Guadalajara Language Center - 45500 San Pedro Tlaquepaque

Awesome school, the school offer a lot of activities beside class like food tour, hiking, city tour,parties etc. if you wanna enjoy study spanish also experience Mexico culture , stop searching, here is the place to be, they also provide the short term apt rental and homestay, pretty much everything, my teacher is Monica y Edith. both teachers are awesome, one of the best school in my life !! strongly recommend !!

I just spent 5 weeks in Tlaquepaque, learning Spanish at GLC and exploring the area through various activities and tours. I really enjoyed my time and learnt so much. My teacher (Monica) was fabulous and Wouter (owner of GLC) was an amazing resource. I also used GLC's accomodations: I first spent 2 weeks at a homestay and after that 3 weeks in an apartment. I was happy with both options and wish I could have stayed a lot longer. I absolutely recommend GLC, if you are looking to start learning Spanish or just wanting to improve, they have options for everyone!

I studied Spanish for 4 weeks in the Guadalajara Language Centre and it was an amazing experience. Studying Spanish here has been great, I feel way more confident in day to day situations and am able to have small conversations with people. I feel that in only 4 weeks with no prior experience in spanish, it exceeded my expectations. I regularly get compliments about my Spanish, people are very surprised that I just had Spanish classes for 4 weeks, which is all due to the great effort of the teachers. Besides the great classes, the Guadalajara Language Centre also offers a lot of (free) activities. Wouter, the owner, will take you hiking in the beautiful canyon nearby, you can visit lucha libre together in guadalajara (you pay your own ticket), there are free walking tours and a lot more. And if you decide to do something else and have some questions, Wouter is always very willing to help you. The language school is in Tlaquepaque, which is a beautiful little town, 30 minutes from Guadalajara. You can stay there but if you prefer Guadalajara, Ubers are around 80/100 pesos but another great options is the camion (bus 275b) for 7 pesos. I took it every day and never had any problems. All in all a great experience!

Very good spanish school! Teachers were very good and each with different teaching styles to suit your specific learning style. And Wouter the director is very good about organizing events and making sure everybody gets the most out of their stay. I stayed in the shared apartment and it was perfect! Best value for the money in my opinion.

I had an incredible experience at the Guadalajara Language Center! I took Spanish classes there during Feb/March 2020 and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The teachers are amazing and help you learn practical language skills, the director (Wouter) is well-connected and can point you toward anything you need in the city, and there are so many activities and excursions you can do while in Tlaquepaque such as walking tours, markets, bike tours, hiking, soccer, etc. I will definitely be coming back in the future.

My wife and I studied Spanish at the Guadalajara Language Center for one month, in Aug-Sept. 2021. We were very satisfied with the classes, and the friendly atmosphere of the school. It was like having a family in Guadalajara. A nice thing too about the GLC is that the owner, Wouter Stut, has a selection of apartments for rent as well, so we were able to arrange our classes and our accommodation with the school. Our apartment was only 5 blocks from the school, barely a seven-minute walk. Very convenient! Wouter also took us on several memorable excursions, to a nearby hot springs, to the archaeological ruins at Guachimontones, and up the dormant volcano of Nevado de Colima. All in all we had a great time at the GLC.

My family has been coming here for a couple of years now. Last year for three weeks and this year for a month. My daughter goes to a local Montessori school in the mornings, and my wife and I take private tutoring lessons in the morning. We also rent an apartment from the school, which is close to town, the school, and has every amenity we need. The owners name is Wouter and he is super responsive to any need that may arise. He is Dutch, but has lived in Mexico for many years and has a lovely family. He lives right near town and uses WhatsApp to respond quickly to anything that arises. It is nice having an English speaker who also knows the area so well just in case. Wouter not only runs a school and rents out apartments, he also arranges homestays and outings. When we arrived last year, he invited my family to join his at the zoo, and we had a great time. The school itself is close to the center of town, and has multiple classrooms and balcony space for both private tutoring and small classes. The prices are affordable and competitively priced. They will cater the content to what you want to work on, and even take you to local museums and coffee shops if you want. Tlaquepaque is an amazing town, it feels very safe, and you can't beat the culture. It is a tourist destination, but only for other Mexicans and Latin Americans. Restaurants, coffee shops, and art stores fill the streets, along with the sounds of Mariachi. The heart of town is around El Parián, and is closed to cars. It is only a 20 minute uber ride to the airport, to downtown Guadalajara, and only 40 minutes to Lake Chapala. And being a mile high, it is much cooler than the latitude suggest. The bit months are typically during spring in North America. In late June or early July, the rainy season comes and the weather cools to a high of about 80 degrees with daily thunder storms. It is a perfect summer temperature, and not very humid. I couldn't recommend the Guadalajara Language Center enough!

I can highly recommend GLC if you are looking for ways to improve your spanisch skills in Guadalajara. Wouter is super nice, the classes are well organized and worth every penny. I learned a lot in the time being and would always advice this school. Not just because it is very economical, but also because of the familiar atmosphere between the teachers and students and the free outside school activities that are offered. Wouter can also help you out if you are looking for a place to stay in Tlaqueparque, a quiet and lovely neighborhood of Guadalajara. 5 Stars, no doubt!
