Q&A - Questions about Spanish courses and schools in Cuba

I would like to know if you offer Portuguese courses in Cuba.

“We do not currently (2024) work with any Portuguese language schools in Cuba, but we do work with Portuguese language schools in Portugal and Brazil. If you are interested in any of these destinations, please contact us.”

If I have seen this correctly, we need the pink tourist card to enter Cuba because we are coming from Miami. Our ESTA is still valid. Can we buy the tourist card at the check-in counter?

“A special pink tourist card is required for air travel from the USA to Cuba. You can get this directly at the airport in the USA or online at cubavisa.net.

You can also apply for it at the consulate. It must be collected in person at the airport and paid for in cash (bank transfer not possible).

My daughter is not 18 years old yet, can we book a Spanish programme for her in Havana?

“The minimum required age to book a Spanish programme in Havana is 18 years old.”

Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 15, 2022

When courses start on Sundays, does that mean lessons are on a Sunday? Normally, in most other schools, lessons start on Monday.
I will arrive in Havana on a Sunday. Would that still work?

“The lessons take place on weekdays, from Monday to Friday, and accommodation is typically booked from the Sunday before your course begins until the Saturday after your last day of class.”

Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 24, 2022

Are there schools that offer a homestay that is good for a high school student?

“For students from 18 years old and above, our partner schools in Santiago de Cuba and in Havana can offer a Spanish programme including homestay accommodation.”

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about Spanish courses in Cuba

What is the best money to spend in Cuba? Dollars/local currency? And is card use widespread? ATMs, card terminals in shops, restaurants etc?

“Regarding money, at this time the 'official' exchange rate when using cards and ATM machines is not very good so the schools recommend you bring cash USD or EUR for your personal spending to get best value. They will show you where/how to change money during your 'welcome camino' (this is for true for the school Corazon Cuba) as well as other practical stuff such as how to get online and nice places bars, cafes etc to enjoy during your free time.”

What are casas particulares in Cuba?

These guesthouses offer travellers the chance to stay in authentic accommodation that is often more affordable than traditional hotels. Casas particulares are often a popular option for travellers who want a more immersive and authentic experience of the local culture.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.

The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.

I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.

You're just great, doing a fantastic job. I'll be back in a couple of weeks and be booking my next stay abroad with you again (as always).

I was really surprised with your assistance to me, the service was amazing, following me on every step, thank you!

The service received has been fantastic. All doubts and issues were solved quickly and effectively. An exceptional service.

Your service was excellent . You helped me to choose exactly the right course for me .

I had excellent support with the school choice and booking. I was grateful knowing that if a problem arose, I had someone to liaise with the school and sort it out. Many thanks

Your service was excellent, really following up and holding my hand.! My older step-brother used your service a few years ago to study Spanish in Salamanca and Granada and we found LanguageCourse.Net so helpful then as well.

I genuinely rate the enrolment service five stars as it exceeded my expectations - everything that was booked worked out flawlessly, and queries were responded to with minimal delay. Ana Carolina was great - thanks!

Everything was perfect. Fast and efficient help. Kindness and support from start to finish. Thanks a lot!

Excellent support. In particular, Ana Carolina is amazing and goes out of her way to help. I have called upon Ana in the past and will do so in the future. I am genuinely grateful. Thank you Ana!

Sabine was FANTASTIC! Very complete communication all along the process!

Ana Carolina dos Santos was amazing. Always kind and available, she solved all my doubts.

Sawsan was amazing throughout the booking process. Was extremely helpful and attentive and professional.

Just keep up the good work. The organization is excellent, so that even less experienced travellers would feel ok to come to China. I also felt really good in the host family, they were really great!
