My Spanish Is So Much Better Now

February 28, 2026by: Darby Garner - United States

Program: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America

I had the absolute best time taking Spanish classes though Maximo Nivel! My teachers were incredible, helping me through new subjects and reviewing older ones I already knew. I feel like my Spanish skills are so much more well rounded and I have a much better foundation. Their expertise made me feel much more confident in using what I was learning out the real world. Not only were they incredibly helpful with the nuances of Spanish conjugation and pronunciation, but they also provided incredible insights into Cusco and Peru. Some of the best experiences I had were recommended by my teachers. I am so grateful to them and Maximo for making an already awesome experience even better. My only regret is that I didn´t stay longer. There was so much to see and do, I am already planning my next trip back!

Tania goes above & beyond

Tania is so expressive which helps especially in the beginning of learning. I love her organization, style and flexibility to change to a game if my brain was overloaded. She was very encouraging that I could speak Spanish. She was amazing at incorporating current events so I was learning how to talk about every day things.

Learning a new language

I first came to Maximo without speaking any Spanish. All of the staff is very nice and helpful regarding any problems or questions you might have. In my 4 weeks there, I learned a lot. I can now most of the time understand things when people are speaking in spanish or I at least get the context. The class was a nice mix of speaking, listening and writing and all new things got practiced in conversations right away. I really enjoyed my time there!
