Student comments about "Intensive 20" at Plateros Spanish School
Louise
"Not enough conversation."
Spencer
"Just the right number of hours for us. "
Takahito
"I was lucky that I happened to be the only student, so I was able to study for a month in private lessons at a very reasonable price."
Lora
"The in-class presentation and practice of grammar was good. The conversation class was fun."
Kristen
"I really recommend doing an hour or two of private classes so you can focus on the topics you want. In my group classes we had a two hour focus on grammar and then two hours on conversation. There were 10 minute breaks between classes. The classes flew by! "
Andrea
"Everything went great! For me it was perfect!"
Franck
"Luckily I had private lessons because not many people were at the school."
Sara
"The teachers were incredibly nice and helped wherever they could! I learned so much more Spanish in a month of language course than in 2 years in school!"
Julie
"Make sure the toilet always has soap and paper!"
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.

Student comments about "Intensive 25" at Plateros Spanish School
Galina
"As I was the only somewhat advanced participant who had booked 5 hours per day, the school offered me 2 hours of group lessons and 2 hours of individual lessons as an alternative. This was perfectly fine and very effective. "
Robert
"5 hours a day is a lot...good for 2 weeks but by week 4 I was knackered (tired)"
Barbara
"Teachers, lessons, classes & homework exercises were all amazing! I feel like I learned a lot in a short time. Class material was very interesting and relevant! Lots of historical and cultural information too. I also enjoyed meeting the other students too. The school is super cute and comfortable! The location in El Centro was very convenient too. I wish that there would have been more social opportunities, but summer might be a hard time for that."

Ron
"I enjoyed the school so much, and the teachers, that I will go back. My original idea was to go to many different schools."

Student comments about "Intensive 25 PLUS" at Plateros Spanish School
Sandra
"The teacher for private lessons corrected my pronunciation and addressed my specific learning issues. It was serious learning but also encouraging even when I repeatedly made the same errors."
Marco
"I'm not one to give 5 stars, so I won't. But if I did, these people would get it. The school had wonderful educators, all of whom were well prepared and knowledgeable. I was a student for 5 weeks and was pleasantly surprised at how they were able to accommodate my needs, as well as keep the classes relevant and continually progressing thorough out the whole 5 weeks. My past schooling has been repetitive, due to the large number of short time students and the need to begin again every week. I would, and will, recommend this school for anyone wanting a solid educational and cultural experience. Cheers to everyone there.

“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.”
“There's nothing”
Insider tip: “Definitely explore the city after class and practice what you've learned.”

“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.”
Insider tip: “Best coffee-Cafe Tal and Conquistador; Alongdigas Museum; Las Minas/mines in Valenciana; the churches; sopa Azteca at ‘Frieda’s on Los Postitos, fresh fruits (especially prickly pear/‘tuna’), ice cream/sorbet on the street; GTO University; Don Quixote Museum; Estacion Gelato
I also recommend contacting an ecotour company called Cacomixtle (cacomixtle.com). They are very affordable and offer urban walking & food tours, hiking trips, mountain biking etc. My guide Susana spoke English but was willing to help me practice Spanish. She was also super interesting and knowledgeable!”

Quality of teaching / language progress: Teachers, lessons, classes & homework exercises were all amazing! I feel like I learned a lot in a short time. Class material was very interesting and relevant! Lots of historical and cultural information too. I also enjoyed meeting the other students too. The school is super cute and comfortable! The location in El Centro was very convenient too. I wish that there would have been more social opportunities, but summer might be a hard time for that.
Other comments I can’t wait to go back! This is an experience I will always remember!

“Its location in the center of Guanajuato and it was also one part of its weakness. I had asked many, many times, a host family in a house where there were not too many stairs. I thought I would die every day climbing the heights of the city, especially with a heart condition. It would have been very interesting if the school could have given a plan of the public transportation system.”
“No activities in three weeks.”
Insider tip: “Ask if there is public transportation.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: Not enough conversation.

“The location was ideal to get to know the city of Guanajuato and to be a part of its daily life.
The instructors were great at sparking conversation and asking questions to keep us talking. They spoke slowly and clearly without seeming to try to make it easier for us. They were interested and interesting. The whole experience was wonderful.”
“No orientation or introduction to the city. Instructors let many errors (grammar & punctuation) slide without correction. I know they wanted us to keep talking and not disturb our chain of thought too much, but we got sloppy and missed opportunities for learning. Classroom management was a bit weak at times:I was in several classes with only one other student, which was fantastic, but my fellow student dominated the time in some conversation classes I got thoroughly bored & frustrated … until I added private classes instead.”
Insider tip: “Take chances with the language and speak to people in shops and on the street. That’s where you really shed inhibitions. And 24-hour immersion really makes a difference.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: The 35Plus was described as a 7-hour combination of small group and 1on1 classes, but that was not actually the case. It was an excellent program, well worth the price, but I would recommend that one sign up for 5-6 classes and clearly request/include a private class or two to concentrate on applied grammar instruction each day … if one is serious about learning (and not on vacation with classes thrown in).
Other comments The director and instructors were all very interested in helping us thrive and in learning about our environments even as they taught us about history, culture, legends, and literature of Mexico. I am Very glad I was at Plateros.

