Q&A - Questions about Spanish courses and schools in Colombia

  • At the moment (2024) we do not collaborate with any Spanish school in Cali, but we do collaborate in other destinations in Colombia, for example in Bogotá, Cartagena and Medellín. You can find all the information on our website.
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 07, 2024
  • Online courses are not our speciality, but we do have these on offer, check them out under 'Course types > live online courses'. Let us know if you find any interesting there.
    Our speciality is on-site language travels to schools.

    What is the time zone you want lessons in? Because that's important to coordinate properly.
    Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 29, 2024
  • It's relatively easy to get a student visa in Colombia. In fact, it's much easier than a work visa. And, unlike a tourist visa, you can stay longer than six months in Colombia if you enroll in a course that's longer than six months.
    Huilin Dai, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 09, 2024
  • Currently, at the time of writing this, we do not work with any schools in Cali, but we do work with schools in other cities in Colombia such as Medellin or Bogota.
    There are no group courses for conversation only, so the best option in your case is to book private classes.
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 15, 2022
  • The school Babel International Language Institute in Cartagena can organize a family programme for you. Spanish lessons can be organized in groups or on an individual basis - depending on your current Spanish level. For the extra activities, it's possible to organize Salsa lessons, a day at the beach, a fruit tasting, a street food tour, etc.
    It's also possible to organize Island hopping, scuba diving, snorkeling, and a day tour to a mountain town 2 hours from Cartagena.
