I spent 02 months with Aurora Andina in Cusco. 03 weeks at the Aurora Andina Spanish School and Afeterwards 04 weeks at the childrens home “Amantani” I learned a lot in the Spanish lessons by profesora Luz. The work at Amantani was really nice but also exhausted, but I love the kids and we had so much fun there. All in all I had a really nice time in Cusco and enjoyed that time a lot. Thank you to Maria Jesus and Iris who cared of me when I was ill and helped me to get medecin. Thank you!

I spent 03 weeks in the Aurora Andina Spanish School and afterwards one month as a volunteer in the “Amantani” children home. I had Spanish lessons together with my friend Berit. Our teacher, Profesora Luz, taught us much grammar, because we came without any knowledge, and communicated with us in Spanish. While this time I learned a lot and I think for this short time my Spanish is ok. But I really liked the cookies and the tea everyday! And, as well, the nice conversations with Iris, Luz and Maria Jesus. The time in the childrens home was also a great time! I really liked the kids and I had much fun with them. But there was also much work to do… All in all, I enjoyed the whole time with Aurora Andina! You are very caring and very lovely! Thank you

I spent 04 weeks in Cusco. It was amazing, and these Spanish classes really helped me get around the area and work in the clinic. I was one on one with the instructor the entire time. I think because of this, I was able to learn so much more. I would highly recommend these courses. Thank you very much for all you have taught me!! Muchas gracias!

My spanish classes were so helpful. María Jesús organized my classes wonderfully and gave me the best professor I could ask for. Profesora Luz helped me so much and encourage me to speak spanish, making me so much better at speaking the language. I can honestly say the amount of grammar and vocabulary I have learned during these lessons is amazing. I would recommend Aurora Andina spanish school to anyone trying to learn spanish. My experience was truly great./p>

We learned a lot in the school. I liked being immersed in the classes. My teacher made the classes more enjoyable. She has a great way to teach, she is hands on in the class and outside. I learned more by going on the streets with her because it was what I’d be doing alone but not understand. The classes were very informative I loved coming to class in the morning and seeing Maria Jesus and Luz. The school is very good and I have learned a lot, without this class I would have been very lost, I liked learning in the school! I liked how they gave us a break, so we can have tea and cookies. Speaking in Spanish has gotten so much easier for me from taking these classes. My teacher was amazing!

The aurora Andina coordinator was Very good, helpful and friendly!. My Spanish class was very good! I’ve learned much Spanish especially I didn’t know any Spanish before. The most surprising thing i experienced was the Peruvian food, especially the cuy. I recommend to the students and volunteers to not bring too much, there’s so much nice stuff at the markets and Just have fun and practice your Spanish everyday with your family that helps a lot! In my homestay I felt like home!! Thank you Maria Jesus. The food was very lovely! I did not have any security problems. I didn’t have any difficulties at all. My favorite memory in this trip was meeting all the friendly people!

The Aurora Andina coordinator was great and it was possible to get only a week of language school (out of plan). I liked my class very much. My teacher Paty was great and has taught me a lot. Even after a few days I am able to talk in Spanish. For a beginner it has been great that my teacher speak Spanish and English. The people are friendly and I enjoyed the hospitality. The surroundings and the ancient Inca places are amazing. Cusco is quiet safe (safe than Lima). You can take every taxi or bus. The meals in my homestay have been great! I felt safe all the time and Maria Elena cared very well for her guests. Pisaq and Ollantaytambo have been great. I also enjoyed the hospitality at our house and at the Spanish school.

The management of Aurora Andina Spanish School Director was excellent. My teacher was very nice. I think the most interesting think I learned was about Cusco’s Culture. The most difficult topic in my Spanish course was ‘preterito simple’. I recommend this school because everything was good for me, and I learned a lot.

The management of Aurora Andina was Very good. Everything was well-organized and I appreciated the tea break. My class was very helpful, and my teacher was excellent. She explained things well. It was really interesting practicing conversation and using that as a way to learn Spanish. The most difficult topic in my spanish course was Preterito imperfect. In general I really enjoyed the school and found the lessons very helpful for learning Spanish, especially since the class was only two people and I could ask for classification whenever I didn’t understand.

The management of Aurora Andina Spanish School was well organized. I really enjoyed the Spanish classes and was able to practice speaking a lot, which made me much more comfortable with the language. The most interesting of my Spanish course was having the chance to practice outside of the building where class is usually taught. Nothing stood out as being overly difficult.
