It was a big decision for me to go to Meztli, because I found myself with a month to spare, but not…read morea huge budget, and as a social worker, it's been really important for me to learn spanish. All I can say is, IT WAS THE BEST DECISION EVER! I stayed for a month--which means I had EVERY teacher there is at Meztli. Every single teacher there genuinely wants to be there, which is probably the most important part of it: they love it, and they love the students.
Secondly, their methods are so effective. One of my favorite things is that they rotate your teachers (one teacher for grammar; then after break, a new teacher for conversation). You don't get used to one way of speaking or teaching, and it keeps you on your toes. I also did 2 hours of private classes after group classes, with two different teachers all 4 weeks.
Staying with a host family was a dream for me, and I know i'll be in touch with them for years to come. The way the school is directed and run is so thoughtful. Sara, the director, truly cares for every students happiness and safety and experience overall. The outings are so fun, and EXTREMELY reasonably priced. and by the way, yoga is a huge benefit. it's taught so well, and it taught me verb tenses, directions, and body parts in no time. Cannot wait to go back.
Meztli, si tu estas leyendo, te extraño! Gracias por todo, nos vemos a pronto en Skype! Me digo a mismo, cantas, no llore!!! :-)
