Camilo Ramirez: Magnifica escuela, aprendi mucho de ustedes. Espero poder volver pronto

Valérie Roy: Gracias por todo! Experiencia genial

Lukas Niemeier: Great school. Perfectly organized with very skilled teachers, good equipment and a lot of fun during classes. I went for 30h/week for two weeks. One in Medellin and one in Cartagena. The Different knowledge levels of the students were taken into account and the groups built fit well together. Thanks again for a great time!

Gaby Sierra: ¡Excelente!

Laura Liszewski: Really nice experience in this school, recommend!

Tom Lovett: I cannot recommend this school enough. I am absolutely amazed that. I'm able to have spontaneous conversations with locals about a host of topics, considering I only did four weeks of classes, starting from zero. I was worried that doing well in classes wouldn't carry over to the real world, but that has not been the case at all.The classes themselves were really enjoyable. My teachers were great, the other students were great. We cracked plenty of jokes while still learning new grammar and vocabulary.The school was very helpful when it came to logistics as well. I literally enrolled on a Friday afternoon for Monday morning classes. Also, the school allowed me to print documents and received a package for me.Cannot recommend this school highly enough.

Laura Shadley: Had a wonderful experience at Centro Catalina - Cartagena. The instructors and staff were outgoing and helpful. School always flew by because it was so much fun. I was nervous to speak with people in Spanish, but I gained a lot of confidence while I was there! The school organized a lot of fun activities that allowed you to experience more of the city. They also organized a trip to Isla Grande on the weekend, which was incredible! I stayed with an awesome host family very close to the school. I can't say enough good things!

Dario Paolillo Mendoza: Super escuela, Muchas gracias, thanks a lot for the great time!The support, activities, treatment and personal are fantastic. Colombia and the School has stolen my heart and they are like a second home and like a Family. May God always bless you in Name of Jesus! Bendiciones mi gente bella

Jim C.: I had a great time a Centro Catalina. The school is located in the historic center of Cartagena, with lots of restaurants, shops and sights in a short walking distance.Teachers and staff are just awesome and made my stay a unique and special experience. Everybody is super friendly and helpful.All in all a great experience, defenitely a school that I can recommend.

lisa muzzin: This is a great place to learn or improve your Spanish. Not only are the teachers and classes of top quality but there are free events most days as well. This helps you to get to know other students and the city and to practice your spanish even more. I really enjoyed my time here. Thanks everyone!

Max N: Great Experience

Yanis GUIGNOUNE: Une école totalement a l’écoute de nos besoin et le tout avec le sourire. Une ambiance géniale du début à la fin. je recommande vivement cette école.

Loris Contro: I spent 6 FUNtastic weeks learning Spanish and everything I could about the Colombian heritage and culture at Centro Catalina, and would have spent a lot more than that if I had had more time. The teachers, facilities, customer service, extra activities and anybody who works in there with great passion: everything was excellent! I attended both schools in Medellin and Cartagena,and I strongly recommend them.

William Zarb: C'est une super école les cours sont très bien organisés , les professeurs sont géniaux. Il y a beaucoup d'activités qui sont organisés chaque jour .

Thomas Augsten: School was great fun, wonderful staff, and evening as well as weekend activities are organized. Stayed for a 1-week elementary course and would come back. Also limited number of affordable rental rooms available in a safe neighborhood.

Emeline Flores: Une super école pour apprendre l'espagnol ! Une super ambiance entre les élèves et les professeurs :)

HAMOOD AL TOQI: Great school great stuff the best experience to learn Spanish highly recommend

Caleb Solofra: Great school! Classes allowed me to dig deep into not only the language but also the culture of Medellín. I have traveled a lot, and this school is the most friendly and made me most comfortable.Here’s a list of other great things:-provided a fantastic host family-top notch classes-good location in Medellín (lots to do)-optional evening activity provided each day (like a movie, salsa classes, etc)-clean facility

