"It was a great vacation and experience in learning Spanish at the same time!"

Alanna Kabolova, student from Russia

Classes and teachers were great! I have really improved my Spanish!
The housing was not perfect, but fine (2 bathrooms for 15 people is not enough).

"Studying a language with fun!"

Carina Gruber, student from Germany

I really enjoyed my time with Don Quijote. The Enforex School was a really good choice and every single morning I looked forward to school. The atmosphere at school was really relaxed and every single teacher I had was really helpful and nice. They all had different teaching techniques which was also really nice because it never got boring there. Unfortunately, the classes were sometimes really big due to the summer season and therefore the language levels of the students in one class were sometimes really different.

Home stays offer you a unique opportunity to experience Spanish or Latin American life while living in the home of a local Spanish speaking family. You'll speak Spanish all day long, out of necessity and fun and interest in the family life you see unfolding around you. Accommodation in a host family allows you to get the most out of your language course as it gives you a privileged view of daily life in another culture.

About home stay:

Your host "family" may be a family with parents and children or a single parent who takes in students because he or she enjoys the company. You wouldn't be the first to go out on the town together, or to keep in contact with your family after your return home.

You'll eat at local hours - usually later than what you may be accustomed to- and you'll eat local foods, although the family will take your preferences into account as much as possible.
You will be given your own house keys, so you can come and go as you please. You will also be able to receive phone calls at the family home.

You can choose to share a student apartment with four or five don Quijote students. In a student apartment you'll prepare your own meals and interact with don Quijote students of all ages and backgrounds. We recommend you make a pact about speaking Spanish in the apartment; other shared languages often take students away from Spanish language practice.

Although the student apartments are not very luxurious, they include all the basic facilities: a bed, table or desk, chair and a closet wardrobe.
Each student apartment has a living room with TV, a fully equipped kitchen, a washing machine and an iron.
No telephones are available in student flats; we suggest you use public telephones or local calling centers.
You share the kitchen and the bathroom and, together, keep the house clean.