“The level of instruction was absolutely superb. I enjoyed and I mean enjoyed, three hours of grammar review and two hours of history, Mexican politics, Mexican psychology and much more. Most of the instructors that I knew were very cultured, well educated people on a level that you would find anywhere else in the world.”
Insider tip: “As anywhere in Mexico, you literally need to watch your step. That means that you could easily trip over things, fall off ledges, and incur minor injuries. Europeans and North Americans would likely not find hand railings where one would expect but all you have to do is pay attention. Do not wander around on auto pilot and besides, you might miss interesting linguistic and cultural phenomena.”
Details of the review
Other comments The instructors are very flexible and accommodating. If one finds one to be in the wrong level of instruction, it is easy enough to be moved to another level.

“My teachers were amazing - especially Mali! I learned SOOO much in two short weeks! The location of the school was great as well.”
“The school is not always the most organized. One morning when I showed up my first two classes had been rescheduled. This is no fault of the teachers but rather a fault of the organization. There are also no afternoon activities or excursions offered by the school.”
Insider tip: “Take the street tour that is given by the students. Check out the Mummy museum. Get lost in the streets of Guanajuato!”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I really recommend doing an hour or two of private classes so you can focus on the topics you want. In my group classes we had a two hour focus on grammar and then two hours on conversation. There were 10 minute breaks between classes. The classes flew by!
Other comments The teacher's are for sure the best assets of the school!

Quality of teaching / language progress: As I was the only somewhat advanced participant who had booked 5 hours per day, the school offered me 2 hours of group lessons and 2 hours of individual lessons as an alternative. This was perfectly fine and very effective.

“Teachers were excellent. Miriam donated some time to share his special native Guanajuato culture with us.”
“Facilities were meager. Water bottle was empty one or two days. Lack of soap in bathroom a couple days. No extras like scheduled events, maps, notebooks.”
Insider tip: “In the winter, bring a heating pad. Try to get a good street map from the kiosk vendor at Jardin Union or perhaps a news stand. Good walking shoes a must. Check out the Cervantes/Quixote museum for music programmes. Don't miss the Alóndiga. Valenciana and a tour of a mine is worth the taxi fare.”

Student comments about Homestay
Louise
"The location of the house was particularly inappropriate for a person of 76 years and I had mentioned it over and over. Elena has been perfect and prepared the most delicious breakfast as well as the best salads in the city."
Takahito
"It would have been cooler and more comfortable with a mesh screen door. The room had to be closed off for mosquitoes.
The room was dark and it would have been nice to have a table lamp on a desk."
Lora
"I liked sharing a bit of conversation with my host(s). Gloria and Pepe."
Andrea
"The hosts are a super friendly and relaxed family. I immediately felt comfortable and accepted by them. The meals were typically Mexican, very varied and the host was always able to tell us something about the meals, ingredients etc.. And it tasted very good!"
KAREN
"I would have loved a tour of the house and access to fresh air in the upper levels. I did have full access to the first level, except the kitchen, so I spent all of the time I could outside among the people. That was actually quite satisfying and interesting, but it still felt odd. The host prepared breakfast and supper carefully and consistently, with good food, except it felt like living in a hotel.
The host was excellent at reinforcing language learning by conversing freely and correcting grammar, which I thoroughly appreciated … that was why I was there, after all. "
Sara
"I had the nicest host family you could ever ask for! Right from the start they made an effort to make me feel comfortable. Because we only spoke Spanish, I also learned a lot more."
Barbara
"I loved staying with Maria & her family! My room was comfortable and private. I had my own bathroom too! The food(breakfast and lunch) was delicious and healthy! The family was so kind & helpful! I also had a lot of opportunity to practice Spanish! I think that staying with a local family is an essential part of this experience!"
Julie
"Hortensia is very kind and makes sure that each resident has everything they need. She stays with us during meals to talk and it is much appreciated. We can see that it is a job she likes. The location is suitable for walks to get to know the area."