Brian Eaten: Perfect Spanish school for a perfect experience. S/o to David

Danny Lee: I truly can recommend centro catalina for every person who wants to learn spanish - doesnt matter which level you have! The facilities, the staff, the teachers and the way they teach are top notch! Every day they have an activity for the afternoon and also for the weekends, like salsa class, movies, city- or graffiti-tours, etc. Also the school is in the middle of centeo historico and so you can find many restaurants, bars and shops just next to it! On this point i want to say MUCHAS GRACIAS to all of the staff, especially to David, who is an amazing "papi"!! All of you, keep going the way you do!! Mucho gusto.. jackie! ;)

Carolina Guimaraes: Estudei por 4 semanas na Escola Nueva Lengua em Cartagena- Colômbia. Escola bem organizada, com professores muito bons, as turmas possuem no máximo 3 a 5 alunos o que faz que você esteja bem exposto a fala, temos aula de conversação e gramática . Todos os dias tem programação de passeios ou eventos organizados pela escola para que as turmas possam interagir e até mesmo experimentar outras formas de aprendizado ! Quero voltar para estudar novamente lá !

Lily Meng: I had a great experience at Nueva Lengua, the teachers and staff are very nice and patient. They have good methods and offer many free fun activities after school. 这个学校很不错，喜欢我的老师，教育方法和许多免费的课余活动。

Arielle Bernardin: I recently attended Nueva Lengua Cartagena Spanish School for 3 weeks and it was by far the best 3 weeks ever. The school was amazing with wonderful and knowledgeable teachers like Paula and Carolina. Paula was incredibly patient and kind, while Carolina went above and beyond with her engaging and upbeat teaching style. I miss them both dearly! They made learning so much fun that we looked forward to attending classes each day.On top of that, the weekly activities organized by the school were incredibly fun and entertaining; I always looked forward to them and especially loved how they put up a clear schedule on the wall to inform us about them. I also had the opportunity to meet such wonderful people from all around the world that I still keep in contact with. Thanks to their excellent teaching methods and engaging activities, my Spanish has improved tremendously.I would highly recommend Nueva Lengua to anyone who wants to learn or better their Spanish while having a great time. Thank you, Nueva Lengua Cartagena Spanish School, for an unforgettable experience!

Kaili Barnes: I came to Nueva Lengua to learn medical Spanish for my future care. I have only been here for 4 days and my Spanish has gotten so much better! The way they teach her is so incredible! The teachers a very supportive and you can tell they love their jobs! Everyone I have met here has said that this is one of the top programs in the world and I definitely think that is true. This program brings in so many people from so many different countries and it’s so wonderful to be around them all. My first week I have Gaby and Mayra as my teachers and they a wonderful!! I’m so excited for the next 4 weeks here!

Loes de Smet: My boyfriend and I followed the intense Spanish course for two weeks at the start of our trip to Colombia. The experience was amazing! The communication with the office went smoothely and the activities after school are fun and a great way to practice your Spanish. Our teachers (Mayra and Carolina) were really professional and you can see they have a passion for teaching and the Spanish language. They always motivated us and made learning a new language so much fun. We have learned so much in two weeks! Would definitely recommend others to go there as well.

Thomas Avedissian: Did 2 weeks of Spanish school at Nueva Lengua and it was a great learning experience! The teachers are very professional and fun (special shoutout to Mayra and Carolina) and the activities the school organizes are a great way to learn about Cartagena and Colombian culture.

Lord North YoungBoy: Nueva Lengua est une école incroyable, situé dans le centre ville de Cartagena. Je recommande vivement cette expérience. Des professeurs compétant et à l’écoute des étudiants

Jaqueline Marcelino: Foi uma ótima experiência. Os professores são excelentes, e temos a oportunidade de conhecer pessoas de todo o mundo enquanto aprendemos.

Nicole Jeandupeux: Très bonne école, j'ai fait beaucoup de progrès en 1 semaine, les cours sont bien structurés entre théorie et pratique et les profs sont très sympas et arrangeants !

sammy habes: L école offre des cours de tout niveau, j’aime leur méthode d apprentissage qui me semble être efficace. Ils sont très sympathiques.

Andressa Roque: Tive uma experiência incrível! Os professores e todos os profissionais da escola foram maravilhosos do começo ao fim. Uma oportunidade incrível de conhecer a cidade, além de conhecer pessoas novas e melhorar o Espanhol. Recomendo muito.

