Studying in Colombia during the crisis

Cheryl

Other than studying Spanish (for which there are much better locations-i.e. Guatemala), I  dont know of any Non-Latino  EXpats coming here to "study"during NORMAL times

Coming here to "study" anything at the height of the pandemic ,even though things have opened up and people (from certain countries who allow their citizens to do so) can travel here , seems like utter folly and not very logical to say  the least.

If Guatemala is a far better choice to study Spanish than, say, Medellín, I would like to know why.

Lodgings are probably cheaper in Guatemala.  But what else makes it a better choice?

Antigua Guatemala has long been the Latin American centre for foreigner Spanish immersion.

When I went there 16 or 17 yers ago, there were over 20 schools

My links are "under review"

Do a google search on "Intensive Spanish Courses in Antigua Guatemala" and you will see a lot of information.

Spanish schools are one of the main sources of Income there.

Also,Costa Rica is a lot more set up for Spanish Immersion studies then Colombia or even Peru.

With all due respect to our esteemed Danger Man and to the español teachers of Guatemala, my research shows that the number of schools teaching Spanish in Colombia has increased exponentially since 2003 when D.M. was making hay in sunny Antigua.

Google:

the complete guide to Colombia's Spanish schools

and one will find many schools listed with intro paragraphs by the schools and 'institutos', courtesy of the Colombian Spanish website www.colombianspanish.co ....

Research and on the ground practical experience are two different things
