dysfunctional operation. overpriced. poor quality of facilities and teachers.

Ricardo Morua: Muy bien lugar
Ulises Saldaña: El analizador tiene un tono horrible para dirigirse a la gente además de que se quedaba dormido en medio examen
juan pablo Alejandre: The schedule is until 7 at night so that they take it into account
Eli Ponce de León: They should update the hours. I came on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. and the person who attends was just leaving and told me that he could not attend me because he had to leave.
Miguel Reyes: very good place
Santiago Quesada: He does a hairstyle to the building.. that's all. Everything else very well
Gabriela Martínez: Lovely place
Janet Conde: I only showed up to take my exam, but everything was fine.
Jos Ruiz: , lo único es que no cuenta con estacionamiento propio de la escuela, pero todo lo demás excelente(Translated by Google
José Mario Estrada Ramírez: I took my IELTS test here, the service is not as good as one would expect. About the test everything was fine. The place is small and there is no parking.
juan miguel rivas del toro: At IH I took the IELTS course and exam and it was a very good experience, our teacher was Stuart, who is British and always gave excellent classes, clarified all doubts and was very dynamic, in the end the result of my exam was very good and allowed me to enter my master's degree at King's College London
Lucia Vazquez: I signed up to take the IELTS exam and before paying I was given the option to choose my time for the oral exam. In the end, International House does not respect that schedule and puts you on the schedule it wants. They better not have that option on their website if they are not going to respect it
PONTE FIT: One of his teachers denied me the exam for no reason and raised false statements about me, if I could sue him I would.
Luis Ontaneda: Your service is horrible. They changed my exam dates 2 times. Seriously if you are considering this place, don't choose it.
Elena Núñez: , después les marqué yo (nunca contestaron
Luis Q.O: Excellent courses, they helped me a lot to improve my English
Ana Margarita Santillan Medina: For the amount they charge for the course and exam they should be more attentive and answer the phone. It's sooo hard to get calls answered.

Instituto Mexico Americano de Cultura: what do users think?
Gloria Rodriguez: It's a very good school!
Stevo Steverino: Was apprehensive at first, not knowing what to expect. The school is very organized, but make sure you get the book(s) materials early - they may not have, my only negative.This was fun, AND hard work. I took 6 weeks of classes, it really helped me feel more part of the culture - interacting with Mexicans every day, and making friends with los Estudiantes Extranjeros.You will not become fluent in 3 or 6 weeks but you WILL have the opportunity to move forward dramatically. I liked the materials and the subject matter it used for each chapter.By book 2 you are listening to somewhat complicated conversations, and understanding better. You get to practice with locals, and they - their inglés with you. (maybe 2/3 of the students are studying english?) The Mexican students are super nice.There are Wednesday trips to visit significant places or historical sites, and you pair up one-on-one with Mexican students. This is a chance to ask questions about just about anything you want about the culture.Some of the foreign students have been to the school before, and come back to learn more. I am considering the same for myself. Guadalajara is a huge candy store once you become comfortable with it.
Dylan Román: Terrible service and quality.
manuela ochoa: Very good school, I highly recommend it, a good teacher I had and the teaching plan is good.
Jose Rafael Gonzalez Sanchez: Thats very cool
Cecy “Pixineko” Cervantes: It is a good place to learn, the plan is intensive and worth it.Highly recommended.
Abigail Ramírez: ¿Qué onda con los malos comentarios?Yo estudié en IMAC hace poco, y fue de mis mejores experiencias, los maestros súper buenos y agradables, las instalaciones limpias, y me agrada mucho que esté en un edificio céntrico ya que l hace más lindo por dentro, lo recomiendo ampliamente. Estuve en muchas escuelas de inglés y todas horribles.Anímense sin miedo!!! ❤️
Brenda Lujano: Super mala experiencia pesima administracion nos cambiaban de maestro cada 15 dias ni siquuera nos tenian registrado como grupo pesima cero recomiendo esta escuela hay muchas escuelas de ingles muy buenas pero IMAC Cero recomendable
Gus: Sin duda la mejor opcion para aprender ingles, te va a encantar desde el primer dia. Además tiene muchas opciones que se pueden ajustar a tus horarios📚
Isiani Franco: Excellent English school.
