Hello everyone,

Able to take a few months off from work and have decided
that Medellin would be an excellent place to visit.

Am extremely tired of Wisconsin winters and the city of
eternal spring would be an excellent choice to visit !

As my Spanish speaking skills are non exsistant , I found
a Spanish language school on the web called Colombian
Immersion. They also have homestay available for an
extra charge. There places are within easy walking distance
from the school.

I am considering going to their school along with doing the
homestay.

I'm curious if anyone here has any knowledge of Colombia
Immersion and also if anyone has any further tidbits of
information they would care to share with a newbie.

T.I.A

I don't know anything about the school you choose but your decision to learn Spanish is the right one, it will open you thousands of doors.

Medellín is a great city, just come down!

Go with a homestay program that has rave reviews online and you should be fine.
