| This is my ninth week at Ecela Viña del Mar and I've enjoyed every one of my 45 days here. The teachers are very professional and very informal at the same time. They skillfully tailor the classes to the needs of the students. During the Monday welcomes and the Friday goodbyes, as well as during all of the breaks, everyone talks and jokes around together. The afternoon activities have included a wide range of things: going salsa dancing in the evening, walking on the dunes and visiting museums, to name just a few. I'd be happy to study 9 more weeks here! Becky Walzer | |
| Attending Ecela´s spanish school in Vina del Mar has been a highlight of our trip to South America. My wife and I initially enrolled for 5 weeks and signed on for 4 more after that. All of the teachers and staff were so incredibly nice, patient, flexible, and extremely helpful, not to mention exceedingly knowledgeable. They were friendly but professional, and classes were both challenging and a lot of fun. Most importantly, we were very pleased with how quickly we learned and improved our spanish abilities. We enjoyed the activities and the bottomless cups of coffee (or tea), but it was really the friendly atmosphere created by teachers and staff that contributed to such a positive experience.
