Testimonials
I studied Spanish at Cima Del Mundo in Antigua during June and July (5 weeks) in 2007. There, I had my own instructor with many activities which enabled me to interact in Spanish. The staff were pleasant, understanding, and encouraged me to learn and practice. The staff also help to ensure that your stay in Antigua and study at the school is an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this school for learning Spanish and developing proficiency within a short amount of time.
Learning Materials
Our program includes several work and grammar books. These books contain an example of dialogue, the grammar used in the dialogue and exercises. Our program is constituted for four levels: A, B, C, and D. Each level is developed in a minimum of forty hours.When the level or book is completed, students must be tested in order to advance to the next level. Students receive one book in each level.
These books were created for the development of the linguistic competence (grammatical, phonology and semantics), and along with the directed conversation constitute the essence of the success.