HÉCTOR MIGUEL: Not even a week ago I published a complaint they asked me to send an email and nothing, today due to my need to change the schedule I ran into another scam attempt, they told me that if I go back a level they will deduct a payment from the that I did in advance why is it not for academic reasons. The lady who identified herself as Monserrat told me that since I had already repeated two levels, two payments had already been deducted. The only thing missing was that they steal my advance payments and use it as blackmail so that one cannot repeat courses, when they sold me the course they never mentioned that, they even told me that for twenty pesos I could return it as many times as necessary and that I considered. It also says that neither the administrator nor the coordinator can attend to me because they went to eat and come back until four and I dial at one. Now are you going to attend to me or do I send you another Mail? They haven't answered me. I think they only put that here to send your email so you don't put it anymore, but either they return my money or they give me a solution.
Guzz gzz: They don't have cleaning staff on site? It smells horrible, like drainage, they should do something because that damages the image of their school a lot. I can't comment on the classes or the level because I really didn't want to enroll
madmaxpowermx: Today I went to ask for reports and the truth is that I didn't even want to sign up, the place has a disgusting smell like drainage, I can't imagine smelling like that during classes.
ulegamer: Porque a cada 2 o 3 meses te cambian al profesor y hasta Incluso te lo cambian en menos de 1 mes con la excusa de "se fue a la institución de Tonala o Zapopan" y te dejan profesores DEMASIADOS MALOS cuando tenias el profesor/@ bueno que realmente saben enseñar.3- Fui 6 meses, todo bien, hasta que toco la profesora pesima (repetia mucho las mecanicas del after me, no motivaba al grupo y nos notabamos aburridos, no hacia mecanicas diferentes como: pruebas, juegos dinamicos con el ingles.
Rocio Aguirre: Too bad you can't put ZERO STARS. My reasons?1. It's a HORRIBLE PLACE!!!!! physically it is horrendous, at least the Guadalajara branch, nothing to do with the photos they put on their website.2. By message they are zero cordial and they send you the link of their website as the only method of information because they don't care to attend to your messages.3. When you go in person you are greeted by 2 girls at the reception, sorry, they are a couple of assholes who know absolutely nothing because when you ask them they don't know what to answer and they only read what is on their website and they think that with that they give you reports. AND BY THE WAY!! one of them left me hanging with her partner and never showed up again. SUPER RUDE!!!4. By force they want to make you take their English classes and they argue by telling you that they give you a placement test when you were only looking for one of their additional courses, but not their classes.5. Their online classes are simple recorded videos, there are no teachers who give you online classes as they say on their website.6. They tell you that you practice with foreigners when nothing to see.THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE STUDYING ENGLISH AT THIS SCHOOL. IF THIS IS THEIR QUALITY OF ATTENTION, IMAGINE THEIR ACADEMIC QUALITY.SOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Alan Ramirez: I really liked it so much that I go to classes and in fact my mother was taking English and my brothers were also going, that's why I highly recommend this school in terms of English
Alejandro Nolasco: excellent institution
Carlos de Jesús Villalobos Alvarez: Well, it fulfills its purpose, not in the best way, they never change teachers or at least during three levels that I studied it was always the same, the audiovisual areas do not work, neither does the classroom equipment, but it does what it "offers" In relation to price-quality, personally I did not like his methodology but that was personally.
Dyvaan: I study there, the teachers are highly trained and the administration is always very attentive
Araceli Ontiveros Mtz: It is an excellent English school.Only that the facilities require more maintenance
Diego Cuevas: Very good school!!

Guadalajara Language Center: what do users think?
Steve Sax: The teachers were awesome. The only somewhat issue is it is really tricky to combine students with such different capabilities in a class, so some classes you may not get as much as you wanted from certain sessions. The classes usually had only one or two other people in them. I still learned a lot. Wouter takes great care of his students before during and after classes. The home stays were great. It is definitely very budget friendly too.
Perlita Pistache: They are very kind to the students, good teachers, especially Diana.
Jaeann Tschiffely: I highly recommend GLC. The teachers I had were amazing. Karen was knowledgeable about the language and a skilled teacher. Wouter was responsive throughout my stay and provided information and opportunities for an enjoyable stay in Guadalajara. He took us hiking to a beautiful waterfall one week and to some nearby ruins the next as well ask recommending other things to do in the city. Such a friendly place as well as being a great place to learn.
