ANDERS LANGUAGES MEXICO

Experiencia positiva: I spent a week at Anders Language Institute in Cuernavaca, Mexico in June 2025. Be aware that the director of the institute, Peter/Bart/Pedro, is not onsite; he lives in Spain. The onsite director will be making all the decisions that determine what kind of experience you have — most importantly who your teacher will be each day. Even more important to know: the instructional model is sitting for long stretches of time being tutored 1 on 1. That model appealed to me from afar, but in fact it was very difficult for me to sit still for so long. I’m a teacher and I’m used to moving around.

Experiencia fantástica: I just returned from two weeks at the Anders Language School in Cuernavaca, Mexico. As an experienced student of languages, I can safely say it was without any doubt the best workshop of any kind I have ever attended. As soon as the program began at breakfast on Monday morning, I felt as if I had been welcomed by old friends. Through leisurely conversation, the instructors were able to size up our ability and quickly develop an appropriate curriculum plan. I had four teachers throughout the two weeks, each offering a different aspect of language, history, and culture, completely in Spanish. Being at roughly the B1 level, I was immediately challenged with essays and conversation. I was amazed that I could discuss the readings and answer questions at a level I never knew I was previously able. The instructors corrected my grammar in a kind and gentle manner, and supported my learning beautifully. The physical plant, which had been a private home many years ago, is impeccably clean and the food is amazing. The program takes place in what would be like a boutique hotel. The rooms are cleaned daily, the beds are made, and the lawn and outdoor plants are watered. Meal time is a relaxing and fun experience during which everyone chats and enjoys home-style cooking. I do recommend at least one of the supplemental excursions because there is a lot of sitting and learning. Take walks in the very safe gated street or further afield in the colorful Tres de Mayo neighborhood. The instructors are not in the building during the weekend, so a trip by taxi into Cuernavaca “Centro” is a good idea. I highly recommend the Anders Language School in Cuernavaca, in fact, I would truly enjoy a return visit next year. No matter what level you find yourself in your language learning, you will be delightfully challenged and quickly see your progress. The teaching style is a mixture of reading, speaking, auditory comprehension, and some writing. No matter what the instructors have planned, there is always room for your own questions regarding vocabulary and grammar. As the website explains, this is one-on-one tutoring, which is a highlight of the program.

Experiencia fantástica: Location: Seville, Spain Had an incredible experience and would highly recommend! We did the 5 day/9 hours program. The program included breakfast & lunch with very good. They worked around my food allergies, too. Great atmosphere in house. Teachers were great. I think the 2 week session, if you can swing it, would be better than 5 days. We cannot wait to go back!! Thank you for an amazing adventure! We took train to Madrid before we left and practiced Spanish before heading back to US.

Experiencia fantástica: Lots of learning! Great teachers that teach in a variety of styles. Good food nice housing. Lots of adventures! Great immersion program! You will be speaking Spanish all the time with the other students and the teachers that are really patient and good!

Experiencia fantástica: Anders Immersion in Cuernavaca, Mexico was great. The one to one instruction was tailored to my needs. The meals were delicious. The residence offered privacy and a comfortable room with internet and cable access. I'm thinking about returning in the near future.
