Total Immersion Spanish... really

At Juan Sisay, we dont just claim to be a total immersion Spanish school, we are. Classes are 5 hours daily of one-on-one instruction, and afternoon activities can be another one to two hours each day. Outside of classes, students are highly encouraged to live with a Guatemalan family in a homestay. Students eat all of their meals with the family, and have no choice but to interact daily using only Spanish

Socializing in Xela is a Spanish speaking activity. Unlike Antigua, Xela is a large, authentic Guatemalan city, and Spanish is everywhere. Teachers at Juan Sisay are often spotted hanging out with students outside of class, further polishing their Spanish skills in local bars and cafes.

At Juan Sisay Spanish School, we make sure you have the opportunity to live, eat, sleep, and breathe Spanish... Now thats total immersion.

Further opportunities for volunteering are provided by the school to give you the option to experience another side of Guatemala, and see the realities first hand.
