Most recent student reviews of language schools in Oaxaca
Great staff, lessons were hard (which is fine).
No specific arrangements were made for me to be taken to the airport so I was picked up by a taxi who asked for payment after I paid $70 for pre-arranged transport. That made me feel very uncomfortable.
