Attending Ecela’s Spanish school in Viña del Mar has been a highlight of our trip to South America. My wife and I initially enrolled for 5 weeks and signed on for 4 more after that. All of the teachers and staff were so incredibly nice, patient, flexible, and extremely helpful, not to mention exceedingly knowledgeable. They were friendly but professional, and classes were both challenging and a lot of fun. Most importantly, we were very pleased with how quickly we learned and improved our Spanish abilities. We enjoyed the activities and the bottomless cups of coffee (or tea), but it was really the friendly atmosphere created by teachers and staff that contributed to such a positive experience.
