It´s a really interesting and amazing experience. Surely, I will recommend this program to my colleagues who will come to Mexico to work. I really benefited from the conversation program in the afternoon and having the opportunity to have a conversation with native speakers.

I have done language immersion programs in the past, with very mixed results. This program blew the others away. I learned more español during three weeks in Puebla than I learned Italian in several months living in Italy. I will absolutely recommend this program to friends and family back home.
