Immersion. The key to learning and understanding a language lies in your experience and the degree that you are able to delve into the culture. At Academia Latinoamericana de Español, you will find yourself swiftly learning Spanish amidst friendly Ecuadorians and the mix of Spanish and indigenous history that defines Quito. Regardless of your level of proficiency, students will find a program that suits their needs, goals and learning styles. Classes are 60-minutes in length for four hours a day. The maximum number of students per class is four and students will learn using the four language skills: listening, grammar, oral and written comprehension. Students will be well taken care of in their homestay by native, middle-class families who live no further than a ten minute bus ride from the school. The homestay is a great opportunity to learn about Ecuadorian customs and their way of life.

Why Quito? Located 2,800 meters above sea level, Quito is a city of sun and sky surrounded by mountains. There are three snow-capped volcanoes in view on the clearest days. With over a million people, Quito is a big city that feels small and with lots to offer culturally. Movies, theater, symphonic concerts, folk music clubs, book stores, discotecas, salsotecas, museums, art galleries, antique stores, arts and crafts stores, tourist attractions and good food abound. There are even jazz bars, country and western bars, and sports bars.

Programs range from $275 - $470 per week depending on the course that is chosen. Additionally, there are volunteer programs, activities and other arrangements that can be made to enhance the students’ stay.
