KUKULCAN Spanish Language Courses for COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

For Groups and Individuals

Kukulcan has a finely-tuned and well-planned curriculum consisting of Spanish grammar classes, conversation classes, and cultural programs that fit together to create the perfect learning environment for college and university students. Our instructors have extensive experience teaching Spanish as a second language and training in foreign language methodology. We offer language classes at all levels, from beginning to advanced, with special courses for heritage speakers of Spanish or bilingual students.  You can enroll in classes at Kukulcan any time during the year , and stay for as long as you want, from a few weeks to several months.

We also offer internships in select fields such as business, journalism, and education.

For students who are seeking volunteer opportunities in Mexico, we combine language classes and work experience in orphanages, schools, senior centers and other local institutions.

Some universities organize their own program through Kukulcan and send their students with a group leader. Others send their students alone and accept transfer credit. Check with your home institution to discuss your options. Whether you choose to come with a group or come on your own, you can be sure you're in good hands.

Don't forget that our key word is FLEXIBILITY. You decide when and for how long to enroll.  We recommend two weeks as the minimum stay.  Our Spanish classes start every Monday all year round.  We offer three options for students: group classes (average size 5 people), semi-private classes (2-3 people) and private classes.

Informal Conversational Practice
For extra conversational practice after school at no charge, the Kukulcan Language School has established an informal exchange program for our students called "Enlaces Amistosos" (friendly gatherings). Through this program, you can meet people who live in Cuernavaca and practice your Spanish with them. In turn, they can practice your native language (English, French, German, Japanese, etc) with you. Generally, these meetings take place in the afternoon and last for about one and one half an hour, with 45 minutes devoted to Spanish and 45 minutes to your native language. Let us know in advance if you want to participate in the program, and we will make arrangements for you free of charge.  Contact us for more information.
