Some time ago we were talking to a long time friend of us here at Ideal, one of our star-students. She is now a spanish teacher, and she was telling us about one of her students who was a bit afraid about going to a spanish speaking country, since most of the people she was going to spend time with didn´t know any english. Here at Cuernavaca, you´ll surely find english speakers. However, the best experience is one where you don´t really get to speak that much of it!

While the suggestions we make when we get new students are simply that: suggestions, we do them because they´re the way we think them to be the better ones based on our long long experience with students.

So, what are there suggestions?

1. “¡Sólo se habla español!” (only speak in spanish!”) This one is perhaps the hardest one, but by far the best, since the students who´ll try to speak the most alongside their spanish-speaking families are the ones who´ll get the best niveau at the end of this wonderful trip, and also, the most friends!
2. “Te comes todo” (“you should try everything in the menu”) our families are experienced with foreign students, and will offer you a traditional, but also foreigner-friendy menu, and believe us, mexican food is amaaazing.
3. Ask about the family´s traditions! Each one of our families has their own hobbies as a family, some go out to dance to Cuernavaca´s downtown, some play instruments. Ask about them and get to know a whole new world of experiences!

Learning a new language can be something a bit scary, we know, but we also know you get to discover something truly life-changing. Come and see by yourself!

We´re here to welcome you!