Honorine Desilles: J’ai adoré apprendre l’espagnol au sein de cette école ! Tout s’est très bien passé entre la qualité des professeurs, les groupes de petite taille qui permettent de progresser rapidement et la qualité des activités incluses ! Merci

Kleber Francisco da Silva: É uma escola com arquitetura charmosa, a estrutura é colonial e os professores são muito receptivos. A comida é muito gostosa e as atividades extras são muito legais. Aprendemos Espanhol o dia todo praticamente, fiquei duas semanas estudando na escola e tive muita troca cultural, já estou com saudades e vontade de voltar.

Elias: Tiden min på Nueva Lengua i Cartagena var et minne for livet. Skolen har en fantastisk lokasjon i hjertet av Cartagena. Jeg var der i 10 dager og ble utrolig godt motatt. Jeg hadde Carolina som lærer og WOW, for en evne til å lære bort. Vi avsluttet alltid med 1 time med fokus på kommunikasjon, hvor Kevin var helt strålende. Aktivitetene etter skolen var også veldig gøy, fordi du utforsket byen på måter du elles aldri ville gjort. Jeg kan virkelig anbefale denne skolen til andre reisende.

ian paul: The school is a great place to enrol. The teachers are helpful, friendly and assist you regardless of what level of Spanish you have. It’s a great place to mix with like minded travellers so it doesn’t matter if you enrol by yourself or with a travelling buddy as there are daily activities for you to interact with fellow travellers if you choose to. I was fortunate to have Kevin, Mayra, Carolina and Paola as my main teachers but also had the pleasure of having Eli the dance teacher who is packed full of energy to help me going from having 2 left feet to pulling of salsa, merengue and bachata dance routines. I’m happy to have spent my time here.

Eve B: Ich habe für zwei Wochen an der Schule Nueva Lengua einen Spanischkurs gemacht. Die Schule hat eine sehr gute Lage in Getsemani, einem bunten belebten Viertel. Meine Gastfamilie wohnt im Stadtteil Manga in 15 Minuten Fußweg von der Schule entfernt. Mir haben die beiden Wochen Unterricht sehr viel gebracht. Wir haben viel Theorie gelernt und wiederholend geübt. Dabei wurde ausschließlich Spanisch gesprochen. Die beiden Lehrerinnen Mayra und Ana haben den Unterricht sehr gut gestaltet und uns sehr viel Geduld entgegengebracht. Es war eine angenehme Atmosphäre in der Klasse. Die Gruppengröße war mit 4-5 Leuten perfekt als Intensivkurs. Das Unterrichtsmaterial war auch sehr übersichtlich. Nachmittags wurden viele verschiedene kostenlose Aktivitäten von der Schule angeboten, z.B. Kochkurse, Ausflüge in der Stadt (Burg, Museum), Kajakausflüge am Strand und in die Mangroven. Die Unterrichtszeiten von 9-13 Uhr haben sehr gut gepasst um den Nachmittag noch zu nutzen. Ich habe zusätzlich zum Spanischkurs noch einen Tanzkurs gemacht. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß und ich habe in die Salsa, Bachata und Merengue gelernt. Muchas gracias!

