Can’t recommend Mundo Antiguo enough
I recently spent two months studying Spanish at Mundo Antiguo. I can’t recommend this school enough, and here’s why: - Activities: The school is clearly devoted to creating a sense of community. There’s an activity every single day during the week, which made it very easy to make friends. Also, one of the activities is a language exchange with locals; it was a great avenue to meet people you’d later see around town. - The city: Cusco is a great city to live in. The architecture is beautiful, the temperature is perfect if you like to wear sweaters, and I pretty much always felt safe. - Home stay: I loved my home stay family and learned a lot about normal life in Cusco. - Support: Mundo is really good about checking in with you. Every week, they give you a paper to review how things are with your teachers, the events, and your housing. They truly care about you having a great experience. - Staff: Right from the beginning, all of the staff are so kind and welcoming. They were always happy to offer advice for exploring the city and nearby areas. - Class size: I signed up for group classes. Even though the max class size was four, I never had more than one other person in my class. Due to my level/the level of the other students, I was by myself for 4 weeks (3 hours per day instead of 4, no change in price). Mundo’s commitment to small group sizes is really amazing and allows for more speaking time. - Grammar/conversation: I learned so much. The teachers did a great job of balancing grammar time with conversation, and I walked away after two months with the ability to have conversations about deep topics. - Teachers: Typically, you have two teachers a week (one for the first half of your class and one for the second). This allows you to experience a variety of teaching styles. It’s also obvious that the two teachers work together to create a cohesive learning plan. Because I was at the school for so long, I had about 10 different teachers. It’s crazy how great they all were. I’ll never forget my time at Mundo Antiguo, and I hope to come back one day. Thank you so much to all of the teachers and staff. :)
