Student comments about "Standard Course" at Centro Catalina
Marcelo
"A modular course covering current topics in Colombian culture, politics, and the environment"
Lucie
"I liked the small groups. There were never more than 5 students in the class and it was perfect. "

Lars
"It was a pleasant class mix"
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

4.0
“I had booked two weeks and the second week with Sebastian was really good. I also booked private lessons and got Lilli as a teacher. She responded straight away to my wish to use local topics for the lessons. I really enjoyed that. With one exception, the other staff members were very friendly and helpful.”
“The first week was frankly bad and this was due to the unprofessional teacher.”

“All the staff at the school, whether in reception, administration or the teachers, are super friendly and welcoming. Randy in administration was very helpful with any questions or small problems I had. Our teacher Cristina was the best. Very engaged and motivating. You can tell she loves her job.”
“The air conditioning in the classrooms was badly regulated. It was either too cold or too hot.
Cristina was absent on my last day of class. Her replacement, Edgar, was not up to the job. I think he lacks teaching experience.”
Insider tip: “You have to take part in the activities organised by the school. They're interesting and give you a chance to meet other students.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I liked the small groups. There were never more than 5 students in the class and it was perfect.
Other comments Super good school. I recommend.

“The location of the school (in the historic centre) is great, the entire staff is extremely helpful and responds very quickly (emails etc.) even outside of office hours. The teachers are flexible in their approach to the students, but always consistently pursue the learning objective.”
“Only mini remarks (German complaining): The WiFi in the school is very weak in some places (in the break area it often breaks down, in some classrooms it doesn't work at all). There is no water dispenser.”

“What I liked most was the teachers' attention, especially from Prof. Wilson and Prof Julieth, who were always available to teach me not only grammar but aspects of culture, politics, religion, history, geography, and cuisine of Cartagena de Indias.”

“The mood was relaxed. The staff and teachers of the language school were kind. We received a high-quality morning snack.
Marcela is a good language teacher.”
“1) My opinion is that if a language school is in the cities of Colombia, it should have a Colombian or Spanish-American character. Or are there no study materials for this?? If I wanted to learn Iberian Spanish, I wouldn't fly across the ocean.
2) It's a strange way that most of the lessons are spent with the students completing worksheets while the teacher has nothing to do. (I object to this not in relation to my teacher, but in general.)
3. Some of the photocopied sheets may have been photocopies, which made them difficult to read. There was also some paper that, in addition to that, was even very small print.”

“The teachers do their best to accommodate everyone in the class. They are always friendly, courteous, helpful and unflappable. Very enjoyable.”
“That is difficult to specify. I probably would have expected more efficiency in less time (typical German), a kind of crash course: e.g. the 20 most important verbs to have a conversation in the present, past and future, right at the beginning. And then practise with them. In the end, however, everything worked out because I had booked 3 weeks and everything important was covered at the end. Now it's just a matter of practising!”

“Loose sheets with exercises - no overview of what has been learned and what is still missing.”
Insider tip: “It must be pointed out to the course participants that the pronunciation of the locals in Cartagena is unclear. It is not due to their own understanding!”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Private lessons for beginners are very demanding. Last teacher repeated grammar, which was great. Two months of private lessons at one location was too long for me personally.
Other comments Maria at reception is super helpful and friendly. She does everything to help and is boundlessly patient. Deserves special praise.

“Conversation, dealing with students, getting to know other students, afternoon / evening activities”
Insider tip: “As a complete beginner, 1 week is definitely not enough. It's too overwhelming. I had a good A2 / 2 level and would have liked to stay for at least a month because it's a lot of fun and although the lessons are really very good, it just takes time to learn a new language properly. So bring a lot of time. Nevertheless (if you already have a foundation) I would recommend a stay in Murzen (maybe with additional private lessons in the afternoon) because it's a lot of fun!”

"As far as the family was concerned, the school didn't have the right contact details because the family had moved 2 or 3 months before my arrival. What's more, my room wasn't air-conditioned. After 10 of my 23 days with the family, the lady finally placed me in her son's air-conditioned room. "

Questions and answers about Centro Catalina
- Can I combine the school's locations in Cartagena and Medellín during my language study trip?“Yes, it's totally possible to combine the 2 cities. We would divide the price for the registration fee for each city. ”María, Administration from Centro Catalina, Cartagena - Apr 17, 2023
- I am a teacher and will be taking certification exams to teach Spanish when I return to the US. I was wondering what the best option would be to help me prepare for those exams.“A combination of group classes and private lessons is a good choice for you. In a group with other students, you will study the Spanish language in general, and the private lessons will be tailored to your needs. In addition, you will focus on topics related to your exam certification.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 13, 2023
