Learn Spanish in Old Havana, Cuba

I booked a 2-week Spanish course (60 hours) in Havana Vieja, the old part of Havana. My teacher was Laritza, a young, highly motivated, professional and funny teacher. Apart from giving me a hard time in learning grammar (irregular verbs ARE a nightmare), she allowed several deep dive into Cuban history, culture, traditions and much more. This was extremely interesting! All people at the casa particular where I stayed are extremely helpful and friendly - within 2 hours and despite the jetlag they made me feel at home! They will do everything to make life as easy for you as possible - and this is really difficult given the continuous power cuts, the incredible head and air humidity. So having an aircon in your room is nice but does not help very much if there is no electricity ... At the end, you will turn to take your matress and take it out on the terrace, sleeping as everybody else outside. All in all a positive experience I will never forget.

Learning Spanish with a view of Old Havana is a unique experience. Due to the U.S. oil embargo, there were only about 8 students on average at the language school, and we all had one-on-one lessons. My lessons with Pablo always took place on the rooftop terrace. I learned a lot about Cuba, its people, and the country itself, and I significantly improved my Spanish. Breakfast and lunch were served in a small dining room. My wife and I had a clean room in a casa particular 500 meters from the language school. A highly recommended language school with very friendly staff and teachers.

I searched for a language school and I found Corazon Cuba. The booking was very easy and Tim Patterson told me everything about the price and sent the detailed program. I arrived later then I should in Cuba, because me plane was late. A Taxi was waiting for me with my name on a sign and brought me to my apartment. The living situation is in the middle of Havanna. In the night I had the opportunity to change money and to buy some water. At the next morning Carlos brought me to the school. After an introduction and made a test for my language skills. My teacher was Laritza and I was with her for the next 5 days. The learning situation is outside on the terraces of the school, which is new to Euopeans, but it was very nice. Also all the people from the school were nice and helpful. I loved being there and i am sure, that I will come back:) Thank you for everything.
