The quality of the lessons was good with a good teacher. Especially very practical with an emphasis on talking and listening!
The classrooms echo quite a bit, so it is sometimes difficult to understand.

The teacher I had and the director IH Oaxaca couldn't have been better; they were helpful, friendly, and very encouraging. The location was great and the little cafe in the courtyard served a very nice cappuccino.

It is an architectural gem with natural elegance in every corner, colonial building, museum, pre-Columbian ruins and the many brilliant baroque churches that are to be found at every turn. All of this coupled with its majestic churches and refined plazas have deservedly earned it a Unesco World Heritage badge. And if that's not enough to get you planning your trip already, fluorescent lagoons, lush mountains, culture, crafts, gastronomy, folklore, fiestas and many more great experiences should definitely win you over.

Q&A - Questions and answers about Oaxaca

I have 2 kids ages 10 and 14...Do you offer any Spanish classes for kids for 2-4 weeks in the summer?
“In Oaxaca, International House offers private lessons for students under 16. A methodology with a play-based approach is used to introduce them to the language with a focus on having fun while learning.”
Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 22, 2022
We are very interested in booking the Spanish for Families but I am curious about what my daughter will be doing when I am in classes. Will she be immersed in Spanish as well but doing some fun things? Or will she be in a classroom setting? Will she be supported one-on-one? Will my instruction be one-on-one?
“The program Spanish for Family includes 20 group lessons for an adult student and 20 private lessons for a child. For children, individual lessons with a play-based approach are used to introduce them to the language with a focus on having fun while learning.”
