Q&A - Questions about Spanish courses and schools in Ecuador
We are two people and we want to take one week's class including accommodation in Macas, Ecuador.
“In Macas, Ecuador, Instituto Superior de Español offers a Spanish Programme with an Indigenous Family Stay in the Amazon Jungle. This programme takes place in an authentic Shuar Indigenous community. You will experience their way of living and have very limited access to technology. Facilities are shared and food will be prepared from what nature produces.”

I can book a 1-week course only. Which would you recommend the 20 hours of group lessons or a mix of group and private lessons?
“Considering that you have a 1-week only, the combination of group + private lessons is always a great idea. In a group, students study all aspects of the language. Private, one-to-one lessons allow the student to focus on the missing links in their language acquisition or on a particular subject or vocabulary that they need.”

I am in Ecuador and I need to learn basic Spanish to be able to communicate properly with the locals. What would be the fastest way to learn this?
“In this case, we can recommend you private lessons because you can benefit from the fastest results.
Private lessons allow the student to focus on the missing links in their language acquisition or on a particular subject or vocabulary that they need for any reason.”
