When I started searching for a place to learn Spanish in Guatemala, I came across many schools. But what made me choose Celas Maya in Quetzaltenango wasn’t just the programs—it was the people, the immersion, and the reviews.

Studt Reviews

“The one-on-one instruction was exactly what I needed. My teacher Miriam helped me gain confidence speaking Spanish every day.” – Jacob L.

My Experience

I enrolled in the 4-week intensive program and stayed with a host family near the school. My teacher, Claudia, was professional and kind, always encouraging me to speak and take risks. Every day started with one-on-one lessons and often ended with cultural activities like cooking classes or Mayan history talks.

What Made Celas Maya Special

• Immersive environment
• Warm, highly trained teachers like Miriam and Alejandra
