Reasons FOR taking a language course in Colombia

Why is a Language course in Colombia?

Why is Colombia perfect for your language study trip? Colombians speak a very clear and melodic Spanish that is easy to understand. Although more and more people in the country speak English, it still happens from time to time that you can't get anywhere with English alone and knowledge of Spanish is an advantage. In addition, the knowledge you gain in your language course will open more doors for you to get to know Colombia and its colorful culture even better. Colombians love their culture and are happy to share it with anyone who is interested. In addition to its rich culture, Colombia also offers something for every traveler. Whether rainforest, desert, Caribbean dream beaches, vibrant cities or mountains, Colombia has it all.
A Spanish course is also good preparation for one of our volunteer and work & travel programs. The experience you can gain on these programs is completely different, especially if you know Spanish. This is because language skills are extremely important for a social project with children or the Hostel Experience and give you a feeling of confidence when dealing with locals.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPERIENCE ANOTHER ADVENTURE AFTER YOUR LANGUAGE COURSE?

Once you have completed your language course in Colombia, you will be well equipped to take part in your work & travel program or volunteer project in Colombia and make your language trip an unforgettable experience. We offer programs in various areas to get involved in the country and give something back.

LANGUAGE SCHOOL IN Medellín, Colombia

Welcome to Medellín, the city of eternal spring and an excellent place for your language study trip in Colombia. The large city with 2.5 million inhabitants has developed into a metropolis for culture and art and is very popular among backpackers and digital nomads. The city is not only suitable for a short trip to discover the tourist attractions, but also for longer stays to explore the impressive urban jungle, really get to know the people and their way of life and go on excursions to breathtaking places in the surrounding area.

Program location Medellín

Even the name Medellín sounds mysterious and enticing. The city has developed into a hip metropolis whose future has only just begun. While it was called the most dangerous city in the world in the 1960s, the city has since reinvented itself and now attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world every year, drawn by the incredibly good weather, the legendary paisa culture, a diverse selection of restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. Known for its 'Eternal Spring', this city offers a unique blend of urban development and natural beauty, combining big city with nature. Strolling through the streets, you will encounter a lively atmosphere where modern architecture blends with historic buildings and you can admire fascinating street art. A highlight of a visit to Medellín is undoubtedly the Metrocable, a cable car that takes its passengers high above the city to the poorer barrios on the outskirts, offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

Your accommodation

In Medellín, the Spanish school is located in the famous El Poblado district, the city's urban development area par excellence. Hip bars, restaurants, nightclubs and shopping centers are just one street away from the school. You can live there in the language school's student residence together with other students. The accommodation includes a delicious daily breakfast and there is a communal kitchen available. After studying, you can relax in the garden or on the terrace and chat to cool people. The accommodation is located directly at the language school and you have the choice between a private single room or a shared room, each with a shared bathroom.

If you want to fully immerse yourself in Colombian culture, accommodation with a host family is also an option. Our language school works closely with carefully selected host families that they know personally. You can retreat to your own private room in the host family while sharing the common areas with the family. In addition, a delicious Colombian breakfast and dinner are included every day. As Medellín is a larger city, the walking distance to the language school can vary between 15 and 45 minutes. However, they are always close to metro stations and public transportation and are therefore easy to reach.

Your daily routine

During your language study trip in Medellín, you will take part in group lessons from Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 12:40. You will receive a delicious breakfast in your language school accommodation or with your host family. The perfect boost to get you going in the course. In the afternoon and at weekends, there is plenty of free time to explore the city in all its facets and go on excursions in the surrounding area. The city of "eternal spring" is prized for its climate and enjoys pleasant temperatures of around 25°C all year round. The best conditions for spending your free time in the fresh air every day. In addition to the endless sights of Medellín, the language school also offers cultural activities to get to know the Colombian way of life and have a great time with other language students.

Your free time

In Medellín, there is a wealth of activities and sights for tourists to enjoy during their free time. Of course, the first thing to do is explore the cool city center and take a ride on the Metrocable. In the cable car, you swing over the rooftops of the metropolis and can enjoy breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding mountains. We particularly recommend a trip to Comuna 13, a formerly dangerous district that has developed into a lively cultural center. We also recommend a street art tour, where you can discover the impressive graffiti artworks of this colorful city. Other interesting excursion destinations such as the Guatapé reservoir, the striking El Peñol rock or the charming colonial village of Santa Fé de Antioquia are located in the surrounding area.

Food lovers and night owls will also get their money's worth in Medellín. Numerous delicious restaurants with local specialties, fresh fruit juices at the markets and a huge selection of exotic fruits, as well as a vibrant nightlife with bars, clubs and live music make your stay perfect.
