- As a student in Applied
Linguistics at Teacher College, Columbia University, New York City, I was
looking for a language school which would strike a good balance between a
focus on speaking and grammar. Amigos del Sol has been professional, linguistically
accurate, and highly flexible.
I highly recommend it! - Jonathan Bissell jonathanbissell@hotmail.com
- I took a week of survival
spanish and felt that the week was well worth it. It helped my traveling around
Mexico and my interaction with locals. The classes were small, personal and
well organized. I would highly recommend Amigos de Sol for Spanish classes.

- The first impression I
got from Amigos del Sol was that it was rather a small community than a real
school. So I felt like I was always being put into the right level of classes
which I individually needed. The very close contact and support the different
teachers are able to give to the students made this possible. Now that I have
been here almost 3 months, I see that thereīs also been a lot of structure
behind this whole thing, which has had me talking this language quite well
after only a short time, even though I didnīt attend very frequently.... The
teachers always tried to make learning as practical and useful as possible.
And once again, thanks to the ones who helped me get to know even more about
whatīs going on in Oaxaca. - Mariana Peer, Germany.
- When I went to Amigos del
Sol, I was the only one at my level, so I had the class with the teacher and
I could study at my own pace. I really felt my level was growing up day by
day. Itīs so fun. The school is like my home, all the teachers are friendly,
kind and hard worker. After travel for several months around Mexico, Iīm coming
back and Iīm studying with them again. Iīm sure Iīll be able to learn more
day by day.... Maya P. Sato, Japan.
- In my search among the
multitude of schools in the Oaxaca area, I had a tough choice to make. I was
looking for the individual choice and I found it. Attention to the individual
needs is what I got. Thanks. - George Bromley, Berlin,
Germany.
- Amigos del Sol is a terrific
place to learn Spanish. The teachers are very friendly and personalized my
studies to fit my needs - Joey Levine.
- "I canīt imagine nicer,
more accomodating teachers or a more beautiful setting in which to study Spanish
than in Oaxaca at Amigos del Sol." - Jim Martin - Ashland,
Oregon.
- Oaxaca is a city without
compare...great food and scenery...and a great place to study Spanish. My
wife and I were impressed by Amigoīs del Sol Program - Brad
Smith, Indiana.
- Our experience with Amigos
del Sol over the last year has been extremely helpful. We began learning Spanish
in small classes during exploratory visit to Oaxaca but when we later arrived
to live here for a few months we wanted one-on-one classes fine-tuned to our
changing needs. We have been consistently gratified and rewarded by the flexibility
and responsiveness of this small school and the friendly professionalism of
its director Rogelio Ballesteros. - Margo & Ian Baldwin
- Vermont, United States.
- "This was our first experience
in Spanish language instruction. It was great. Rogelio and his crew were warm,
friendly, and knowledgeable. We came as students but left as friends. We learned
enough Spanish to help us communicate adequately in our travels through Mexico.
We would like to have more and weīre planning a return trip to Oaxaca and
to Amigos del Sol." - Ellen and Charlie Gliva.
- I was recently a
student at the Instituto Amigos del Sol. What an excellent experience! The
school itself was very charming. The instructors were well qualified and capable,
and the program allows the flexibility to really address the needs of the
individual student. I highly recommend Amigos del Sol." Ritch
Calving.
