Oh, how I wish I had read these reviews BEFORE signing up for Level 2 Spanish at CEPE-Polanco. The…read moreteacher I had here was AWFUL. You could tell that she did not enjoy teaching and helping students progress...was just collecting a paycheck. Equally bad: They crammed 14 people in our class so there was no time for us to truly practice conversation with the "teacher". SAVE YOUR MONEY: You will get better results from an online class than you ever will from CEPE-Polanco. You're welcome!

The review that I read by Jen K is so misleading that I just felt compelled to write a review :) I…read moream sure it's a genuine review, But I think this was a bad experience because of one bad teacher. I came to Mexico to learn Spanish. While I was in the US, I researched schools in Mexico city and I found that private schools were heavily advertised. I came here and visited two of them. Frida Language school and International House. Both seemed good but were expensive. Frida was $ 180 a week (approx) and International House was $ 220 a week (approx). International House seemed more professional. But the issue with these schools was that they had 4 hours of classes a day, which for me seemed like a lot. And like I mentioned before $ 220 is a lot for a week, considering that it would take anyone 6 months to learn a new language. CEPE Polonco is amazing. They have different intensity levels, so you can choose to take classes twice a week, 3 time or 4 times. I've taken the 3 times a week for 2.5 hours per class to a total of 7.5 hours a week. That gives me enough time to memorize stuff and think about what was taught. The course is divided into Basico 1,2,3,4. I am in Basico 1 and it will run for 10 weeks totaling 75 hours of classroom time. The cost is Approx $ 360 for Bascio 1. The teacher is amazing and the course curriculum is fantastic. We have escucha (listening), Games to make memorizing stuff easier, there are constant revisions of what was taught and overall it's a fun class. The best part is that we are being taught Spanish in Spanish...with minimal use of English. I found this odd at first, but Now that I've gone through the system, I appreciate it a lot more. I highly recommend this to everyone.
