I'm in my early 50's a considered the "sandwich generation". Have ailing parents that sometimes…read moreneed assistance as well as children in their early 20's, in college & home, that are learning how to spread their wings. Our daughter graduated from high school in 2022 and we were thrilled when she was accepted at Baylor for Nursing. Unfortunately, Baylor was over crowded for the upcoming fall so they offered all incoming students a free semester of housing and classes if they could postpone enrollment until the Spring semester. Only catch was the students could not attend another college while they were waiting. Of course we wanted to take that deal! But I wasn't about to have our daughter stay home & sleep in right before she went to college. ANYWAY! She decided she wanted to take a gap year & travel. Yeah, when pigs fly! So I told her about Cemanahuac. I went to Cemanahuac myself the Summer before starting college a LONG time ago. I had accepted a job working for the airlines and wanted to improve my Spanish enough to pass the international speaker test so I could fly to Central & South America. I stayed in Cuernavaca for two months, Cemanahuac placed me with a wonderful family, and my Spanish was fluent when I returned. My Husband was very leery about my daughter going to live in Mexico "alone" and in all honesty he was one of the biggest hurdles to getting everything set up. I called & emailed Cemanahuac for information on enrolling our daughter. I was very impressed by the response time, friendliness, & my daughter & I bonded over the excitement of setting up her trip! This all happened around Covid & I was surprised at how much further along with vaccinations the U.S. was as opposed to Mexico. My husband & I rented an airbnb close to the school but enrolled our daughter in the live with a family option. We figured that way we would be close by if she needed anything but she could still feel independent. We arrived Friday afternoon the week before her classes were scheduled to begin. I did not confirm with the school that we would be arriving that early. Once in our Airbnb I emailed the school to let them know we were in town. Within hours we received a call from Charlie welcoming us to Cuernavaca & made a plan to meet up the following day for a tour of the school & to meet the family our daughter would be staying with. Remember that my husband was not a fan of this trip & Charlie's perfect English & professionalism scored a lot of points in helping with the transition. Our daughter is diabetic and my biggest fear was managing her sugars & diet in another country. Charlie is somewhat of an expert on diabeties. He worked with the host family to ensure our daughter's meals were what she needed, he checked her blood sugar throughout the day, and when she had an allergic reaction to the cat at the host family's home Charlie contacted us immediately so we could confer with her Doctor. Her dietitian suggested she wear the diabetes freedom device on her arm and link it with her smart phone. The device alerts when sugars are too high, too low, and saves the data so her dietician could access the information remotely. Something else to consider: Mexico does not have epi pens readily available. In fact, my daughter had an allergic reaction to the cat that belonged to the host family. My husband read all about it & many people in México die from anaphylactic shock because epi pens are mostly available only in ambulances, emergency rooms or other urgent care facilities. Please do not forget to pack epi pens if there's a possibility you or your loved ones will need one while away from home. We tried to overnight a pen but FedEx refused the shipment because it was considered medical prescriptions & special documentation & licensing is required to ship internationally. My husband ended up flying to México to bring our daughter an epi pen. Back to the school! Our host family was the most amazing family! They had a daughter my daughter's age, lived in a gated community, & cooked some of the best food I have ever tasted! 5 star experience all the way! And it was nostalgic for me to return to the school I went to so long ago. I used to lay out by the pool & study between classes. Mexico still has the 4 hour siesta in the middle of the day so you can take a break or nap, eat, etc. it's lovely. Everything was wonderful and our daughter begged to extend her stay TWICE! Our entire family highly recommends Cemanahuac & if you can stay with Clara & her family you will not be disappointed!! My husband & I are hoping to retire in a few years and Cemanahuac is first on our list so that my husband can learn Spanish before we start globetrotting through Central & South America! Thank you Charlie for all of the extra time you spent with our daughter Amanda & for reassuring us that Cemanahuac was the best fit for our family! We look forward to seeing you again! Hopefully in a few years!

My experience at Livit was incredible. The classes are customized to your individual level. The…read moreclass sizes are small, but large enough to encourage learning and conversation amongst students. The teachers are incredible and so helpful. The exercises and examples used in the classes are easy to comprehend and facilitate rapid learning of the Spanish language. The lunches provided by Livit were fantastic. I enjoyed talking with all of the other students and the teachers during lunchtime. This helped to increase my conversational Spanish. Puebla is a great city. On the weekends, there was always plenty to do in the plazas and throughout the town. I enjoyed afternoons with our guides touring museums, walking around the plazas and streets, shopping, sitting in cafes and playing board games. Puebla is a safe city and easy to navigate getting around. We lived with a family arranged through the school and really enjoyed our time with them. They were super kind, helpful, and live very close to the school. It was great to eat with them daily and converse with them in Spanish about their family, customs, life, and interests. It definitely helped our Spanish skills. I would highly recommend attending the Livit school in Puebla to increase your fluency with the Spanish language. I hope to attend again. Katy K.

