Additional information
Positive aspects of school
I felt that the experience was amazing. I liked the flexibility of the teacher to provide instruction at my pace and level. His patience was exceptional, and made it feel comfortable for me to take learning risks.
Other comments
I plan on returning to expand my knowledge.
City/place
La Ceiba was an outstanding place to learn. The people were kind and the town was big enough to have everything that anyone could want. In addition La Ceiba is small enough that it was safe, friendly, and easy to navigate.
Quality of teaching / language progress
It was a great start....
Accommodation
I felt the homestay was outstanding. Gloria could not have been any nicer to me and made me feel immediately welcomed.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Don't expect the school to have dictionaries in all the languages, come prepared with a dictionary and some other little studying books in order to improve your Spanish as quickly as possible.
Other comments
WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST LANGUAGE SCHOOL I EVER ATTENDED IN MY LONG EXPERIENCE WITH LANGUAGE COURSES. Everything was amazing, from the Host family to the individual lessons, and from the City (La Ceiba) to Honduras in general as (a wonderful) country to visit. Before I left Switzerland to attend this language course, everybody in my home country was telling me how dangerous Honduras can be. The truth is that during my month in La Ceiba, no one stole even a single cent from me. I used to walk alone, 45 minutes each day, from my accommodation to the beach and nothing happened to me. Of course, it is better to avoid walking alone at night, but otherwise, Honduras is very safe. Regarding the Spanish lessons, I really appreciated that they were private lessons and the teachers were very competent. But don't expect the school to have dictionaries in all languages, come prepared with a dictionary and some other little studying books, in order to improve your Spanish as quickly as possible. Avoid booking a Spanish course with the other Spanish School in la Ceiba. I met some very unhappy international students in La Ceiba, who attended the other school and who had been cheated. If you don't have the time and the money to travel to Honduras, or if you want to continue to improve your Spanish skills after you have attended the school, the very prepared teachers of the Centro Internacional de Idiomas also offer Skype lessons.

The school felt like a second home. It was a comforting place to go in a foreign country. The teachers are great, and they keep classes exciting with games and conversation. Manuel, the program director, helped us out with all the difficult tasks one has to do when arriving somewhere new. It was an incredible relief having someone there when I was having bank problems or couldn't find any scrubs for volunteering in the hospital. Thanks Manuel!

It would have been more beneficial for me to have a host family who didn't speak English, so that's something for future students to keep in mind.

The Jungle River Lodge option is worth the extra bucks, but my teacher had a struggle going back and forth from the city to the lodge every day. Manuel was reevaluating that option when I last talked to him.

the school doesn´t offer studying material except for some copies. so it is necessary to come prepared (dictonary, grammarbook) to la Ceiba. For all those who are not english native speakers it's more difficult to learn spanish because the school teach only in english.

This was an excellent school with fabulous teachers and administrator. The family was superb with an amazingly beautiful house. I would highly recommend this school because of the city, the proximity to so many things to do, the profesionalism of the teachers, and the overall program of the school in general. Thanks Manual!
