Spanish Programs For Life Long Learners

Kukulcan is the ideal place for life-long learners, retirees, and anyone who wants to experience life in Cuernavaca, Mexico, "the City of Eternal Spring." Enjoy the excellent climate of our beautiful city while studying Spanish, traveling, and learning about Mexican culture. We have developed a series of theme-based culture classes that take participants out of the classroom and into the field to learn about Mexican history, art, architecture, politics, economics, folklore and religion, amongst other topics. Kukulcan offers life-long learners a low stress environment for language learning, along with a complete immersion experience in Mexican culture.

Kukulcan's program for life-long learners has two goals: (1) to provide you with the basics of Spanish language for communication purposes, or, if you already have some proficiency, increase your fluency and knowledge.  (2) to teach you about Mexican culture in hopes that it will build bridges of comprehension and good relations between our countries.

For participants whose knowledge of Spanish is limited, the cultural component of the class can be offered in English.  The cultural blocks have been designed by university professors who are specialists in their field.

Programs are designed for two-week periods, but as topics rotate and change frequently you can continue to learn more about Mexico and achieve more proficiency in the Spanish language if you stay for longer periods of time. We can arrange home-stays with Mexican families, or accommodations in our nearby Suites or in a hotel or apartment in the city. Programs are available year round, and given Cuernavaca's wonderful climate, you will find warm weather and sunny skies no matter when you come.

Cuernavaca offers first-class shopping, many fine restaurants, affordable and easy transportation around town, and excellent medical facilities. Many retired Americans already live here, so you will find it a welcoming environment.
