Special: Spanish Language Lessons Concurrent with Main Project

Buenos dias - Welcome to Guatemala

If you want to learn Spanish at the same time as your teaching, you can take Spanish lessons for any length of time running alongside your main project. Learning Spanish will help you immeasurably on your project – you’ll be able to speak to the staff and kids and really get the most out of your time in Guatemala.

• There is no better way to learn a language than to live it, eat it, breathe it and speak it in a Spanish-speaking community!

• Take a Spanish Course for any length of time to run alongside your placement – from 2 weeks onwards.

• Lessons are available at: Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced level.

• You have the option of studying individually on a one-to-one basis, or within groups ranging from between 2 to 4 students.

• You can choose the hours that you take, depending on how busy you’d like to be. Standard hours are  5 hours or 10 hours per week, but if you’d like to do more than this just let us know.

• Enjoy the benefits of studying alongside other students from all over the globe.

Whether you decide to study a Spanish course individually or amongst friends, you won’t be alone because each centre may host many groups simultaneously. This gives you the opportunity to interact and socialise with others.

ABOUT THE SPANISH SCHOOLS

Certificate of study and University Credits:
At the end of the study period, you'll receive a certificate for time studied. The School also offers the ACTFL and FSI tests, which are recognized as university and working credits in the USA and in Europe ( there may be a charge imposed by the School for this service).

The Spanish School APPE in San Juan del Obispo
San Juan del Obispo is a small pueblo on the outskirts of Antigua. If you would like to escape the crowds in Antigua and experience a glimpse of real Guatemalan pueblo life then this course would suit you. Studying in San Juan offers students the opportunity to truly immerse themselves in the language learning experience. APPE School chose this location because of the friendliness of the people and also for its artists workshops.

Location:
To the south and four kilometres from the city of Antigua is the picturesque city of San Juan del Obispo in Sacatepéquez. It is named in memory of its founder, Francisco Marroquin, educator and first bishop of Guatemala, San Juan is located at the base of the Volcano Hunapú (Agua) and serves as a memorable land mark for its beauty and awe inspiring views. The town is 1600 meters above sea level and has a population of about 2,300 people. There are small shops, pharmacies, bookshops and transportation services in San Juan.

The busses from San Juan to Antigua run from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from Antigua to San Juan they run from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

To the east of central park are a Barroque style church and a beautiful Episcopal palace. From the north, you can observe the extensive and marvelous Panchoy Valley where the conquistadors founded the very noble and fair city of Santiago of the Horses (Antigua) in 1543.

The church and the palace were built in 1541 for Bishop Marroquin. The palace was destroyed in the Santa Marta earthquake of 1773. It was rebuilt in 1940 but the church is in tis original form. The park has also been rebuilt. Now the palace is a convent for nuns from the Betania congregation. There are four nuns living there and they are dedicated to religious activities and the upkeep of the building.
