Frida Spanish Language School - 06100 Ciudad de México

We spent 2 weeks studying at Frida Immersion and had the BEST time. Our teachers, Alberto and Hector, were great and the small classes are perfect. The teaching style is very much focused on making you speak, which we found very helpful and the best way to learn. . Between our classes, the daily community events the school offers, and staying at the residence, we made great friends that we still keep in touch with. The school provides a great foundation and resources to continue learning even after you leave. The school is definitely worth it and really is more than just a school if you get involved. I would highly recommend this school! Also I think it's best to stay at least 2 weeks - we really wished we had time to stay longer

Taking a week of classes here was the best part of my trip! I did the basic option of 4 hrs/day and improved a lot in 5 days. The teachers are fun and make the classes engaging. You also meet a really interesting cross section of people. You won’t regret it! Also, shout to Fernanda and Davíd, they were great!

My experience here was fantastic. The administrative in-processing procedures were a little confusing and disorganized but the instruction was great. I took two weeks of private courses and my instructor David was able to teach to my individual learning style and needs. He pushed me farther than I knew I could go and I am grateful for the experience. I will definitely attend Frida Language School again, but next time for more than two weeks.

We had a very positive experience with the school. I found the school by searching online, and was not sure what to expect when I arrived. The online reviews can be helpful, but students have varying experiences, depending on their attitude, expectations, circumstances, classmates and teachers. In our case, I had several email exchanges with the staff to explain what I wanted, and the school delivered as promised. Fernanda was very helpful with placement and setting things up. She chose the perfect teacher, Diego, for private lessons. He was knowledgeable, engaging and fun.

I spent a month at Frida and I really enjoyed it. The teachers are enthusiastic, very well informed and remarkably patient given my often terrible memory. The classes are small so then it's easy to get to know the other members who were genuinely lovely and easy to get along with. On Friday there's often a class trip to a museum or a significant historical place for which you'd need to prepare a small 5-minute speech. These were really interesting and a clever way to break up the week. I did the beginners Spanish class and I felt that when I left I'd had a very good introduction to Spanish and I was in a great place to continue my studies.

I recommend this school where I took a 2 week super intensive course, which is a combination of group and private lessons. My teachers were very well prepared and professional. I did search for other options but they, as mentioned in other comments, were either not located in a good neighborhood close to the main attractions, or didn't have groups of all levels open since they didn't have that many students booked and wanted me to be in a conversational class with different levels which I was of course not willing to do, but Frida is in front of the Sonora stop station and also in one of the best neighborhoods and popular ones and offers groups of all levels most of them starting every Monday. Furthermore I liked there is no registration fee. To get the most out of it I recommend booking more than a week, this is to keep expectations of learning realistic. I do believe this is a school that selects the best teachers in the city.

I took one week of classes at Intermediate 2 level - and loved it! The class size was small, so every student was able to practice their Spanish during discussions. My teacher Alberto was super nice and did well at teaching us what we wanted to learn/practice. Buying the book is optional, but I found it useful. I also took private lessons with Yulma, 2-hrs a day after or before the main class. These were a great way to focus in on grammar and whatever else I find particularly tricky. She was kind, helpful, and patient! I really enjoyed my time with her. In addition to the quality instruction, the school has a very social environment, so I was able to make friends with people from all over the world! I really liked that part. I also stayed in the dorms, which was awesome. I had my own room just a few floors up from where classes are held. There you have access to shared bathrooms and a kitchen. Would recommend staying there!

I was in CDMX with my boyfriend for 3 weeks in December 2018, and we took private classes at Frida Spanish Language School the whole time. It became a kind of home base for us while in the city, and we looked forward to our classes every day. We shopped around a bit For language schools when we arrived and ultimately chose Frida school because of the flexible start and end dates, homey atmosphere and the enticing smells wafting in from the bakery next door :) Teachers and staff were warm, friendly, and encouraging. Most teachers are university students or recent grads with degrees in linguistics, so they have a deep understanding of the Spanish language and language acquisition in general. After 30 hours of private lessons I felt much more confident with my conversational skills and grasp of more advanced grammar. In addition to classes, Frida School offers guided outings to experience cultural events in and around CDMX. We took advantage of the opportunity for guided outings to Teotihuacan and the Lucha Libre. It saved us a lot of time and hassle trying to organize the trip and we had a lot of fun talking with our guide and his wife. Most amazing of all, my teacher went out of her way to organize a group outing to Xochimilco, and we actually got to participate in a posada there-not something we ever would have been able to experience on our own as outsiders. Overall, I highly recommend this school to any travelers wishing to improve their Spanish in a short period of time and connect with the city!
