Teaching English is one of the only programs Adelante Abroad offers to Beginner Spanish Speakers, and Quito, Ecuador, is one of the best places to teach English!

Pro tip: Bring some materials from home, like your local Newspaper and English Magazines, to build challenging lesson plans.

My Experience With Adelante in Ecuador

July 09, 2025by: Chloe Yue - France
5

This was my second time doing an Adelante program, and it was once again an incredible experience. My experience with Adelante the second time around was even greater! The Ecuador program is truly an excellent opportunity to immerse oneself in Ecuadorian culture, become fluent in Spanish, and gain valuable work experience. Adelante connects you with talented Spanish teachers who make learning Spanish practical and fun. The housing was in a perfect location, and the host family was welcoming and kind. My internship in Quito was enriching. I learned a lot in my two months, and I was able to work outside in the city and with the community as well. I had a great time, and Adelante helped everything run smoothly and safely.
