Amigos del Sol Spanish School

I was looking for a different type of Spanish school, one that would emphasize conversation over grammar lessons. Amigos del Sol fit this requirement perfectly. For 1 week for 2 1/2 hour each weekday we would have non-stop conversations in Spanish with a teacher and either one other student or myself alone with the teacher. My teacher, Sandra, was excellent and carefully corrected our mistakes. The school director Rogelio treated everyone like family. It was an excellent experience and quite reasonable as well. I highly recommend this school.

I would recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn Spanish during there time in Oaxaca. It has a wonderful curriculum for teaching Spanish and is very structured. The owner is very kind and the teachers are as well. I personally had Chris as my teacher and would recommend him to anyone! He was a fantastic teacher and is easy to talk to which is important if you are taking a one on one class. If you are looking for a school, I’d recommend to not look anymore and go try and get Chris as your teacher, or whoever is available. I’m sure they are all wonderful at what they do!

I have been studying at Amigos Del Sol for a year. I recommend it enthusiastically. The teachers are friendly and committed; the lessons are structured to meet your level of knowledge; and the classes are so small that the teachers are able to recognize the particular sub-areas that you might want to improve -- whether it’s the subjunctive, a specific verb tense, indirect objects or just expanding vocabulary. For most of the year Rogelio, the director, has been my instructor. His knowledge of the structure of the language -- the grammar and syntax -- is deep, but his presentation is direct and understandable. My daughter has also been taking lessons two hours/week with him for 2 months and not only did she agree he’s an excellent teacher, but also told me she is sure she won’t learn as much in a full year of AP Spanish in the Fall (when we return to the US) as she did in the short time with Rogelio. When I came to the school in late August 2017, I knew almost no Spanish. I now feel that I can carry on a conversation with anyone on just about any topic. But more important, Amigos has led me to really enjoy learning Spanish and that’s the key to ultimate fluency.

I stayed in Oaxaca for a year and took Spanish classes with Amigos del Sol. They taught me a lot and also treated me like family! It is a great community were you can get to know fellow students and learn and practice your Spanish. I would 100% recommend this school to anyone looking to learn Spanish. The teachers are amazing and the school is just perfect.

My wife and I studied Spanish at Amigos del Sol in May 2019. We had 10 private classes spread across 3 weeks to fit in with our other activities in Oaxaca. Rogelio was very responsive to our initial enquiries and was enthusiastic and welcoming to us every day at school. Our main teacher Chris was friendly and professional (and more importantly, patient with us). The classes were interesting and pitched at the right level for our current competencies. We also had some classes with Estevan and he was likewise very friendly and knowledgeable. The staff communicated well with us and with each other and everything ran very smoothly. The school itself is clean, well-maintained and comfortable. We would definitely recommend Amigos del Sol to other potential students. Thanks team!
