I really enjoyed my experience at Amigos. The facility is clean and cheerful. The staff are very friendly and they make learning Spanish easy and fun. There were students from various countries who were interesting to meet. They also have a good program in the afternoon helping out disadvantaged kids and they appreciate volunteers who like to help. I lived... More

I had a wonderful week learning Spanish in Amigos Spanish School in Cusco. It is fun to learn Spanish in a very interactive way with Jossie, our teacher and fellow classmates. Wish I can spend more time in Amigos Spanish School to learn Spanish. The school is lovely with cheery colors, flowers and cozy environment enhance the learning experience. More

I came to Cusco for my medical elective, hoping to learn some Spanish while I was here, and arranged lessons with Amigos after I arrived. The lessons were ideal for me – I did 20 hours of one-to-one, covering basic Spanish, then 10 hours of medical Spanish to help me in the hospital. The lessons were well structured, and I... More

Learning Spanish at Amigos has been a great experience, they’ve made going back to school interesting and fun, using interactive methods which really help you to remember what you’ve been taught.

I came to Cusco for a week to do a home-stay and begin learning Quechua before traveling to Arequipa for the semester. Amigos offers Spanish and Quechua lessons and home-stays with laundry and boarding included. My home-stay family has been wonderful, and Amigos has been very responsive in responding to my questions. I think going in a busier time (march,... More

Amigos is the best place to learn Spanish. I arrived to be welcomed by Jesus, the Director and spent the next four hours engaged in an interesting, exciting and innovative learning process. My Spanish was very basic but Jesus made me feel confident and inspired to try more. Far from what I would call traditional teaching, Jesus had prepared many... More

I had a great time setting up our classes with Jesus and he was very helpful. Our teacher Jossie was very patient with me and we covered lots of material. The family that we stayed with was very welcoming and helpful in helping us to learn Spanish beyond the classroom. I also liked that the school was started and is... More

Last year I studied for four weeks, 20 hours a week, at Amigos. The school is a a real recommendation! The teacher, Sandra, was excellent and lovely, and the classes included a good balance of grammar and conversation. The small classes and the great atmosphere gave me lots of inspiration and courage to really learn the language. The school is... More

I studied at amigos in nov 2011. I chose them because the teaching seemed to be of good quality and their social programmes to help disadvantaged young people were of significant benefit to the local community. It certainly wasn't the cheapest school but as i was lucky to be travelling I wanted to give something back while studying. The classes... More
