Spanish Language Schools in Cuba

Cuba is a living textbook, and history is still being written every day. Maybe you don’t have to worry about the Missile Crisis, the Bay of Pigs is a thing of the past, and the Hershey Train doesn’t lead to a chocolate factory anymore, but the thrill of living and studying Spanish in Cuba is timeless. Anyone can learn Spanish in Cuba while pigging pig out on ropa vieja (because Cuban sandwiches aren’t actually from Cuba), snorkeling along beautiful shores, and trying to hunt down Silvio Rodriguez. Between the spirit of the revolution and the Cuban rhythms, you’ll be singing praise (en español) to this colorful island in no time.

A Guide to Learning Spanish in Cuba

Locations

Looking like a giant landing strip from above, Cuba entices you to touch down and explore. Its steep shape makes it tricky to move extensively west-to-east, but the coastline is always a stone’s throw away and the mountain range that runs through the continent will leave you with a geographic buffet no matter your location.

A beacon of glorified destruction, Havana is the first choice for Spanish language study in Cuba. It’s an old-school treasure box, with history peeling from every surface. Hop on a guagua from Habana Vieja, stroll around the Hemingway Marina, and then head to Vedado’s restaurant district in a classic car. From sunsets along the Malecón to midnight martinis the underground jazz cafes, the opportunities for entertainment are endless. Still awake? Go salsa your heart out at La Casa de la Musica to finish the night. Want something more classical? Check out an exhibition at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes. Theatre geeks? Catch an avant garde show at the Gran Teatro. History and architecture buffs? Take a stroll along the 16th-century fortress keeping guard over the city. Whatever your interest, you’ll find plenty of distractions from your Spanish language lessons.

For a slower pace of life, head west to Viñales. Surrounded by tobacco fields and mogote mountains, life here revolves around watching oxen plow the fields and sipping piña coladas while lounging in rocking chairs on front porches. Between Spanish language classes, go on long bike rides, hop on a horse, or learn how to roll your own cigar. Touristic during the holidays, but lovely year-round, Viñales will offer plenty of free time and friends to practice your Spanish with.

In the southeast lies Santiago de Cuba, a dynamic bustle of smells and sounds. With strong influences from the nearby Dominican Republic and Haiti, Santiago is a sweaty masterpiece of political and historical struggle. The jineteros are numerous and reggaetón is blasting from every window, but there is undeniable charm beneath the layer of dust. There’s a reason Fidel Castro decided to plant the seeds of the Revolution here. Stay for a while, dig in, and see what all the buzz is about.

5 Weeks in Havana

Program: Learn Spanish, Dance & Culture in Cuba

I decided to treat myself to some time at a language school in Cuba, combining a fascination for a culture I knew little about with a love for the Spanish language and an interest in salsa dancing. I had taught myself Spanish using Duolingo and this program was my treat for having completed the app. Surprisingly I really knew a lot of Spanish before arriving, but the school was able to put me into an advanced class and was also wonderful in adapting group activities to make sure that I had ample opportunity to speak Spanish even when mixed with students at more beginning levels. The staff really care about the students and it all feels like one big family. Yes, there were sometimes the normal issues that unfortunately come with Cuba - electricity shortages or (temporary) no hot water - but I honestly didn't notice them at all. I had so much fun and would recommend this program to anyone - it is a great way to learn Spanish, see and learn about the country, and be instantly in a group of like-minded people all looking to explore.

Cuba, A Dream Come True!

Program: Learn Spanish, Dance & Culture in Cuba

I've always wanted to know Cuba, but as an American, I had a lot of fear and concern for my safety. That's where Corazón Cuba helped me the most. Having a "home base" with friendly, amazing people to help me navigate the cultural differences and become confident to walk alone in the streets of old Havana. It was an invaluable month-long experience for me and I made amazing friends from all over Europe, friends for life. Salsa classes, cultural tours of the city, trips to Viñales and Trinidad, we did so many things that pushed me past my comfort zone. It was an amazing experience. I do recommend a month-long stay to truly start to understand Cuban life and feel more at home. I recommend bringing antibiotics, medications, deodorant, mosquito spray, etc, as those things are not available in Cuba. Pack 1/2 your suitcase with gifts and donations... You will be glad you did. The Cuban people are so lovely, but you must remember the country is in difficult times and you are there to understand and have a better awareness about how you can help. It was a life changing and humbling experience. I highly recommend going to see Cuba for yourself!
