How Do You Choose A Spanish Language School In Guatemala?
Researching a Spanish school in Guatemala may overwhelm at first, given that there is a plethora of information on the hundreds of schools there are to choose from. (Antigua alone boasts about 75 different schools, according to Lonely Planet.) Decide how much time you plan to spend in Guatemala, as well as what your expectations are for learning the language, and picking a specific school becomes more manageable. Pick a city. Antigua (quaint and charming, but touristy) and Quetzaltenango (authentic, yet loud and large) are two of the most popular, but opportunities to study Spanish abound in other cities around Guatemala as well. This is where you’ll spend most of your time, so make sure your locale suits your interests. Pick a focus. Most schools specialize to stand apart; some emphasize volunteer opportunities, social justice, facilitating outdoor opportunities, etc. Learn how you can help the plight of indigenous Mayans seeking social equality or work to combat poverty in underfunde
