The city of Antigua has been, for many years, renowned center for the study of Spanish as a Second language. The method called TOTAL IMMERSION helps students learn faster, through private lessons (from 4 to 8 hours daily), with a professional and experienced teacher. The learning process is complemented by living with a local family in whose home Spanish is the only means of communication.

At Alameda Spanish Academy (ASA), the staff has an experience of over 20 years and the directors were founders of other accredited academies in Antigua. ASA also has a special interest in the preservation of the Spanish language and Guatemalan handicrafts.

A Conscious Immersion Experience

ASA, in order to truly immerse its students in the Guatemalan culture carefully chooses the families with whom the students will live.

Those families provide the students with 3 daily meals, except on Sundays. Living with a family then also gives students the opportunity to taste delicious home cooked meals. Other housing arrangements are also available to ensure the comfort of students.
