Student opinions about Escuela Bellavista, Santiago

Liked
Classes and teachers were a lot of fun! Focused on grammar, but because of the group size (four people) and level (intermediate) we also got to practise talking quite a lot and could do everything in Spanish, without translating. I think one of the students was frustrated though (or I'd be if I were him) because he had been at the school for several weeks already and studied at the same level the same material already once. This affected the others too, to some extent at least, there was pressure to advance and not perhaps go so deep into things that were unclear. The number of activities was a really nice bonus!

They do a great job of gauging your skills and matching you with a curriculum that works for you. It's obvious they take a personal interest your effort to learn Spanish to make sure you get the most out of your classes. I did a couple weeks of group courses and took a few private lessons as well. I highly recommend the private lessons--they are worth the additional expense because you get more practice and can focus on the things you need to improve most.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss Take the time to practice with your classmates during breaks. It goes a long way!

It was a wonderful school :-) The atmosphere was quite extraordinary. The administrator and all the teachers were very friendly, efficient and professional - and they all appeared to be friends between them. It seemed like we were all one happy family. Also, the afternoon and night activities (city walk, salsa lesson, making pisco sour, conversation class) were great. Also, the teaching material was good. I will probably go there again.

Quality of teaching / language progress: We had two teachers, which was exceptional but worked well. The group was 3 to 4 students, which was a good size. On our course everybody spoke almost exclusively Spanish, which, according to my observations, is rare.
Other comments A very good school to be highly recommended!

Small classes, committed teachers, own material (booklet with current grammar and vocabulary), regular homework, systematic structure, extra conversation on Monday, a different activity every afternoon, interesting excursions at the weekend, very individual farewells in class, bank holidays were made up for - perfect for me, I would choose the school again.
Disliked
The percentage of Germans is very high, but it didn't bother me. That is not a fault of the school. Besides, there were enough other participants to talk to.

The teachers were really friendly and very knowledgeable. I felt like I learnt a lot in a very short time. The classes were relaxed and fun and the small number of students meant that you felt comfortable participating in class and that you got enough individual attention.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss It's good to know the very basics before commencing classes (even if you are starting in the most basic class) such as numbers, as there is a little bit of assumed knowledge and/or some things not covered in the classes (nor should they be as I think that would be a waste of time)

Bellavista School was fantastic! I learned a lot in Spanish, and I had many opportunities to talk with the teachers and students at the school. The school conducts weekly tours of different neighborhoods in Santiago. I liked it a lot!

I think the program was not as structured and demanding as I would have liked. We spent too much time on the same few grammar notions. Also, I thought there would be an evaluation test upon arriving but I was automatically put into a beginner’s class. I had to show what I had done the previous week in another school to be reassigned to a stronger class. Even then, I did not learn much during the week (academically speaking) but I liked the teachers, the group and the discussions so much that I appreciated the experience and really enjoyed my week at Bellavista.

Other comments The only negative point was the organization. Not the classes, they were excellent, but there was someone to pick me up from the airport, but did not know where to bring me!! But in the end everything worked out fine.

Other comments I love Santiago a lot, so I came already back again. The quality of the school is very good, you learn a lot, and you can practice also in the afternoon, they have loads of things going on for free like extra grammar lessons, excursions etc. For me the best school in South America, I also was in schools in Peru and Argentina, but Bellavista hits the top!