Felix Anton Faller: I can highly recommend GLC if you are looking for ways to improve your spanisch skills in Guadalajara. Wouter is super nice, the classes are well organized and worth every penny. I learned a lot in the time being and would always advice this school. Not just because it is very economical, but also because of the familiar atmosphere between the teachers and students and the free outside school activities that are offered. Wouter can also help you out if you are looking for a place to stay in Tlaqueparque, a quiet and lovely neighborhood of Guadalajara. 5 Stars, no doubt!
Samuel Hawley: My wife and I studied Spanish at the Guadalajara Language Center for one month, in Aug-Sept. 2021. We were very satisfied with the classes, and the friendly atmosphere of the school. It was like having a family in Guadalajara. A nice thing too about the GLC is that the owner, Wouter Stut, has a selection of apartments for rent as well, so we were able to arrange our classes and our accommodation with the school. Our apartment was only 5 blocks from the school, barely a seven-minute walk. Very convenient! Wouter also took us on several memorable excursions, to a nearby hot springs, to the archaeological ruins at Guachimontones, and up the dormant volcano of Nevado de Colima. All in all we had a great time at the GLC.
Jeffrey Turner: Good teachers located in tourist friendly Tlaquepaque. Owner is a great host.
Hailey Triggs: Due to COVID my flights to Mexico were cancelled back in June/July. I asked Wouter, the owner, to refund my $100 deposit I made prior to the pandemic. We have exchanged emails for months, and despite me providing PROOF that my flights were cancelled, he has taken the route of 1) arguing with me about policy, and 2) claiming that the $100 goes towards the mental energy of booking me.In my opinion, a business is defined by how it handles crises. I think we can all claim that what we have gone through this year is a crisis. Therefore it boggles me that any business owner wouldn't be flexible with clients and their business policies in general.I have received refunds from many businesses, as I am sure many have, due to COVID. This empathy and flexibility towards clients maintains trust, and ultimately, a client returning to the business in the future. Sadly this will not be the case for me in regards to GLC.Below is the last email I received. Make your own decision if you want to go this school.Dear Hailey,You are the first of all students that request their deposit back. Also about your flight. It is not that you couldn't go. It was just that particularly flight that was canceled and they gave you three options including taking the next available flight which was the next day, yesterday. The reason that you are not coming dont think has anything to do that your initial flight on the 3rd got canceled as you could have taken the next flight at the 4th. I have people still arriving from the US several times a week.Your financial situation is in away of no concern to me as my financial situation as well should be as no concern to you. It would be weird if I would raise the price from one day to another if I would have some financial problems.Paying you or not has nothing to do with honesty. Honesty is for example not saying that you cant come because of your flight has been canceled. Your not the first where a flight has been canceled and it happens once in a while. This never has been a reason for a student not to come.Actually the airline is not returning your money as I read it. They just give you a voucher which you can use for any other flight in the future and you probably paid more then a 100 USD deposit for this flight. Are they as well dishonest??I think your duty as an honest client is understand that I cant change policies according my clients financial situations not even knowing if it is true or not and you should understand that cost already have been made. People have spend time on your reservation and have been paid for that. I am offering kind of the same as the airline is doing which is offering the online Spanish classes or deduct the 100 USD deposit when you like to come another time.I think it is your duty as an honest businessman to take into account the unfortunate circumstances of your clients that have chosen to give you their patronage.I think it is your duty as an honest client to take into account the unfortunate circumstances of our school that already have been spending on your reservation and have not be able to rent out your accommodation as this was not available as for 2 weeks before your arrival and has been closed for 2 months.In all the dealings I’ve had to do for refunds during this pandemic, I have yet to come up against a business that hasn’t been completely understanding and willing to refund me.In all the dealings I´ve had with cancellations and school being closed during this pandemic, I have yet to come up against a client that hasnt been completely understanding and willing to accept my proposal according the deposit payment.Best regards,Wouter Stut
Lauren Kee: I had an incredible experience at the Guadalajara Language Center! I took Spanish classes there during Feb/March 2020 and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The teachers are amazing and help you learn practical language skills, the director (Wouter) is well-connected and can point you toward anything you need in the city, and there are so many activities and excursions you can do while in Tlaquepaque such as walking tours, markets, bike tours, hiking, soccer, etc. I will definitely be coming back in the future.
shawn smith: Very good spanish school! Teachers were very good and each with different teaching styles to suit your specific learning style.And Wouter the director is very good about organizing events and making sure everybody gets the most out of their stay.I stayed in the shared apartment and it was perfect! Best value for the money in my opinion.