Nico Le: Ich habe insgesamt zwei Wochen lang die Sprachschule Nueva Lengua in Cartagena besucht und war so begeistert, dass ich nach einer Woche verlängert habe. Die Schule befindet sich direkt im zentralen, coolen Stadtteil Getsemani. Ich wohnte bei einer kolumbianischen Familie 20 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Der Unterricht fand von 9-13 Uhr statt, es wurde nur spanisch gesprochen.In der Schule wurde ein leckeres preisgünstiges Mittagessen angeboten, Getränke waren frei.Selbst Lehrerin, war ich von den modernen Lehrmethoden und der Vielfalt der Aufgaben angenehm überrascht. Der Unterricht wurde professionell vorbereitet, war gut strukturiert und dem Niveau der Gruppe angepasst. Die Lehrkräfte sind sehr gut ausgebildet, motiviert und freundlich. Ich habe die Grammatik gut verstanden und große Fortschritte im Lesen, Schreiben und Verstehen von spanischen Texten gemacht. Jeden Nachmittag wurden zusätzlich kostenlose Gruppenaktivitäten angeboten, z.B. Koch- und Tanzkurse oder Ausflüge in die nähere Umgebung.Ich habe eine tolle Zeit in Cartagena verbracht, das karibische Urlaubsfeeling sehr genossen und kann diese Sprachschule uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Mélissa VALSIN: J'ai énormément apprécié mon séjour de 2 semaines à l'école de Cartagena au mois de février dernier. Toute l'équipe a été très accueillante et ça a été un plaisir d'étudier au sein de Nueva lengua.Malgré ma courte durée de séjour, mes professeurs Gerald et Mayra m'ont permis de bien progresser en espagnol et en plus, les cours ont toujours été passionnants.De plus, les activités de l'école étaient très diversifiées et m'ont permis de connaître davantage la culture colombienne; j'ai d'ailleurs même pu découvrir le carnaval de Barranquilla grâce à Cynthia, organisatrice de l'évènement au sein de l'école.L'école est très bien située au coeur du magnifique quartier coloré de Getsemani, où il règne une ambiance festive en permanence.La bonne humeur générale au quotidien et le sourire de l'ensemble du personnel de cette école ont rendu mon séjour inoubliable.Aujourd'hui, mon seul regret au sujet de cette école aura été de ne pas avoir pu y rester plus longtemps.

Serafim: A Escola Nueva Lengua é incrível, certamente eu posso dizer que aqui formamos uma família, eu fui muito bem recebido pelos colegas de classe, funcionários e todos os Professores (as) são muito amáveis e solicitos, Eles (as) conhecem e dominam o idioma e me ajudaram muito na imersão ao Español. Adorei a experiência e em breve vou trazer o meu filho aqui para fazer o curso e intercâmbio. Eu recomendo a escola, amigo (a) Brasileiro venha ter uma boa experiência inesquecível na Escola Nueva Lengua. Saludos 🇧🇷🇨🇴.

Robert Parkin: Professional, supportive, excellent tutors, amazingly good value.. highly recommended!

Karina Rattke: Die Spanisch-Einzel-Stunden waren genau das, was ich gebraucht hatte. Jemand der meine Fehler korrigiert, die ich tagtäglich in meinen Konversationen im Hostel, im Restaurant oder auf der Straße unbewusst machte. Ich hatte acht Stunden mit der super sympathischen Esperanza gebucht und diese wurden täglich, sehr flexibel an meine Wünsche angepasst.Die Kontaktaufnahme verlief ganz unproblematisch per Mail.Aufmerksam wurde ich auf Raíces, da sie ihre Stunden außerhalb der sonst üblichen Klassenzimmer durchführen. Wir waren in verschiedenen Cafés und in öffentlichen Parks. Auf diese Weise erhält man ganz nebenbei nützliche Tipps für lohnenswerte Orte in Cartagena.Auch inhaltlich waren die Stunden abwechslungsreich gestaltet und hatten Bezug zur Kultur und Alltag in Kolumbien bzw. Lateinamerika.Am Ende jeder Stunde erhielt ich eine schriftliche Zusammenfassung des Besprochenen, die Esperanza parallel geführt hatte, um meine neuen Erkenntnisse nachträglich festigen zu können.Ich danke Raíces und besonders Esperanza für diese tolle Zeit!Ihr seid jetzt ein Teil meiner Reise, an den ich sehr gern zurück denke.

Oscar Hulleman: Goede taalschool met enthousiaste docenten en een leuke manier van lesgeven. We werkten niet in een klaslokaal maar vanuit verschillende plekken in de stad. Hierdoor leer je én Cartagena beter kennen én je leert je Spaans te gebruiken in de praktijk.Zelf had ik twee weken privéles van Esperanza en dat beviel erg goed. Ze legde de stof goed uit, was geduldig en zocht leuke tentjes uit. Kortom, het waren leerzame en gezellige ochtenden.Prijs-kwaliteitverhouding (13-15 dollar per uur privéles) is ook goed in vergelijking met andere scholen die ik had gevonden.

