"An experience I’ll never forget."

Charles k

I really enjoyed learning Spanish here and getting immersed into Cuenca. My teacher made my class very engaging and interactive. It was incredible having both in class work and class out in the town utilizing our Spanish. My teacher Victor made it easy to learn Spanish. Our teachers and the staff made us feel comfortable and part of the family. The immersion activities such as learning salsa and about the city were really fun.

"We have thoroughly enjoyed our Spanish classes at Equinoxio."

Lashon Mckay

We have enjoyed our refresher class on beginners Spanish. Dora is an amazing teacher and her style of teaching is very easy to follow and understand. She is very engaging and well versed in English and Spanish. The location of the school is located near public transit stops. My only suggestion would be to pre-test incoming students to know what level of Spanish they have.

"Frau Martha Pulla konnte mit großer Begeisterung für die Sprache und ihr Land meine Kenntnisse im spanischen sehr umfassend und emphathisch erweitern."

Ingrid Paulus

Der spanisch Unterricht mit Martha war jeden Tag interessant, es wurde auf das aktuelle Tagesgeschehen wie auf Grammatik und Sprachschatz eingegangen.

Die Schule ist ein wunderbarer Ort, architektonisch und vor allem der liebevollen Einrichtung und des überaus freundlichen Personals wegen. Ich wurde jeden Morgen herzlich begrüßt und der Kaffee war schon zubereite☕️.

Die Ausflüge auf den Markt, das Kennenlernen neuer Obst- Gemüsegarten, sowie die Säfte, Getränke und die Marktkultur in Cuenca waren sehr aufschlussreich.

Die Unterkunft war großzügig, großes Zimmer, Badezimmer- am Anfang gab es ein Warmwasser -Problem, was aber prompt beseitigt wurde.
Das Essen war sehr lecker, es wurde mit der Familie gegessen, was meine Sprachkenntnisse förderte.
Elena, ist eine herzliche Gastgeberin, die sich immer nach den Wünschen und dem Befinden erkundigte, sie lud zum Gui - Essen ein und machte Ausflüge mit.

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. The school is also not authorized to issue documents to support your visa application. If you need a visa, you have to apply for a visitor or tourist visa on your own.

Flights and airport transfer

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Cuenca based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Travel insurance

Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings. You must book your insurance in advance when you register.