Marthe Bierens: I studied Spanish for 4 weeks in the Guadalajara Language Centre and it was an amazing experience. Studying Spanish here has been great, I feel way more confident in day to day situations and am able to have small conversations with people. I feel that in only 4 weeks with no prior experience in spanish, it exceeded my expectations. I regularly get compliments about my Spanish, people are very surprised that I just had Spanish classes for 4 weeks, which is all due to the great effort of the teachers. Besides the great classes, the Guadalajara Language Centre also offers a lot of (free) activities. Wouter, the owner, will take you hiking in the beautiful canyon nearby, you can visit lucha libre together in guadalajara (you pay your own ticket), there are free walking tours and a lot more. And if you decide to do something else and have some questions, Wouter is always very willing to help you. The language school is in Tlaquepaque, which is a beautiful little town, 30 minutes from Guadalajara. You can stay there but if you prefer Guadalajara, Ubers are around 80/100 pesos but another great options is the camion (bus 275b) for 7 pesos. I took it every day and never had any problems. All in all a great experience!
sa scudamore: Had an excellent experience. You are assessed during the classes and moved if you have over or under estimated your skill level. Tutors were all very nice and use a range of methods. The additional tours and visits arranged were lots of fun and allowed us to experience some more local things than we might have managed alone
Kyu Lee: I am 76 years old and learning Spanish as a hobby. I had been studying the language by myself for three years and wanted to experience the formal instruction in a place where Spanish is spoken as a daily language. What attracted me to this school was the fact that it offered my stay with a Mexican family as an immersion program. I had the fortune to stay with the Bustamante's. Javier and Tere were not only perfect hosts but also tremendous teachers of Spanish as well as the Mexican culture. Our mealtime conversations covered a variety of topics ranging from our backgrounds to foods, tourist sites, politics and social issues. Twice a day we spent a considerable amount of time conversing with each other, of course, Javier helping with my Spanish. It felt as if I had had another set of teachers in them. When I had difficulty understanding them, they would slow down and patiently repeated their words. We had so much fun talking about so many different things that we joked that we were solving the problems of the world together. Once I told Javier that I had a hard time understanding the language that Mexicans on the street use, he advised me that I should go to the town square and try to talk with people as often as possible. I followed his advice and went to the town square almost every night and initiated a conversation with whoever sitting alone on a bench. Most people I approached were very kind and quite willing to talk with me. I enjoyed the experience tremendously.The language school under the guidance of Wouter Bastian is well run and the quality of teachers is outstanding. My four weeks of stay in Tlaquepaque passed quickly and I hated leaving the school and the Bustamante's. If I were a little younger than my actual age, I would consider returning to them over and over again.
Chia Wei Liang: Awesome school, the school offer a lot of activities beside class like food tour, hiking, city tour,parties etc. if you wanna enjoy study spanish also experience Mexico culture , stop searching, here is the place to be, they also provide the short term apt rental and homestay, pretty much everything, my teacher is Monica y Edith. both teachers are awesome, one of the best school in my life !! strongly recommend !!
Emily Barrett: I just spent 5 weeks in Tlaquepaque, learning Spanish at GLC and exploring the area through various activities and tours.I really enjoyed my time and learnt so much. My teacher (Monica) was fabulous and Wouter (owner of GLC) was an amazing resource. I also used GLC's accomodations: I first spent 2 weeks at a homestay and after that 3 weeks in an apartment. I was happy with both options and wish I could have stayed a lot longer.I absolutely recommend GLC, if you are looking to start learning Spanish or just wanting to improve, they have options for everyone!