Happiness and LOVE: It's a perfect place to learn the beautiful language Spanish.You not only learn Spanish you also learn about the beautiful city Cartagena.It has a good central location and the teachers are super helpful and friendly! I can highly recommend it! Always again!

Kristen Jensen: I was able to take private lessons with Estefany for a month (4 hours a day) as I was studying to pass a language exam for my university. Estefany and the rest of the Raíces staff are so fun and knowledgeable in their profession! I learned so much about Spanish, Colombia, and Cartagena. Estefany was amazing knowing what would be required and could assess my level really well. I ended up getting a level above what was required of me! Would highly recommend using Raíces for any type of Spanish education, be it casual learning or studying for an important test!

Amy Bryant: I've used Raices for myself and my 9 year old son - on two separate occasions. Their pricing is very reasonable and their instruction exceeded my expectations both times. They creatively worked with my 9 year old to keep him engaged in the language. They are also open to unique experiences outside of the classroom. I highly recommend reaching out to Esperanza or Estefannia! And, Blanca is great with kids as well!

Sarah Vella: I greatly enjoyed my overall language learning experience at Raices. I wanted to find a school where I could increase my speaking and listening fluency, and I did not want the traditional classroom/grammar approach to learning. Their one on one full immersion approach was perfect for me. My teacher Esperanza customized my class experience to what my language needs and interests were. We went to museums, bookstores, cafes, parks and went shopping, all while practicing Spanish. It was a very fun language learning experience, and Cartagena is a very fun place to learn in! I also was invited to go to a concert with the rest of the Raices teachers and students which was a lot of fun! They also found me a homestay where my hosts were very friendly and only spoke Spanish, which I feel really helped my immersion experience. Now that I am back home, I am taking classes on Skype also with Esperanza in order to keep on improving my speaking and listening skills. If you are looking for the full immersion experience I highly recommend Raices!

Silas Bleisch: I lived for six months in Cartagena back in 2018 after my Senior High School Year in Switzerland and took classes at Raíces for several months to improve my Spanish. An extraordinary thing about Raíces is the way they teach. Their personalised classes were tailored to my specific needs and wishes at my convenience.As someone who started at a B2 level I truly appreciated that they knew how to help me eradicate my tiny little mistakes, augment my vocabulary and enhance my oral understanding of the rather rapidly spoken local spanish, the so-called Costeñol. Thanks to my teachers Esperanza and especially Estefany I aced the C1 exam with a 94% score, which would not have been possible without them! However, Raíces is also incredibly competent in teaching beginners as the majority of my fellows were. The teachers do speak English, some very well and the others at least at a conversational level. If this is not sufficient they explain it with "their hands and feet".Furthermore, the slogan "Spanish and culture" reflects its programme, as the teachers are all young and adorable persons who take their students out on a beer after class, show them the city´s most charming spots and organise regular excursions to the villages nearby. I participated in several of them, e.g. we went playing "tejo" in Turbaco or visited a native colombian village near Sincelejo over the weekend, which was one of my personal highlights of my whole stay in Colombia!Another special thing are their weekly spanish soirées in which the teachers and their students meet around 6 locals to practice speaking and to deepen their knowledge about the Spanish language and Colombia by playing cool group games.All this is what distinguishes Raíces from any other language school in Cartagena as the teachers virtually do everything to not only teach you Spanish but beyond that also make you feel welcome and cared about during your stay in their country. I can especially recommend this school to American, German and Swiss (or any european) students, as the school has years of experience about how to make these nationalities feel comfortable.Thank you guys very much I had a blast and see you in Switzerland 2019! :)Su estudiante estrella Sili

Chad Garrett: I've tried to contact this company numerous times both via email and by phone using phone calls and texts. The only response I received was via text telling me they would contact me later. Still waiting and no response. Can't speak to the Spanish lessons offered by this company but can say the initial contact with them to try to arrange classes is terrible. Multiple other companies in the Cartagena were much more responsive. I hope the lessons are offered are better than the customer service.

