¡Gracias a todos en Mar Azul (Isabela, Miguel, Abel y Gaby) para un gran experiencia! I spent 2 1/2 weeks taking classes with Isabela and it was a wonderful experience.

I can't possibly say enough good things about the Mar Azul school. I studied here for 3 weeks in March, and the amount of Spanish I learned was amazing. I studied for 4 hours a day solo with Gaby, and she was a fantastic teacher. I had little to no knowledge of spanish when I arrived, and in three weeks,... More

I took 2 weeks of Spanish classes at Marazul Spanish School in Montanita in June 2009. I previously did not speak any Spanish, but as a medical student in the US I feel it's absolutely necessary to at least be able to make my patients feel comfortable around me (even if I still need a translator for the medical discourse)....
