 When I came to Guatemala I didn’t know at which school I was going to study, but after talking with Nora for just a little while I knew it was going to be Guatemalensis. The last 7 weeks of classes, and excursions to different villages and volcanoes has been a blast! All of the teachers, as well as the directors of Guatemalensis are more than eager to converse with and help the students whenever we need it. The main objective of the school  really is to help the student and make sure we get the best possible education. When I first started classes here I didn’t have much previous education in Spanish. Because of this the first couple weeks were a little challenging when trying to converse with the teachers but they were more than patient with me and this made learning all the easier. After 7 weeks I believe I have a good feel for the language but there is still a lot for me to learn. I look forward to continuing my Spanish education in the near future, and when I do come back I will definitely study again at Guatemalensis! I Would recommend this school to anyone and everyone who wishes to study in Xela, Guatemala. It has been an experience I will never forget!. Craig Segebarth, U.S.A.
