Martha Kiander, EEUU - Spanish School in Cusco Peru


If you are interested in learning Spanish and experiencing the wonders of Peru, Cusco is the best place for you. In addition to getting personal attention in classes at ECELA and using materials designed to help you progress, the staff plans activities that allow you to come in contact with the nature and history of the country. I really enjoyed my stay in Cusco and all the opportunities I had to learn Spanish and experience the beauty and tradition that is Peru. I also recommend choosing a homestay, it’s the best!!

Maxmilian Wernli, Alemania -


It was a great time for me in the school, I spent three months there and always the activities were interesting and funny. I learned a lot, the clases are great and there are levels for absolut beginners until really advanced spanish speakers. They organized good visits in other cities and even countries in the weekend and the relation between the students and the teachers is more like a friendship. It was an amazing experience and I can only recommend it!! Maximilian

Antonia Baer, Alemania - Spanish School in Chile


Yo esperaba pasar unos meses especiales en Chile, pero el tiempo en la escuela me dio mucho más de lo que pensaba. Conocí a personas muy amables, entre el staff y los profesores, igual como entre los estudiantes y estoy segur que voy a volver a verlos y mantener el contacto. Siempre quería aprender español y no puedo pensar en una mejor manera que en Ecela. Me encanta Chle y la gente acá y la escuela hizo posible que pudiera conocer este país. Como en mi despedida no tuve tiempo para decir tods los nombres de las personas que me importan, acá están, aunque estoy segura que voy a olvidar a más de alguno: Muchas gracias a Edith, Astrid, Rodrigo, Francisco, Gabriela, Monica , Andrea, Debora, Marisol, Susana, Paolo, Kira, Cristian, Idania, Tia Lucy y Tia Jimena y especialmente a Felipe. Y también varios estudiantes de otros países que pude conocer en Ecela. Todos ustedes son una parte de mi vida que voy a echar de menos. Nos vemos cuando vuelva, de eso estoy segura. Los quiero mucho Antonia

Michelle Bennett - USA - ECELA BUENOS AIRES


Me he quedado acá bastante tiempo y por eso tengo mucho que decir. Primero, muchas gracias a mis profesores. Tuve 6 profesores, 7 incluso Gabriel. Florencia, Rocio, Nadia, Marcelo, Leila, Elizabeth. Gracias por su apoyo y paciencia. Se que a veces les hacía preguntas tontas o no entendía que por su ayuda mi español ha mejorado o por lo menos tengo más confianza hablar con la gente. Emmanuel: Gracias por enseñarme cosas que nunca habría aprendido en clases y por gracias por sus consejos y por mostrarme Wisin y Yandel y choripan, pero nos vemos.. Pilar: gracias por todas las ctividades que arreglaste. No voy a olvidar tu energía y entusiasmo. Espero que no cambies Gabriel: Todavía creo que sos el más normal a pesar de lo que digan los otros. A mi me parece que siempre estás sonriendo y muy feliz ECELA fue una experiencia increible que no olvidaré. Pero me van a ver (05.jul.10)

ECELA Lima was great! The staff here are so friendly and there is a lot of staff-student interaction.

I wish I could have extended my stay here and I will definitely be coming back! -.----------------------------------------------------ECELA Lima Fue Fantastico!

Lorna Pakkiri: ECELA Mendoza - England


I spent 2 weeks at the school in Mendoza and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Both the school and city have so much to offer. The school was intimate and more like a family than an impersonal school. The classes were well run with interesting and dynamic teachers. The staff were great fun and always willing to help and ensure that I was happy with my classes, the family I was staying with and the city. I would definitely recommend the school to anyone wanting a more personal experience.

Bill Walker: ECELA Mendoza - United States


I really enjoyed getting to study and live in Buenos Aires for a little while and also Mendoza afterwards. I felt like it gave me a good feel of the whole country and not just the big city. It was very easy and affordable to travel. The mountains are beautiful, the weather is perfect, the city is alive with its own culture and activity, and you get to drink great wine! Everyone at the school was so welcoming, and they really are committed to making sure that you not only learn Spanish but also feel comfortable and have a lot of fun!

Guillaume “Guillermo” Bigué – ECELABARILOCHE - CANADA


The main reason why I spent four months in South America was to learn spanish. I started my trip with a total of nine weeks of schools in ECELA Buenos Aires and Bariloche and it’s AMAZING all much I’ve learned. Bariloche is definitely one the most beautiful city I’ve visited in South America and the excellent teachers of this school are part of my sucess. The knowledge of spanish helped me a lot while traveling, to meet locals, to share cultures, typical experiences, etc. I knew that I had learned in school when a Chilean told me “Es increible como bien hablas castellano, pero porque tienes el acento Argentino? jaja” Lonely Planet – 1000 Ultimate Travel Experiences 2009 - Learning while travelling #365 “Spanish in Patagonia, Bariloche - Argentina” - It works !
