The friendliness, informality, flexibility and competence with which the teaching and accommodation were organised, alongside the excellent tuition I received from my Argentinian teacher (Matías)

Quality of teaching / language progress: I had two hours of one-on-one conversation classes with an excellent teacher, and I found them very useful.
Other comments I am particularly grateful to the school management for giving me additional access to the accommodation both before and after my actual tuition dates.

FAQ about Centro de Enseñanza de Español La Herradura, Punta del Este

  • The teachers have plenty of experience in having students of all ages and adapting the content and rhythm of the class to students of all ages, although the average ago of the students in the school is 50 years old.
    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.