My First Fish Tank “My First Fish Tank”: My family has been coming here for a couple of years now. Last year for three weeks and this year for a month. My daughter goes to a local Montessori school in the mornings, and my wife and I take private tutoring lessons in the morning. We also rent an apartment from the school, which is close to town, the school, and has every amenity we need.The owners name is Wouter and he is super responsive to any need that may arise. He is Dutch, but has lived in Mexico for many years and has a lovely family. He lives right near town and uses WhatsApp to respond quickly to anything that arises. It is nice having an English speaker who also knows the area so well just in case.Wouter not only runs a school and rents out apartments, he also arranges homestays and outings. When we arrived last year, he invited my family to join his at the zoo, and we had a great time.The school itself is close to the center of town, and has multiple classrooms and balcony space for both private tutoring and small classes. The prices are affordable and competitively priced. They will cater the content to what you want to work on, and even take you to local museums and coffee shops if you want.Tlaquepaque is an amazing town, it feels very safe, and you can't beat the culture. It is a tourist destination, but only for other Mexicans and Latin Americans. Restaurants, coffee shops, and art stores fill the streets, along with the sounds of Mariachi. The heart of town is around El Parián, and is closed to cars. It is only a 20 minute uber ride to the airport, to downtown Guadalajara, and only 40 minutes to Lake Chapala.And being a mile high, it is much cooler than the latitude suggest. The bit months are typically during spring in North America. In late June or early July, the rainy season comes and the weather cools to a high of about 80 degrees with daily thunder storms. It is a perfect summer temperature, and not very humid.I couldn't recommend the Guadalajara Language Center enough!
Welcome Words: large professional staff so i did not meet them all - my tearchers were edith - monica - elizabeth - alan - and each was responsive to my questions and made learning fun and stressless.accurate assessment of skill level - diverse student body - good value - excellent location as tlaquepaque is safe, clean, quiet, mellow and people smile and look you in the eye and are polite - and guadalajara is literally at your doorstep as the bus (40¢) into the city center stops at the school.the school takes students on hikes into the hills and lakes - arranges 45 minute massages ($15.) if you want one - arranges pedicures - takes students to the haunted walk-about, arranges an amazing trips to archaeological ruins, a really great walking food tour, accomodations and more :)wouter - the owner of the school - is terrific and very easy going.* i had to have dental work done and wouter took time to take me to the dentist so i would have a clear understanding of the procedures to be done.* furthermore the machine they used to asses my teeth was unlike anything we have back in the states - i was shocked that it was so cutting edge.* and without knowing the diagnosis my dentist back in the states had given me, this dentist in tlaquepaque gave me the identical diagnosis.upshot - the guadalajara language school - and tlaqupaque earn an A+

Culturlingua: what do users think?
homebound spoon: If you want to be bothered by mosquitoes the whole class, inexperienced teachers and neglected classrooms
sergio lagunas: In that place you learn English in an entertaining way
Alberto Huerta: Excellent attention and service very good level of education
Ray Coon: A waste of money and time. The teacher did not adjust to my level. She always taught more advanced and didn’t explain grammar well. Also , the school had no cultural excursions. They told me I could do one on one with Spanish speaking students before coming, but told me that no one was available. Lastly, Tlaquepaque and Guadalajara are not good places to study. Tlaquepaque way too small and Guadalajara extremely polluted. Check the air quality now and you will see. One positive was that Jorge was a nice man.
Kimberly García: Excellent school. The teachers are very professional; the classes are very dynamic.I recommend it.
Mayra Torres: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value
Camila Ruiz: Super good school, super accessible and I learned a lot!! The teacher Peter is the best!-Camila
Nayeli Renteria: An excellent atmosphere!!! Does not ask for anything from other schools
Eric Rolon: The best language school, the best teachers! Happy to be part of this school
Maria del Refugio Aguirre Franco: Very disappointed in the school, very bad experience with both the teacher and the director. I do not recommend it.
Star 01: Very good school "excellent and nice place"
Jeff Groce: Culturlingua provided us with the customized, flexible learning environment that we were looking for. This was one of our best Spanish immersion experiences while traveling and studying abroad in Mexico. We were able to greatly improve our Spanish-speaking skills and fluency within a two-week timeframe.The Culturlingua staff was focused on preparing and delivering classes that were individualized and tailored to our needs. Using creative methods, we were able to learn new concepts, review grammar and practice our conversation skills. After our classes, we’d use what we learned in every-day living situations such as shopping in the market, riding the bus, catching a taxi or dining in a restaurant.We highly recommend studying Spanish at Culturlingua in Tlaquepaque, Mexico. We discovered that we were able to gain confidence in speaking, reading and writing at our own pace and our own level!
