After trying different
Spanish Schools in Guatemala I found out that Minerva School
is unbeatable. They really take care of you, they organize a
lot of trips and cultural events and you get a really good
teacher. So you will learn a lot and at the same time enjoy
yourself like in holidays - like I did!

Nachdem ich verschiedene Spanischschulen in ganz Guatemala
durchprobiert habe, kann ich Euch nur waermstens die Minerva
Spanischschule in Xela empfehlen! Dort bemueht man sich
wirklich sehr um die Schueler, es werden viele Ausfluege und
kulturelle
Veranstaltungen oder Diskussionen angeboten und der
Spanischunterricht hat ein sehr hohes Niveau. Ich hab in den 3
Wochen die ich dort verbracht hab ne Menge gelernt -
sowohl sprachlich als auch ueber die Kultur und
Politik Guatemalas, und habe die Zeit dort sehr genossen!

The Escuela Minerva is
one of the best Spanish Schools in Xela. The teachers
affiliated with it are all charming and very knowledgeable.
All the students who were there when I was there felt welcomed
into the Minerva family. Even students who were only
studying for 2 or 3 weeks developed real and rewarding
friendships with their teachers. The one on one
education is the best way to learn Spanish.
Additionally, all the host families associated with the school
are of sterling quality. They go out of their way to have
conversations with their students - which is why my Spanish
went from non-existent to very competent in one
month. The school is currently undergoing renovations so
that it will be an even more pleasant facility soon. It
is located in a beautiful neighborhood very close to the main
downtown area of Xela. Also,
students can take weekly trips to interesting places nearby
and participate in stimulating conversations about the
Guatemalan economy, Mayan religion, etc. I highly
recommend the school to anyone considering spending some time
in Xela. I will be happy to answer more questions
at bidisha.banerjee@yale.edu.

The Escuela Minerva was a
fantastic experience for me. I enjoyed the individual
attention that the teachers give the students, and feel that I
significantly improved my Spanish language abilities.
The lectures presented by Julio and the excursions to other
towns and regions within Guatemala (which were arranged and
led by Julio) were excellent. In addition to being a
good way to increase one's knowledge of the country and its
customs, it is also a very good way to travel within Guatemala
in a safe and efficient manner. Finally, I valued living
with a Guatemalan family, as this is really the only way to
fully understand and appreciate the daily customs of the
culture. To emphasize how I enjoyed my time in
Guatemala, I have returned again, in large part to see Julio
again.

The Escuela Minerva
offers a fantastic opportunity to learn Spanish. The
combination of intensive teaching with living in a local
family an doing trips on the weekends is simply the best you
can get. And the price is very reasonable. The Escuela Minerva
is different from other schools because it is smaller, more
familiar and more engaged, which makes it easier to learn
Spanish and get to know people. I absolutely enjoyed my stay!

Auf Deutsch: Die Escuela Minerva ist der beste Platz der Welt
um Spanisch zu lernen. Die Kombination von
Intensivunterricht mit der Unterbringung in einer Familie und
Wochenendexkursionen ist einfach fantastisch. Und der Preis
dafuer ist sehr moderat. Die Escuela Minerva unterscheidet
sich von anderen Spanischschulen dadurch, dass sie kleiner, familiaerer und engagierter ist, das macht das
Spanischlernen und Leute kennenlernen noch einfacher. Ich habe
meinen Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