Katy Keenan: I love Raíces Spanish School!
I worked with Esperanza while I was in Cartagena this summer and we have continued online twice a week since then. She is an excellent teacher, very patient & great at explaining things.We talk about different topics each time which helps build vocabulary and keep the lessons fun while reinforcing grammar and conjugations.I haven’t worked with any of the other teachers but they seem like a very close-knit group and I’m sure they are all just as talented and wonderful to work with.I can’t recommend Raíces enough! 
In person or online, your Spanish will improve & you will have lots of fun in the process!

amy kreger: This school is absolutely wonderful. Their learning approach is like no other language school around. It's not a typical classroom setting...you explore the city...everything is completely catered to you and your learning style...and it's not more expensive than the other schools around. I'm was an absolute beginner at learning Spanish before taking lessons at Raíces...I am a slow learner and I was blown away with how much I learnt in my month with Esperanza...The teachers are so caring and dedicated. They help you to keep learning by holding free really fun meet ups with the other students and teachers.I couldnt recommend this school more...it was the best part of my month in Cartagena.

Peter Panier: I took a Spanish course in February and March with Jader for 2 weeks. I can highly recommend this school. Their concept is a bit different then from other schools but amazing. I was every morning for 3 hours with Jader in the city of Cartagena and I learned a lot for that short time. It is a great mix between culture, some activities and of course to learn the language. Raices provide very good study material and they really know how to teach. I met also the other teachers and I can say they are all great. If you want to study Spanish in Colombia, go to RAICES!

Andrea: This school sets itself apart from any other school I've gone too. All the teachers are so warm and welcoming, and the initiative and effort they all put into the school is incredible. These are locals who really loves what they do, and works hard to offer a good product. Unlike other schools I've experienced who feels more like a money-machine who doesn't really care about YOU. I'm so impressed by them all. But especially I love the time I spent with my professor Estefany. She made me feel safe when attempting to speak, she tailored the classes to my level and my needs, and we had a lot of fun while learning. All classes were accompanied by a lot of laughter and usually a pastry or two. I love the combination the school offer of teaching you Spanish, but also about the Colombian culture. I went to classes with Estefany for about a month, and my Spanish has improved a lot!

Ruben Cantello: Love this school! all teachers are very friendly, and always giving you a big smile. What i like the most is how they give the class, very dynamic, so students can improve fast Spanish, and be able to talk with locals. Also is not just about learning the language, is also to learn the culture! they have a great Cartagenero heart, so as they like to teach they like to show the city, taking you to different events that's going on around. i definitely recommend this school, and i'm sure if you take class with them, you will end it up loving the language, and Cartagena as well.

Liam Bryce: A great place to learn spanish!

Sabrina Franz: I was surprised to see how my Spanish improved. Honestly I didn't had good experiences in other schools but the guys made me feel welcome :)

Katya Savenkova: Great school, teachers are the best!

Hans-Jakob Schäfer: Very nice school, good teachers, small classes and afternoon activities with locals. Also helped me with organizing my further holidays and other things like local SIM card and vaccination. You don’t do a mistake when choosing this school.

Carsten Huber: Spanisch lernen (auch als Bildungsurlaub möglich!) in einem der schönsten Städte der Welt am warmen karibischen Meer.SWI bietet Spanisch Sprachurlaub im Künstlerviertel Getsemani in Cartagena an. Man lernt hier in einer familiären, freundlichen Atmosphäre in kleinen Gruppen. Die Schule ist gut ausgestattet, hat eine Top Lage mit vielen netten Restaurants und Cafes direkt um die Ecke und hat gute, ambitionierte Lehrer.Cartagena ist UNESCO Weltkulturerbe und und bietet ein einzigartiges Ambiente, tolle Restaurants und ein legendäres Nachtleben mit vielen (Salsa-) Clubs. CTG ist nur 1,5 Flugstunden von BOG entfernt.Maria von SWI in Bogotá ist Eure Haupt-Ansprechpartnerin rund um Euren Sprachurlaub. Sie organisiert alles nach Euren Wünschen. In Cartagena wiederum ist die sehr hilfsbereite Nahomy Eure Ansprechpartnerin.Ich kann diese Sprachschule nur wärmstens empfehlen, das Ambiente in dieser Stadt ist einmalig, ein perfektes setting, um Spanisch zu lernen und es gleich vor Ort anzuwenden!