Livit is dedicated and very professional about an immersive Spanish experience. Prior to booking,…read morethey give you useful information, no "pie-in-the-sky" hot air. After you book, and before you get there, they follow through with helpful tips for getting around Puebla, including things to do. They also give you a written and oral pre-arrival Spanish assessment, which turned out to be pretty spot-on for me (and, from what I saw, for the vast majority of students). From day one, you notice their professionalism in business administration and customer service. They set you up with small-group classes (mornings, 5x/week) and with one-on-one city guides (afternoons, 3x/week); they serve you lunch (usually outside, in their delightful garden) with attention to your dietary needs (5x/week, with 3x/week being home-cooked); and they have excursions to intriguing places lined up every Thursday afternoon. The teachers are qualified and personable, the topics covered in class are interesting and engaging overall, and the instruction is solid. In combination with the one-on-one guidance in the afternoons and the weekly excursions with guided tours in easy-enough Spanish, not to mention a ton of things to do, see, and explore in Puebla, you do get a rich and varied immersion. Two thirds of my small-group experience were bogged down by that one student who would often monopolize the conversation and keep going down some rabbit hole, taking away from everyone else's speaking time. That could have used some classroom management from the teacher. Also, there were a couple of occasions when the teacher spent a lot of time writing up charts on the board that could have been handouts. That halted the conversation, and made it feel a little like just the kind of "school" that Livit says it avoids. That experience almost cost Livit one star in this review, but the last third saved it (if barely). Maru was a great teacher; she was animated and engaging, kept the class moving along, and did a good job keeping "that" student in check. Therefore, I'll say four stars for the small-group instruction, and still five stars total, because everything else went as well as it could possibly have! Livit really knows business management and customer service. They choose good "adjunct" people to be one-on-one afternoon guides. You get a different guide every week. Mine were all very friendly, and willing to engage with whatever tourist attraction or activity I felt like. And the Puebla area has so much of that to offer! I was able to make the most of my time, thanks in no small part to the effective afternoon guides Livit works with. I had turned to Livit for the kind of guided immersive experience that would work for me as a Spanish learner who had never been to Mexico before. And in the end, it came out a success!

I just returned from two weeks at the Anders Language School in Cuernavaca, Mexico. As an…read moreexperienced student of languages, I can safely say it was without any doubt the best workshop of any kind I have ever attended. As soon as the program began at breakfast on Monday morning, I felt as if I had been welcomed by old friends. Through leisurely conversation, the instructors were able to size up our ability and quickly develop an appropriate curriculum plan. I had four teachers throughout the two weeks, each offering a different aspect of language, history, and culture, completely in Spanish. Being at roughly the B1 level, I was immediately challenged with essays and conversation. I was amazed that I could discuss the readings and answer questions at a level I never knew I was previously able. The instructors corrected my grammar in a kind and gentle manner, and supported my learning beautifully. The physical plant, which had been a private home many years ago, is impeccably clean and the food is amazing. The program takes place in what would be like a boutique hotel. The rooms are cleaned daily, the beds are made, and the lawn and outdoor plants are watered. Meal time is a relaxing and fun experience during which everyone chats and enjoys home-style cooking. I do recommend at least one of the supplemental excursions because there is a lot of sitting and learning. Take walks in the very safe gated street or further afield in the colorful Tres de Mayo neighborhood. The instructors are not in the building during the weekend, so a trip by taxi into Cuernavaca "Centro" is a good idea. I highly recommend the Anders Language School in Cuernavaca, in fact, I would truly enjoy a return visit next year. No matter what level you find yourself in your language learning, you will be delightfully challenged and quickly see your progress. The teaching style is a mixture of reading, speaking, auditory comprehension, and some writing. No matter what the instructors have planned, there is always room for your own questions regarding vocabulary and grammar. As the website explains, this is one-on-one tutoring, which is a highlight of the program.

The excellent instructors (we each had rotating one-on-one sessions) were creative, patient, and a whole lot of fun. We enjoyed a very comfortable home that housed, in our case, four students. My wife and I had a large comfortable room with everything we needed. Every day we had delicious meals, a wonderful variety with more than enough to eat. The facility is impressive, well-maintained, and stocked with food, cookies, beer, wine, and coffee. There were outings to local restaurants where we enjoyed tacos, tostadas, tortas, and more. And of course, the restaurants had a large variety of cocktails, Mexican beers, and fruit juices. We built up our Spanish speaking skills and accelerated our progress toward becoming bilingual. We did not expect miracles in three weeks, but I do believe we made excellent progress while building our language foundations. If you want to take some serious steps toward learning Spanish this is a fantastic way to do it. By the way, it is easy to fly into Mexico City and Anders provides the option to have a driver meet you at the airport for the 90-minute ride to Cuernavaca. I strongly recommend this no stress way of traveling to the Anders Languages facility.

They have an actual building and a staff that has a curriculum. The director answered all of our questions in a timely manner. The other students had more experience talking but we 3 knew the grammar.
