Great experience

Took a week long language immersion. Was very helpful to improve my language speaking skills and would recommend. Accomodation and a bit more immersive activities by school would have been great but Antigua is a city that forces you to speak Spanish so you learn quick.

Definitely recommended

I am 69 years old and trying to improve my Spanish. I have found Maximo Nivel to be very well organized and helpful. I am taking a group class of high intermediate Spanish 4 hours per day with 2 more hours of private lessons. My teacher, Jairo, is very experienced and is able to be an effective instructor and fun at the same time. I have no reservations about recommending this language school. Plus Antigue is beautiful

Muy divertido

It was fun and interesting with good content. highly recommend to those thinking of taking classes abroad. I stayed for one week and it helped a lot with grammar. Activities outside of class were fun as well.