Almar Vergunst: I had a really great time at spanish world institute. A great place to learn spanish with good teachers. I had two week of private lessons over here with two different teachers. Both teachers (Andrés and Nahomy) were really friendly and skilled in the things they doing.Thanks Andrés and Nahomy for this good time and the things you learned me! I will definitly come back to learn more.

Jay D'Alba: The Spanish World Institute.When you first enter you are greeted by the friends you have known forever, but you are meeting for the first time. They are your instructors who will lead you on a voyage into a culture like no other. This is the essence of the Spanish World Institute - here learning is fun!Having learning experiences in numerous countries, I can say without hesitation that The Spanish World Institute is the best!

Selina Wiggins: I enjoyed studying there and learned a lot. Also the activities outside the classroom were really nice. The teachers are friendly and Ana, who was my teacher, did a great job. A negative aspect in my opinion is that you don‘t get a skript with the rules, grammar etc. but only single sheets about the topic that you discuss in class.

Blair Healy: The Spanish school was fantastic. Highly recommended, Maria and her staff create a safe, comfortable environment in which to learn and practice the language, but will make sure to tailor your learning experience to the pace best suited to you.

Eglenis Garcia: Good school

Laurin Rienhardt: I spend 6 weeks at the Spanish world institute to really become fluent in Spanish and I am more than happy about my time here. Right from the beginning the teachers took really good care of me and adapted the classes to my level. Furthermore without having booked it, I had one to one tuition the entire time, which really helped a lot with my personal progress. I could always ask questions and would get helpful replies. Everybody is extremely friendly and also all the teachers speak English well, so it's not a problem, if your Spanish is a little lacking in the beginning. The location is great, cartagena is a beautiful city to spend some time and the teachers will be sure give you recommendations on what to do and even organize stuff for you. Very glad to have been here.

Steffen W: Muchas gracias a Ane y Ani! I had only one week, but still learned a lot. If possible, I will come back and continue my lessons. The two are the best Spanish teachers, so enthusiastic and truly seem to enjoy teaching spanish and also their culture.

Jessica Castro: Great school, it offers oportunity to practice spanish in a real context. Located in rhe trendy neighboorhood (getsemani)

Alec Altonen: I went to Spanish World Institute for one week. The professors are awesome and interactive. Come into this school at any spanish experience level. The school is easy to find and in a great location in town. Defintely worth it.

Ingebjørg Rygnestad: I studied at SWI in Cartagena for 3months in 2017, and after the first two weeks I noticed that things weren't exactly clean or the way it was supposed to be. A rude and exploiting manager is to blame for this. My main teacher was excellent in her job and the reason why I learned Spanish so good, but if the manager was to decide I would most likely have failed my exam in the end. The manager refused me to switch teacher, she put me in a lower level group of student to save money, even though there were teachers available. She was the one deciding my curriculum even though my teacher, who in fact is educated in the field and she not, wanted to do it otherwise which slowed down my progress. These are factors which has influenced my classes, but why I really can not recommend this place is because I know how she treats her staff. They get almost daily treatenings that if they don't do this and that they will be fired, she holds back the monthly payment and also forces her staff to pay for the extra expenses for the air-condition (which was higher due to a higher number of students). I have many more examples just as ridiculous as this one. And when 4 out of 6 staffmembers have been fired since I was there, it should go off some alarm bells when you choose your school. PS: Just a last funny story. The manager refused me to have classes with one of my teachers because she though that I would end up pregnant...what more can I say? Best wishes for my X-teachers

Christian Wörz: I studied here for almost 3 weeks and could really improve my Spanish! I was the only student in my group so I had like private classes with Victoria. The classes were really fun and well structured. It was a well balanced mix between grammar, exercises and conversation including some listening comprehension. Thank you very much Victoria! I did not give 5 stars because I would have preferred to meet more students there and to have more activities (like every afternoon). I think the school needs to invest more money in online marketing to attract more younger students from abroad. Besides the school is very beautiful and perfectly located in Getsemani!

