Travel and Learn Spanish in Mexico
A tourist can learn Spanish while enjoying a vacation in Mexico, as you can make it a study tour in addition to it being a vacation.
The Spanish learnt thus is not easily forgotten. You get an opportunity to speak Spanish with the natives and you learn it in its original accent. You can either learn it on your own by picking up slang from the natives, who may be accompanying you as a driver, attendant or room service staff, or you can go and stay with a Mexican Family. This way you learn Spanish from the natives who provide a tourist with accommodation as well as teach him Spanish. Spanish Language Schools like OLE, arrange Mexican families who are interested in teaching their tenants Spanish. The tourists, by living in such homes can learn Spanish from professionals. Students too, by living with Mexican families, not only learn Spanish but also their customs, and thereby learn to appreciate their culture. These schools also provide their students with extra curricular activities, which also are designed in such a manner so that they improve a student’s knowledge of Spanish and Mexican culture. These families rent out their rooms for US$ 150 for a private room for one week, and US$ 130 for a shared room for the same period. These prices are for everyone above the age of four. If a student does not want to lodge with a Mexican family, OLE arranges whatever kind of accommodation a student prefers. Furnished apartments and houses are also available on rent. The rent ranges between US$ 450.00 and US$1500.00. Tourists who plan to stay in Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo can also learn Spanish by staying at Mexican Homes arranged by Spanish Language Schools. Alternatively, they can stay at a place of their own choice and learn Spanish by becoming day scholars and by attending all the co-curricular activities arranged by such schools. We recommend Hotel Villa Mexicana, which is located between these two cities and every attraction could be reached by foot. |
