Spanish Institute of Puebla

I came to the school for 3 weeks but decided to stay for 6 weeks. Excellent and well organized program. After 4 weeks I was feeling a bit overextended and they were wonderful in accommodating my needs. Puebla is a lovely place and getting to know the people there was very enriching. My biggest apprehension was doing a homestay but my host family was really great 👍

As a former student at SIP, I want to share my experience and the results I obtained after 6 weeks of private instruction and host-family stay. I came with a weak B1-level understanding of Spanish and left with a strong B2 level competency. My instructors were thorough, patient, engaging, and knowledgable. I found the connection to the Mexican culture, a key focus of the institute, enriching to my understanding of the language, because at the higher levels of language, the connection to culture cannot be ignored to obtain understanding. The staff is polite and professional. Additionally, the 2 hours of conversation with a local is extremely useful, and unique relative to the other program I have recently completed in Spain. My host family was a delight and communicative, and I am genuine friends with them. Obviously, this likely varies, but I was impressed by the thought put into this. In regards to Puebla, my family was quite worried about my safety in Mexico (I am from Texas). I can tell you that I did not once feel unsafe in Mexico, at any of the excursions, or even in Mexico City. I have honestly felt less safe in my hometown, Houston, on occasion. I believe if you come ready to engage, spend personal time studying and reviewing your material outside of class, **commit to use only Spanish to communicate**, and meaningfully engage in lessons and welcome correction in your interactions, you will advance rapidly in this program. I will also say, for the price, it really is impressive. Also, everyone should visit Puebla, in general. I highly recommend this program for any and all interested in serious advancement of their understanding and application of the Spanish language.

This Institute is a great place to learn or improve your Spanish language at any level. The program is totally student- centered for individual need. It is intensive yet flexible. There are many instructors to fit your learning style. Everyone is open and friendly. The total immersion into the city life is enriching. I took a three-week course and plan to return for more training.

The best Spanish immersion program I've ever had. 100% recommended
