My experience with COINED was really good. When I first arrived in Guatemala I did not speak Spanish, but after 5 weeks of classes I can understand and speak Spanish. The teachers at COINED are really good. They are patient, creative and fun. If you do not like your classes of something else, they will try their best to change it for you. I would definitely recommend this school to my friend. Es muy bueno!!!

What I loved about my exprience at COINED Guatemala was the hospitlity and the feeling of community and family. All of the staff and teachers truly care about each other and the students, and this environment is extremely beficial to the learning process. It was also easy to see that everyone here loves their work. I learned a lot of Spanish in jus two weeks, and I enjoyed every second of it.

This was my third stay at the school and I have only the highest praise for the school, the directors and the professors. I studied at two other schools in Antigua, and multiple schools elsewhere (Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama and Chile) and have found COINED in Anigua to be the best. If you are reading this... I am jealous of you that you are planning a tripo to Antigua and would highly recommend COINED in Antigua

It was a good experience to expand my understanding of the culture and the language. 5 days is just enough to cover the basics. The instructors were very goofgd at challenging us to speck and practice what we had learned each day. More visual tools would have been helpful we seemed to learn quickly when we had pictures to go along with the learning. It was difficult to have the classes so late in the day. Mornings would have been better so we could have participated in the activities that were planned by the school. I would like to thank Jorge for his assistance with my health, he did extra work to help me. Thank you... Our homestay was excellent. We enjoyed our family very much. The food was excellent and Ester was very helpful with our Spanish at each meal. I would highly recommend her home for students.

We booked the language school through Tucan Tours. The school was great. We only had a week (which in only enough time to get started) The instructors had us jump right in to learning the language. It was fund and challenging, our comprehension improved gramatically in a week, speaking will take lots of practice.

Overall the experience was excellent. The teachers all good (Alma, Diego, Flor & Francisco) and the classes weree fund and educational. My homestay was also very good. My only suggestion for improvement would be to improve the lighting at school and at the homestay. My eyes are 67 years old and need lots of light.

My time at COINED has been a more than wonderful experience. Though only here for a week, I quuickly noted how helpful and accommodating each member of the staff was. I learned very basic Spanish grammar (as my knowledge of the language prior to arrival was zero) and all lessons were taught very professional and knowledgable teachers. Should I have stayed longer, I would have left with the ability to converse in Spanish with ease. Antigua is absolutely Gorgeous and I never expected my homestay to be as accommodating, clar and comfortable. I took Salsa lessons all week and it was a blast! I seriously recommend this trip, but stay at least 2-3 weeks if you can!

I could not have asked for a better experience in Guatemala. The langue courses were carefully planned and the staff was very skilled. The cultural activities fave me a unique view of Guatemalan life. I hope to return as soon as possible.

I must say I fell in love with this tiny and enchanting city in Guatemala. Antigua seems to rest in past times. I loved learning Spanish in the beautiful gardens of the school.

I think I really lucked out with my teachers. They were both interesting and had creative ways of teaching. Karlita had us teach sometimes. Fredy had us interview people about concepts or vocab, so much fun. My favorite part was when we would stray from the grammar and Fredy would talk about history and Mayan Culture & the civil war. That is what I emailed home about all the history I was learning! They were patient with our mistakes, encouraged us to talk more. I will definitely be back someday. I will pass on this information to everyone in my home town! Thank you!

I really enjoyed my experience at the Spanish school of Antigua; all of the teachers and administrators I met were extremely kind and showed their most sincere willingness to help me live a positive experience here in the beautiful city of Antigua. This attitude made me more confident in learning Spanish and encouraged me to use my Spanish most of the time with the locals.
