My teacher, Mali, was careful to build a good foundation. She used several techniques to explain and reinforce concepts. I am at home now and taking tutoring with her online.

Personalized teaching in small groups
The teacher, Mari, was a friendly person who laughed a lot. Every Friday we practiced conversation over breakfast at a restaurant with a great view, which was also very enjoyable.

The teachers at Plateros Spanish School are super nice and know their job. They know what's important and how to teach you best. And yet they all have their own style. I was thrilled! You could always discuss the pace with them, arrange repetitions or clarify questions. Many thanks to Roman, Mali, Miriam and Ismael! I feel very well equipped with the basics and can build on it on my travels.

Not clear test per level. They do not provide books or exercise book.
You just catch up with the other students when you arrive.

Lessons concentrate too much on grammar and reading/writing and no enough on speaking fluency and pronunciation. Teachers speak too fast using vocabulary and tenses that were never taught, and if students do not understand, they simply say it in English, rather that repeating it slower or writing it on the board. Very frustrating.

Too many positive aspects! The teachers were talented, helpful, interesting and friendly! The classes were fun and relevant- never boring or long. I always felt engaged and was able to work on what I needed/wanted. Homework and in class exercises provided lots of practice! Lots of individual attention. I also loved the setting- so beautiful and homey. The location in El Centro is amazing too.
I can’t wait to go back! This is an experience I will always remember!

Q&A - Questions and answers about Guanajuato
- Are there any Spanish courses for medical professionals in Guanajuato?“Yes, at the moment we partner with 2 schools which offer Spanish for medical professionals - Spanish Experience Centre and Plateros Spanish School.”Gosia Mazur, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 08, 2024I was wondering about the availability of classes for adults year-round or on specific dates. Could you please let me know?“In Guanajuato, schools are open year-round and students of all levels can start on any Monday. Let us know what your preferred dates are and we can send you more information.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 23, 2023I have 2 Mexican/American daughters aged 14 and 16 currently taking advanced Spanish, that need to improve their conversational fluency. Would you have availability and appropriate courses for them?“Yes, we can offer group lessons and private lessons for both of them. The combination of group and individual lessons is highly recommended. Individual lessons will encourage them to actively speak the language and will offer them the opportunity to discuss individual problems and weaknesses.”Manuel García, Admissions Team from Plateros Spanish School - Nov 23, 2022I am a student studying Spanish in Japan, and I am thinking of attending a Spanish programme in Guanajuato. Which is more economical: living in an apartment booked through a language school or staying in a local flat found on my own?“It is possible to make your own accommodation arrangements and book only a course using our service.
There is a wide variety of accommodations in the local area, and some of them are cheaper than those arranged by the school.
However, please be aware that the areas where accommodation is inexpensive are often not the safest places to stay.
If you are familiar with Guanajuato, that is fine, but if you are unfamiliar with the area, it would be very risky to look for an apartment.
Also, since your planned stay in Guanajuato is not long (8 weeks), it would be safer for you to have your accommodation arranged by the school.”Andy Fukutome, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 18, 2022FAQ about courses in Guanajuato
