I did a two week course at the start of April 2012 and, most importantly, I learned a lot. Two weeks is not enough time (I'd highly recommend a month), but my teacher (Don Jose Luis) was great and we stormed through the grammar, which I think has given me a good starting point for learning. I paid for a... More

I picked ECORA because it was the only spanish language school in Merida that I could find many reviews for online. I wasn't sure what to expect but everything was fantastic. Jose Luis picked us up at the ADO bus station (we flew into the Cancun Airport) and drove us to meet Elizabeth with whom we had been placed for... More

When I started the language course, I couldn´t speak more than two sentences in spanish and I was quite stressed. After a month of hardcore 8 hours a day spanish learning, I felt cured like in a therapy. I was able to talk to the mexican people, I felt more relaxed and I was happy. The teacher are not even...

The four weeks that I spent in the semi-intensive program at ECORA have been the most concentrated and rewarding learning experience that I have enjoyed in some time. I did not anticipate that that my learning would be one-on-one with a tutor; I expected to be part of a small class. The fact that Hiram Reyes was able to come... More

I have been a lazy Spanish learner, mostly putting effort in when I go to Mexico every 10 years and take short duration language classes. I have made some progress over the years, but my short stay at Ecora helped get me motivated to try harder and I made some real progress! Since I left Mexico I practice with language... More

Working with the teachers Susana and Rosa helped me to feel more comfortable speaking Spanish. They provided excellent feedback and gave me valuable real life Spanish speaking tips. They were both very friendly, helpful, and patient. I would completely recommend Ecora. More

January-February 2011 The ECORA experience was magnificent, much more than we anticipated and a tremendous bargain for the cost. Our teacher Don Jose was outstanding. He was an excellent instructor, patient and clear-spoken; plus a very talented and charming person. We appreciated all our Spanish conversation sessions, the grammar instructions, learning Spanish through songs which Don Jose led with his... More

ECORA is a great little school in an excellent location in a most beautiful city. Very welcoming reception and comfortable learning environment. As a language teacher myself, I appreciate the excellent teaching curriculum with orderly and thorough texts. Don Jose Luis is a very experienced and efficient teacher; also fun and easy to be with. I appreciated that he determined... More

We used Ecora in our continuing study of Spanish worldwide. The course of study was 1/1 for three hours. Both teachers Daniel and Hiram were excellent. We learn differently and are at different places in our viaje and each teacher picked up our pace and ran perfectly. We didn't use the homestay but encountered no difficulty getting to school because... More

We enjoyed all our dealing with the ECORA Spanish Language School. Susana was prompt and helpful in all our email communications. We were placed with Sofia and her daughter in their lovely home. Sofia was very warm and wonderful to both my husband and I. I chose to stick with the immersion in the homestay and not go to classes.... More
