FAQs

What level of Spanish do I need to participate?

None! Or, you could improve your skills. The local language schools have options for a focus on conversational language or learning areas of your choice. As part of the program, you’ll complete a brief, informal placement exam and have a program orientation upon arrival.

You’ll have access to the school 7 days a week, but many people opt to learn Monday-Friday. At the schools you’ll have comfortable areas to study, community of students, friendly staff, and social activities.

Choose from host families, hotels, or hostels.

For each location, a program representative will meet you at the airport and accompany you to your host family home or lodging. 

La Antigua is a charming town with chocolate making courses, nearby coffee farms, inexpensive restaurants and cafes, crafts, and more. Within a few hours are excursions including the popular Lake Atitlan, great for a weekend getaway. Many participants also add a few days after programs to travel. With other students and volunteers around and weekly activities either planned or suggested by the program, it’s not difficult to meet new people or find something to do!

Enroll through Máximo Nivel’s booking system and a friendly, knowledgeable program advisor will reach out.
