I have learned so much at Xinabajul Spanish School. I had never studied Spanish ever before and this experience has been wonderful. I came here with the intention of staying for a few weeks but I ended up staying for a month and a half. The teachers here are very friendly and you can tell how much experience they have had teaching this language. I have studied with four different teachers, Sheny, Otto (who are the directors of the school) and Erwin and Myrna. They all have years of teaching experience and although they each have differences in their teaching styles they are all excellent. I have had a good time biking and playing soccer with Otto. During the weekends I have explored various areas around Huehuetenango like Todos Santos and Laguna Magdalena. Overall it has been a great experience.

This was my first experience with studying at a Spanish School in a Spanish-speaking country. I had a few years of Spanish classes in high school and I traveled to Mexico and Costa Rica, but I never felt secure in my language skills. In just 2 months here I have learned so much more than my classes and travels combined. My level of confidence has greatly increased at this school. For me, I found the perfect balance of structured lessons in writing, verb forms and grammar along with practical conversation in and outside of classes. I’ve also really appreciated the friendly, familial and even comical atmosphere that I have found here at Xinabajul. I realized that you can learn a lot of Spanish through jokes! I had so much fun going on bike rides in the mountains and visiting surrounding towns, all with their own unique flavors. In addition to my successful experience at the school, I love the family that I stayed with. They really made me feel so welcome and comfortable. I’ve made some very special friends at my home here. Also, I feel satisfied with the world perspective I have gained here in getting to know the genuine culture of this area. ¡Gracias Xinabajul!
