| Students liked about Centro Internacional de Idiomas, La Ceiba | |
| "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!" - Petra (25 years) | |
| "All of the teachers were extremely helpful and always made sure I was learning and enjoying myself." - Andrew (22 years) | |
| "The teachers did a great job of mixing things up so you never got bored of classes." - Louisa (21 years) | |
