Learn Spanish in Guatemala
Antigua Spanish School
So someone expect to learn Spanish. Ever thought about
studying Spanish in Guatemala? Boatloads of people
travel to Guatemala to attend
one of many Spanish language schools in the quaint town of Antigua.Having inked a peace agreement not long ago that ceased the 36 year
guerrilla state of war, this Latin American country, a little smaller than the state of Iowa, seems to be transforming into the next travel destination with a great flurry of tourism. No longer just for the independent traveler, vacationers
from all parts visit South America for its promise of colorful diversity, plentiful tales of
folklore, natural wonders,
Semana Santa parades and
Spanish language learning.
Many people see themselves beginning off their trip with Antigua as their
home base. Antigua is maybe one of the most fantastic colonial cities in South America, and from there international study abroad students can enjoy the many
excursions that grant foreigners to value. This quaint and tranquil
untouched town, situated in a valley next to 3 volcanoes, Agua, Acatenango
and Fuego, has ruined and restored building, a pleasant multitude of
excellent restaurants, thriving bars, tons of shopping, and the calm
central plaza mayor. Central America and specially, Antigua, is acknowledged for its
inexpensive and dozens of Spanish language schools that draw in travelers who wish to take an educational holiday to
learn Spanish.
While in Guatemala, it is highly recommended that you Look into their Spanish centers, where there are a lot of
chances for participants, young and old, to
learn Spanish, volunteer in the many social, educational and healthcare
organizations in need, take part in host families with local Guatemalan families,
experience the schools organized entertainment, and join the other students for
excursions, salsa dancing or a beer.
Despite the fact Antigua is acknowledged to some as the
Spanish school
capital of Central America with as several travelers it draws in. But sometimes
you have to look for additional opportunities to practice your Spanish language
outside of the classroom setting. For example, many international students stay with local Guatemalan
families to attempt speaking with them. Others volunteer in Guatemalan projects
or accept volunteer positions at charitable organizations. Or one may want
to teach English
as an ESL teacher in Guatemala. Or go
to the outdoor market on the west side of the city where the locals shop or
ride in one of the many motorized “tuk tuks” that take you in and
about
Antigua. There is no shortage of chances to speak Spanish in this colorful and
intriguing town!
Despite the comfort and ease of Antigua, traveling all over Latin America is a
definite must for tourists who would like to sample all that Central America has to
offer. One of the rewards of learning Spanish is that visitors can adventure
out of the classroom to enjoy its innocent beauty while retaining the
learning process. The Spanish language is the official language of Guatemala but there
are several different Mayan languages.
Sure, no trip to Guatemala would be complete without a trip to the
fantastic Mayan pyramids of Tikal, in the north of the country. Get ready to
enjoy some of the largest
archeological wonders in the world even though
the bulk of the structures remain unexcavated.
Tikal, the biggest and
likely the grandest of the Mayan cities, has a assorted of skyscraper like
ruins straining toward the moon, beyond the dense jungle tree tops. As if the
ruins and jungle vegetation are not sufficient, Tikal presents an excellent
chance for fauna and bird watching.
Traveling in Guatemala is an adventure in and of itself. Sitting on a “chicken bus” and you are sure to
learn Spanish while having fun.
These brightly painted recycled U.S. school buses overflowing with religious
artifacts and loud, festive music take local Guatemalans and tourists in and
out of Antigua. Stopping anywhere a traveler wants to get on or off, there are
always people crowded together into the small seats and aisles. This makes practicing the
Spanish language a must.
So why not travel to Central America and live the Spanish language