Questions and answers about Plateros Spanish School
Are there stairs at school?
“Yes, there are stairs at the school.”
Manuel García, Administration from Plateros Spanish School - May 16, 2024
You manage several language schools in several places in Mexico: Do you personally like the Plateros School? Why?
“- The classes are very small with a maximum of 5 students. Other schools have 8-10 students on average. You'll make faster progress because the lessons can be designed much more individually.
- Cultural city tour included in the welcome package.
- Welcome party.
- Accommodation in host families was rated very well (4.8/5.0)
- Guanajuato is one of our students' favorite destinations”

How many hours do you realistically need in the afternoon to prepare the day's lessons?
“I think you should get by with 1 hour of follow-up and homework. It depends on your motivation, and how much you want to learn or explore the city.”
Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 27, 2024
What is the maximum number of students per class in the 25-lesson intensive course at Plateros Spanish School?
“Maximum: 5 / Average: 4 - This is a super small class!”
Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 27, 2024
What are the cancellation conditions in an emergency?
“Free cancellation of lessons is currently possible up to 14 days before the start of the course. Free change 10 days in advance. If you cannot come at short notice, then it may make sense to take out travel cancellation insurance. Many credit card providers have this in their programme if you pay with a credit card. You could investigate that.”
Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 27, 2024
Is it okay for the host family if a complete Spanish beginner stays with them? I would try to involve myself in a conversation in some way.
“Yes, of course, it's best to jump straight into the deep end. The families have experience with this and this is the quickest way to learn Spanish. If things really don't go any further for language reasons, there are always English or translation services on the Internet.”
Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 27, 2024
I am interested in staying in a host family with breakfast only. How do most others do it? I thought that maybe we would meet up with the other students in the city in the evening. Is that so, or do most people stay with their host families in the evenings?
“It's actually a mix. The advantage of half board is that you have even more contact points to practice your Spanish because some meals are eaten with the family. Others like to eat out in the evening and prefer just breakfast. If you book a host family, I most often recommend half board. If you want to go out in the evening, you can either do it before/after dinner or you can talk to the family if you don't come to dinner. Sometimes you can get a packed lunch for the day instead. That depends on the family.”
Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 27, 2024
I'm traveling from Mexico City. What is the best connection?
“Take a look at Rome2Rio. There is a good initial overview of the connections and I can ask the school for more details.”
Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 27, 2024
The invoice issued by the school indicates the amount in U.S. dollars. Can I pay the balance to the school in Mexican pesos via PayPal?
“Yes, it is possible to make payments to Plateros Spanish School in Mexican Pesos.”
Andy Fukutome, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 16, 2023
If I stay with a host family, is the family randomly selected?
“The school will find a host family to match your requirements (pets, smoking/non-smoking, special diets, etc.).”
Andy Fukutome, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 16, 2023
What time is the check-in and the check-out at the accommodation?
“The check-in is on Sunday before your course begins at 12:00 or later, and the check-out is on Saturday after your last day of class between 12:00-13:00.”
Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 03, 2023
I would like to take the DELE exam.
“Plateros Spanish School can prepare you for the DELE exam, but it is not an official exam center. If you check the website of the Instituto Cervantes, you can see which official centers are in Guanajuato.”
Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 07, 2022
What are 20 lessons per week- is that in hours?
“20 lessons per week are equal to 16.6 hours of study. Each lesson is 50 minutes long.”
Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 14, 2022
Could you please tell me if the school belongs to The National Education System?
“The schools accredited by the National Education System are the schools that can offer university credits and that's not our case.
In general, the language schools are part of the "Turismo Idiomático" and are all under the supervision of the "Secretaria de Hacienda".”

FAQ about Plateros Spanish School, Guanajuato
We are ready to come for a week and do the Senior's course with cooking, salsa and cultural studies. Can you please tell me what kind of things we would be cooking?
“The Plateros Spanish School in Guanajuato, Mexico offers a Seniors Programme that combines Spanish lessons with a leisure programme, including a cooking class. The dishes taught in the cooking class are not specified, but the classes likely focus on traditional Mexican cuisine due to the school's location. During the course inscription we will be happy to provide a detailed syllabus or overview, which could potentially include enchiladas, tamales, chiles rellenos, and various types of salsa.”

All participants in this course are placed in a group that most accurately corresponds with their current ability level, meaning that they will always feel appropriately challenged throughout the duration of the course. Equal focus is given to grammar, communication skills and vocabulary while making Mexican culture a constant theme of the lessons. Learning about Mexican culture while you learn Spanish is a great way to speed up and enrich your learning.
Although classes are taken in groups, the school promises participants that they will receive individualised support from their teaching staff.
