I am an elementary school teacher and have many Spanish-speaking students. In order to better understand their culture, and to better communicate with their parents, I hoped to visit Mexico and improve my Spanish through an immersion method. I can read some Spanish, but carrying on a conversation is very difficult. There are many language schools in Mexico. I happened... more

I have recently returned from a 2-week stay in Merida, MX attending ECORA language school and living with a homestay family. I say it was a wakeup call because a full year of spanish at an American University does not equip you to converse in Spanish with native speakers of spanish. These two weeks made me realize how far I... more

My time at ECORA Language school was incredible. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make sure the students needs were met. For example in our class a couple of the students were staying in hostels that were far away from the school and yet every morning the director of the school would personally pick everyone... more

First of all, they were responsive (answering within 24 hours) BEFORE you gave them any money. After I paid them, they seemed to... more

When I jumped off that bus from Tulum to Merida, I had no idea that I would be living the most exciting summer ever. I found ECORA language institute by chance looking over the internet. I was searching for a Spanish school that would welcome me with five days notice, that could organize excursions to various places in Yucatan and... more

I have studied at Ecora for about six months. I found the lessons interesting and varied, so I was never bored. My spanish has improved condiderably, and I can recommend Ecora as an excellent place to learn Spanish. more

I am Esther Verhaagen, I am from Holland and I am taking Spanish lessons at ECORA Spanish School in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. I am really pleased about the lessons I take. I started my lessons as a beginner and now, about 3 weeks later I can already communicate with the Mexican people! My teacher is really nice, all the staff... more