Katie Johnson: I took a week of intensive classes before traveling across South America for the summer. It was a good way to get to know the language and to be able to practice speaking and listening. I thought the lessons were well rounded. I learned about grammar but was still about to practice speaking and listening and learn about Colombian culture. I was the only student in my class so I was able to receive extra attention. I would recommend SWI to anyone visiting Cartagena.

Carly Ellis: I really enjoyed learning at this school. Tania was a very nice teacher and helped me learn basic Spanish. I felt comfortable to ask questions and have come away with more knowledge than before. I would recommend to anyone :)

Stewart Martin: I think that SWI is one of the better schools in Cartagena. They generally have small class sizes (I was 1 on 1) which means that there is more attention for each student. I went to the school in Bogotá at the start of my time in Colombia and was able to continue from the same ciriculum when I arrived later in Cartagena. Having a school in both of these places is ideal for travellers looking to improve their spanish as they travel.

Lemoine Joachim: Very good school and the teachers are very friendly!

Alison Cortes: I took classes at Spanish World Institute in Cartagena for two weeks after taking classes at another school in El Centro. I preferred Spanish World Institute because I received personal attention and care from the teachers and administrators and felt like I was part of a family. The classes were very comprehensive and the focus was on what I wanted to work on, as opposed to a strict curriculum. The teachers took us on several excursions around the city and also arranged a Salsa class for all of the students, after which I ended up taking private lessons with the teacher at the school. The school is located in a beautiful part of Getsemani, close to Plaza de Trinidad. I recommend Spanish World Institute to anyone who is considering taking Spanish classes in Cartagena.

Caroline Gerber: I am studying spanish in this spanish school for two weeks and it is a very good experience.first there is a test you have to do and then your individual program will be prepared. that is very eficent. i like to learn in this school, because the teacher are very friendly and profesional. i am also teacher and am satisfied with spanish world insitute in cartagena. i would recommend to come here and learn spanish.

Thomas Wojkowski: Schule mit Hauptsitz in Bogota und seit etwa einem Jahr auch mit Standort in Cartagena fuer diejenigen die es waermer und touristischer moegen. Die Schule liegt in der wunderschoenen Altstadt von Cartagena umgeben von netten Lokalen und hat sich mittlerweile gut etabliert. Fuer Interessenten des Bidlungsurlaubs sehr gut geeingnet, da es sehr indivduell gestalltet wird mit Moeglichkeiten den Unterricht mit vielen Interessen und Aktivitaeten zu fuellen (z.B. Vokabeln lernen am Strand) Ich haette mir einzig und allein ein wenig mehr Unterrichtsmaterial gewuenscht um etwas mehr Strukur aufzubauen.Fazit: Der Standort ist ein Taum. Sehr farbenfroh und mit karibischen Einfluss. Gutes Preis- leistungsverhaeltnis (guenstigste die ich auf der Suche weltweit gefunden habe). Man lernt mit Spass!

Claudia Patricia Baron: You always see it from any angle of the city. It is a place that characterizes the city. When you go up it is beautiful because you have a 360° view of the city.Additionally, being there evokes you to that time of antiquity. A place with a lot of history but there it gives you incredible peace.It is in perfect condition despite the long years that this emblematic site has been in Cartagena.You must come and enjoy your view.

Laury Cruz: Totally for me a religious experience, I was filled with a unique energy, beautiful views and spaces, phenomenal and a must-see

Monica Ferrea: Beautiful views of all of Cartagrna. It is worth entering to enjoy them. It is small but well preserved. You don't have to chase itFor safety reasons it is not recommended to walk up the hill. Take a taxi that awaits you and then takes you to the castle.

Brittany Mitro: We stopped here based on an online review of Cartagena we saw and it was a perfect place for an afternoon rest. The coffee was great and the selection of books made for a fun browsing. They had tons of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, so if you are looking for that while you are in Cartagena (in English or Spanish), this is the place to go. If you are looking for some local literature from Colombia, or Spanish translations of some of your favorites, stop in here for a drink and a browse!
