Questions and answers about Centro de Enseñanza de Español La Herradura
Is it possible to organise a transfer from Montevideo airport to Punta del Este through the school?
FAQ about Centro de Enseñanza de Español La Herradura, Punta del Este
I am interested in studying Spanish and vacationing in Uruguay. I am 68 years old and would like to know if you have a programme that would suit me.
I would recommend to you the programme called "Spanish Language Course for 60+". This is a lower-intensity course aimed at students who prefer to take their time and wish to balance their Spanish studies with cultural immersion. Every day from Monday to Friday, there will be two group lessons, covering both grammar and conversation, and one private lesson, individually adapted to each student's specific needs. The cultural activity will be with one of the teachers or other staff member, once a week.”
