Spanish Experience Center - 48350 Puerto Vallarta

Excellent experience. The program is well constructed. The teachers and staff are all welcoming and make you want me immerse yourself in the language and the culture. I had the best 2 weeks there. I signed up for another course prior to completing my initial. The extracurricular activities were excellent as well. I especially enjoyed the "intercambio" where native Spanish speakers that were in school to learn English met with us. Thank you all for a wonderful experience. See u again soon.

In the summer of 2018, together with a friend, I did a 6 week Spanish course at the Spanish Experience Center in Puerto Vallarta. My conclusion to the 6-week course is absolutely positive. This school school offers much more than I expected. These are absolutely professionally trained teachers, who ensure a maximum of learning success through precise learning strategies that are individually adapted for their students. Especially the passion of the teachers to really teach their students the language was absolutely fascinating for me. Every day I had the absolute anticipation of the lessons and in the end I made extraordinary progress. I increased my Spanish level from the end of A1 / beginning A2 to B1. This school is definitely characterized by absolute professionalism, individual learning strategies, many years of experience, precise organization, and above all the personal passion to really teach the language to the students. I can recommend the school with absolutely the best.

I spent a week here, 5 hours a day, in private lessons and had a great time as well as learned a lot. I came out more confident in my skills. The Center is so well set up to teach Spanish with many fun and interesting extra curricular activities that reinforce what you learn. My teachers were incredible - they have very diverse educational backgrounds and interests - and were unbelievably good at what they do. They gave me additional knowledge of Latin American cultures which is helpful when communicating in Spanish. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn how to speak Spanish.

Great place to learn Spanish within Puerto Vallarta...very friendly clean accommodating instructors are well-versed in English and Spanish to help new students at all levels we were super impressed and will continue to go back ...they also offer guided trips into cultural areas like Saint Sebastian for example

I spent two weeks learning with Spanish Experience Center during a recent vacation in Puerto Vallarta. I took two 50 minute classes a day 9:00a-10:50 with Sara and Jovanny, then had the rest of the day to relax on the beach. I had taken Spanish in high school and college but wanted to expand my background. This school was perfect. They gave me a placement exam before I arrived so that my lessons were tailored for my level (very very basic). I can’t recommend it enough. A very authentic experience. Make sure to take a school led trip to San Sebastián if it’s offered!

Best Spanish instruction I have ever had! I came to Puerto Vallarta to spend five weeks in Mexico learning Apanish. I am so glad I landed on this school because it exceeded my expectations! So much so that I am changed my travel plans so that I can return for another five weeks. I work online full time and selected three hours daily of private lessons. I can confidently say I improved my Spanish in just five weeks! I had three teachers over the course of five weeks. Each brought their own individual strengths while being so helpful, kind, and patient. They will immerse you in the language and culture! Even though I had private classes I was able to interact with the other students during the weekly (optional) group dinners. It's wonderful to meet the other like minded students and to feel such a community vibe. This school is a really special place with special people. Gracias a todos y nos vemos in Enero!!

I was initially worried about how difficult re-learning Spanish was going to be. I had 3 years of high school Spanish coursework and earned college credit 10 years prior to attending this school, but I hadn't spoken Spanish regularly in 6+ years Simply put, I was worrying way too much. I fell in love with Puerto Vallarta, the school, Patty's delicious authentic Mexican lunches, the food, and the amazing friends that I made. I went out regularly with friends from the school in the evenings and practiced my Spanish fluency in restaurants, bars, taxis, and numerous other places. During my 3 week stay, I reached an A2 level in Spanish Language competency. The classes were challenging, but you get 10 minute breaks every hour. However, I highly recommend the conversation classes if you are able to attend. These classes were wonderful for building my confidence, pronunciation and practicing my grammar that I had learned during my earlier classes. For those worried about safety, I felt very safe in the school, Puerto Vallarta and additional trips with the school. I had a small medical emergency during class, but one of the teachers (Javier) drove my husband and I to a local clinic (Medisim) where I was able to receive prompt, affordable medical care. The LGBT+ community in PV is amazing and friendly to new people. Most people in PV speak English, but I highly recommend doing your best to only speak Spanish to improve!

I decided to attend the Spanish Experience Center after a bit of research and seeing nothing but great reviews. I am always a bit skeptical of reviews, but honestly the extremely high level of teaching, the excellent, flexibility and care are above and beyond any of the great reviews that others have provided. And beyond that, there is an honest-to-goodness family feeling about this place. The school is owned by some of the primary teachers and there is a tangible pride in everything they do. Moreover, everybody there REALLY wants you to learn and appreciate the culture as much as español. The Thursday dinners and weekend outings are incredibly well planned, and receive rave reviews from all attendees. I actually everything so much that I decided to change my travel plans and stay another week. If not for Christmas I think I still might be down there, but for sure I will return!
