There are many reasons to travel to Mexico:  history, culture, amazing beaches, mountains, and delicious food. And, of course, in Mexico you have the opportunity to study and practice Spanish! There is no better way to improve your language skills than by living and studying in a country in which the language is spoken. Cultural Embrace offers classes in beautiful Cuernavaca, known as the "eternal spring" city because of its pleasant weather and charming streets.

We partner with one of the most reputable language schools in Mexico to offer a variety of classes that are suited for students at all levels of Spanish. We specialize in having no more than five students assigned to a professor according to your skill level. This allows the instructor to give personal attention to each student so that the students can learn and master the Spanish language at a faster and more effective rate. Classes focus on conversation, vocabulary, composition, and listening. In order for you to maximize your time in Mexico, we also include additional activities such as salsa & merengue dance lessons, sports and games, cooking lessons, lectures, films, and more.

Please note that we offer more Spanish language lessons in other regions of Mexico. Sample locations for Spanish lessons are: Playa del Carmen, Oaxaca, Queretaro, Puerto Vallerta, Guanajuato, and more. Contact us for more details if you wish for a different location.
