Livit Immersion Center - 72530 Puebla

Quality teaching and a very honest, decent staff. I highly recommend this school

A great school for learning Spanish, teachers are very friendly

Over the years, I have attended several Spanish immersion programs in both Mexico and Argentina, and Livit Immersion Center was by far the best. I participated in the four-hour morning instruction and my husband and I stayed in an on-site private apartment (more about that below). The full program offers lunch, two hours in the afternoon with guides to practice conversation and visit places in the interesting and historic City of Pueblo, a weekly excursion, and a homestay with a local family. The teachers at Livit are excellent. The school itself is bright and welcoming and comfortable. My husband, who speaks Spanish, and is a linguistic anthropologist, reported that he has seen a greater improvement in my Spanish than ever before. The whole atmosphere of the school is relaxed and permission is given to speak Spanish as best you can without feeling uncomfortable. At the same time, the lessons are aimed at speaking Spanish well, with a variety of activities and drills. Given that I seem to have a second language learning and speaking disability, I really appreciated the patience of the teachers. I also took the online classes offered by Livit via Skype for three days a week for a month prior to arriving in Puebla, and am currently taking a one day a week class since returning. I highly recommend these classes. They would be an excellent way for people who cannot travel to Puebla for the immersion program to learn or improve their Spanish. My instructor was very good at identifying my strengths and weaknesses and creating an individual program for me. The onsite apartment where my husband and I stayed while I took classes at Livit was great. The apartment was quite private and very quiet, especially since Mexico, in general, can be pretty noisy. It was located at the back of the main house and language school facility, all of which is on a private street. The apartment is reached from outside steps off a lovely side garden, and had an automatic light at night. While small, the space was very well designed. The lower floor has a nicely equipped kitchen with good counter space and a clever dropdown table, and a little sitting area with a comfortable couch, TV, and a good-sized worktable. The upstairs included a bedroom with lots of storage areas, and an enclosed. The apartment is light and airy and attractive, with lots of windows and a skylight, and you can see “Popo,” the volcano, outside the bedroom window. There is another smaller accommodation for guests at the front of the property. The area felt very safe, and was only a couple of blocks from the Plaza del Carmen, which is a pleasant leafy place to hang out, surrounded by a couple of coffee shops and an excellent ice cream store, with a zillion flavors.

Awesome two week immersion class! Great overall experience. I definitely recommend it. The people who run the school are awesome. Our classroom teacher superb, guides in the afternoon hip (que padre), the home stay generous and accommodating, the food amazing, the field trips mind blowing, and Puebla is awesome and safe. Go...

Great experience. High quality instruction by owners who care about the product. They were able to provide each student a level that suited their needs, Warm and intimate environment. Puebla is a great under-rated Mexican city with great food, activities and a good place for walking. I give Livit the highest recommendation and endorsement.

Working with the Livit Immersion Center has been an amazing experience! I am taking a series of private lessons with Scott via zoom. In the first lesson, he was very quick to determine my current level of Spanish proficiency. He then created a customized curriculum just for me. Scott is extremely flexible and didn’t push a ‘one size fits all program’ that would force me to waste time on concepts I already knew. His style of teaching allows me to focus on relevant topics at my pace. My favorite part of working with Scott is that he takes the time to personalize every lesson. He creates the homework to include specific questions and topics we discussed in the lesson, which reinforces my comprehension. He continues to exceed my expectations every time we meet. If you are looking to deepen your knowledge of Spanish, definitely consider Livit Immersion Center. I highly recommend their programs for new and experienced students.

This is a great school for people who want to study Spanish as a second language. The directors are great people. They are experts at teaching Spanish, they are attentive, paciente, and generous with their knowledge. Courses are personalized to meet the goals of each student. The spaces are comfortable and inviting. The location is just a short walk from the colonia center of Puebla. Livit is a great option for those who want to learn more about the Spanish language and the culture of Mexico!

Incredible experience. 4 hours of classroom work plus 2 hours of conversation with guides in the community. You will work hard and your Spanish will improve. Everything well organized and professional. Covid protocols are excellent. Home cooked lunch is included. The hosts feel like family by the end. If possible, stay in one of their apartments. Also, Puebla is a great choice: safe, friendly and lots do. Don't hesitate.
