Study Spanish In Mazatlan Mexico

The Centro de Idiomas Spanish Program in Mazatlán is more than 25 years old and has proven itself to be a success for participants who need to attain a working knowledge of conversational Spanish in a short period of time. Emphasis is on achieving oral proficiency through speaking and listening practice. Study programs with specialized vocabulary or cultural emphasis for business executives, medical personnel, teachers and other professionals are available. Many are repeat students or people who have been referred to us by others. Comments from former participants include "the teachers are professional, helpful, enthusiastic and very patient."

Mazatlán is unique among Mexican beach destinations in that it offers all the amenities of an international resort while still retaining the charm and hospitality of a typical Mexican town. The school is located in the old colonial part of Mazatlán.

A typical day in the life of a student can include a great variety of activities. We have Conversation Club every Friday night so that participants can meet some of the 300 Mexican adults who study English at the Center. When participants wish to meet local Mexicans in their own profession, we introduce them so that people in the medical field have opportunities to visit hospitals and clinics; teachers can visit schools; etc. Some participants do volunteer work with local organizations in order to practice their Spanish and get involved with the community.

We feel we have the highest quality homestay program in Mexico. However, if you'd like assistance with lodgings in one of our many fine hotels, apartments or condominiums, we'll be glad to help you with that.

The minimum study period is one week. The cost of a four-week, five-hour-a-day study period with a single-room homestay with a Mexican family (including three meals a day) is US $1,252. We'll be happy to give you more information on the costs or anything else you want to know about the Spanish language program.
