Wow, it was an amazing and unforgettable time at ECELA!

"I came with only a few words of Spanish and left with so much more than expected.the very good and friendly teachers who make learning Spanish fun and interesting.

"I enjoyed my time so much that I spontaneously decided to stay 2 weeks longer than originally planned and I wouldn’t hesitate one second to come back if I had the chance.

Rich HanceUnited States

I’ve been to four of ECELA’s schools, and as a Spanish teacher myself I applaud their efforts in creating an enjoyable atmosphere for learning Spanish at all levels from beginner to advanced.

"They are more than just language schools. They are learning communities that support the sometimes challenging process of learning another language.

"The teachers and support staff are the key to the success.

My experience in Chile with ECELA was the best experience of my life. The school is very good, and the staff is very friendly, kind, and professional.

"I really liked all of the school trips, meet-ups, and parties that I went to while I was there.I studied at Ecela for six weeks, and I learned quite a bit of Spanish with all of the instructors, who were really good.

"Another thing that I liked a lot was meeting people from different countries and cultures.

"And I liked Chile a lot because the people there are “LA RAJAAAAA!”

Jon BazelyUnited Kingdom

When I arrived I did not speak any Spanish, or even know much about South American culture. The basics of the language were explained to me carefully and thoroughly with full support of the teaching staff.

"The lessons themselves were very fulfilling as they used real life scenarios and events to teach various aspects of vocabulary.

"During my time there I took part in many extra-curricular activities and enjoyed every single one, feeling many of them to be an important part of the learning experience.

"At the end of my time there I felt that I had the ability and confidence to interact with Spanish speaking people.
