"The school is in a nice neighbourhood not far from the centre of Oaxaca. You could not ask for more helpful and pedagogic teachers, they´ll help you with anything you ask for, even in your private life(helping find hotels, hospitals and more). Small classes which is good, and the tempo is acustomed to your previous knowledge. Amigos del Sol is a safe choice if you want to learn Spanish in a great an fun way. I also got a lot of friends at the school in only one week. "

"I cannot recommend Amigos del Sol highly enough. The teachers are fanstastic, very patient adn really feel like friends. Thanks to their help my Spanish has improved a lot. In a matter of a few classes I have progressed from saying la sopa and gesticulating washing my hands... to being able to ask for medicine for a sore throat in the pharmacy and having conversations in Spanish. Only thanks to the wonderful teacher we had at the school. My only regret is we cannot stay longer. "

"Esteban and Celso are excellent teachers. They are easy to talk to because they are well-informed about the world and are good about asking questions to keep the conversation going. Also, they are patient and they allow the student to try to solve his linguistic problem himself, without simply telling him what to say. The school, as an Institution, is very warm and welcoming, and goes way beyond language teaching in helping students to learn more and enjoy Oaxacan Culture. I´m sorry I had to cut my time short, but I hope to be able to return in the future. My six days of conversation here with some attention to grammar, have advanced me more than any other six days of study since I started studying Spanish four years ago. "

"I think both the teachers and the classes were very helpful in my learning. I only wish I had more time. I think one of the best aspects of the classes is that while you are learning eveything is based completely in Spanish, and English is used only when necessary. The willingness to cater to the individuals needs of the students was also great. Thanks for everything! "
