"Raul is an excellent Spanish teacher capable of adapting to the needs of the student, whether the basics for a beginner, or more advanced lessons for those with experience. His style of teaching is relaxed and friendly, yet structured in a manner conducive to understanding practical, usable Spanish. He was not only my instructor, but became my good friend. I highly recommend learning Spanish from Raul."
"I lived and worked in Managua and took Spanish lessons from Maria Elena and Raul for several months in 2001. I highly recommend them as teachers. They have very good technique and materials, are intelligent people, and are very pleasant to have as teachers. In fact, I had Spanish lessons from many teachers in Guatemala and El Salvador, and Maria Elena and Raul were the best teachers I had in Central America."
"I had the pleasure of taking Spanish lessons in Granada in my study abroad program in the spring semester of 2004. I came away with not only a much stronger grasp on the language, but I was also able to relate to and interact with people better than I ever thought I would. I was able to use my Spanish knowledge to get accepted into a volunteer program in Mexico the next year at the Don Bosco foundation."
"My three week trip to Granada was incredible. The school is pleasant and the teachers are exceptional."
"What a great experience! My teacher and all of the teachers at Nicaragua Spanish Schools know how to gauge your learning level and design the perfect curriculum for each student. Raul, Darling and my teacher Yen are all helpful and trustworthy people. I would highly recommend short-term and long-term visitors to Granada to take advantage of the great language-learning experience offered at this school."
"This school has been a wonderful experience! I spent 4 weeks studying in November and I am currently finishing up 2 more weeks. Activities included touring local sights and surrounding towns. It was a unique way to experience the culture! This school has a very personal touch, is very friendly."
"I contacted the director of Nicaragua Spanish School and he was able to make arrangements to get me to Granada from Managua, and provide housing with only 2 days notice. I have found the school to be quite nice and challenging."
"This school is undoubtedly one of the cheapest and best ways to get your full Spanish immersion in Nicaragua. My professor was knowledgeable, patient, thorough, fun and super awesome! He taught me well in two weeks."
"Four of us with varying degrees of Spanish proficiency chose Nicaragua Spanish Schools on the basis of their reputation and emphasis on one-on-one lessons. None were disappointed, and all of us felt we had taken a leap forward after five days of two-hour lessons."
"I spent 2 weeks in this amazing school. Everything was professional from the beginning. Activities were super nice and actually really helpful to speak Spanish outside of the class in a fun activity."
"I am living with a host family who does an excellent job taking care of me, from delicious meals to even doing my laundry!"
