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.
