Schools: Guanajuato Spanish Classes

Learn Spanish in Spain

FREE 6-Day Spanish Course!

Schools in Guanajuato: If you are interested in studying in Mexico, I strongly urge you to complete at least The Pimsleur Spanish before coming. In fact, the more preparation BEFORE coming to a language instruction course in Mexico the better. Otherwise, I feel you might be throwing your money away.

There are many language learning venues in Mexico. My experience has been exclusively with those in my adopted town of Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico. You may want to visit some of these, if you can, and sit in on a class. Most offer that option.

Should you decide to attend instruction in Mexico, sign up for a homestay. This could greatly enhance your language-learning experience.

I’ve listed three schools in detail with contact information and some small details about their programs. I either attended these schools as a student or know the teachers and directors. For your convenience, I have listed the other schools in Guanajuato.

The Instituto Miguel de Cervantes

About Us...

The Instituto Miguel de Cervantes, founded in 1981, is Guanajuato’s first Spanish school. It provides intensive language study and a practical language-immersion experience for individuals and groups. At the Institute, you will benefit from small classes, individualized instruction, and our proven teaching methods. In addition, you will learn about Mexican history, literature, and art—and you can even try your hand at Mexican cooking and Latin dancing, if you are so inclined. We also offer basic language programs for larger groups, as well as specialized programs for professionals (Spanish for Teachers, Spanish for Medical Personnel, Spanish for Social Workers, etc.).

Our Facilities

The Institute is located in the shadow of the historic Valenciana Mine (still operating), one of the greatest silver mines in all of colonial Latin America. Our physical facilities are unmatched in Guanajuato, offering spectacular views of the city, airy classrooms with natural light, tranquil flower gardens, meandering walkways with fountains and natural benches, and numerous nooks and crannies for contemplation or group discussion (in Spanish, of course).

Why Guanajuato?

The city of Guanajuato was founded in 1554. It became one the richest of Mexico’s colonial cities because of the vast silver deposits found in the surrounding mountains. Several silver mines are still operating and are open for tours.

The legacy of Guanajuato’s riches is reflected in the fine colonial architecture that graces many of the buildings in the city’s historic center. Today, Guanajuato is a medium-sized city of 95,000 inhabitants and is home to the University of Guanajuato, whose students bring a youthful exuberance to the city’s restaurants, cafes, and public spaces. The presence of the University also enriches the city’s cultural life, with weekly symphony concerts, regularly scheduled lectures and seminars open to the public, and callejoneadas every Thursday through Sunday. These evening musical walks through the streets of Guanajuato are led by estudiantinas, student musicians and singers. The estudiantina tradition is rooted in Andalucía, Spain, and was transplanted to Guanajuato in 1972. It has become a unique attraction in this compact city of narrow streets and steep, twisting alleyways.
