REFERENCES

 

So, There`s 1 city, there are 100 language schools and every single one of them pretends to be the best.     How the hell shall I know what to choose?

     Well, I am not goanna tell you which ones are the best and which ones are just tourist-traps.

     But, after a three months test of  “La Escuela de Español COOPERACION”   I pretend that this school is one of the number 1 places in the world to study Spanish.

     These peoples really know what they do, and they do it with Joy.    Their good sense of humor often made me laugh and sweetened my days.   Their  teaching system make me learn fast and efficiently.

     Also the cultural tours and additional activities contribute to make an excellent and unique experience ( special thanks to Maribel for the amazing tours and as well to Jorge Mario for the free Salsa classes and stadium experience).

     After studying 12 weeks with Milly I not only achieved a progress from zero to an advanced level in Spanish, also have encountered a really good friend.

     Muchas gracias mi querida maestra , eres la mejor profesora de español en todo el mundo, aunque fuiste tan estricta conmigo y siempre me dabas un montón de tareas.  Pero, el resultado es mejor que yo había esperado.   Ahora, estoy listo para contar chistes negros y blancos y también para casarme con una chapina  ( algún dìa ).    Te agradezco mil veces.

   I`ll be back, hasta la vista babys ¡¡¡.

Klein aber Fein!

Seit 2002 war ich nun schon 7 Mal in Antigua, 5 Mal davon in der

Spanischschule Cooperacion. Zuvor war ich an anderen grossen Schulen,

überzeugt hat mich aber erst die Cooperacion. Die Schule ist zwar eher

klein, dafür familiär und bietet nicht weniger was andere Schulen auch

bieten. Speziell die Hilfsbereitschaft ist gross geschrieben. Du kannst am

Flughafen abgeholt werden, am ersten Tag wir dir alles wichtige in der Stadt

gezeigt, damit du dich zurecht findest, Wohnung, Hotel oder Gastfamilie wird

auf Wunsch für dich gesucht und was immer sonst noch für Fragen auftauchen,

Jorge und Mily stehen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite; sie verstehen auch

englisch. Das spezielle an der Schule ist auch, dass es sich um eine

Kooperation von Lehrern handelt, die gerecht bezahlt werden. Der Unterricht

ist gut, es werden verschiedene Methoden und Spiele eingesetzt, aber die

Lehrer spulen nicht irgend ein Programm durch, sondern richten sich ganz

nach deinen Wünschen. Einmal, hab ich für ein paar Wochen 3 Stunden

Grammatik und eine Stunde Salsa gebucht ;) ein andermal wollte ich speziell

den Subjuntivo vertiefen und Guatemaltekische Sprichwörter lernen, alles

möglich und zu angemessenen Preisen!

Der Stundenplan kann recht flexibel gebucht werden, Morgens oder

Nachmittags. Die Lehrer haben Hochschulabschluss, sind zuverlässig,

Privatunterricht ist selbstverständlich und Material wird abgegeben.

Am Nachmittag bietet die Schule kleinere Aktivitäten an wie kochen, Besuch

der umliegenden Dörfer, Besichtigungen der Macadamia- und Kaffeefarmen und

natürlich gute Salsalektionen, sind noch nicht alles..... Es ist vielleicht

zu erwähnen das Jorge und Mily auch Salsalehrer sind. Je nach Schüler und

ihren Wünschen, sind schon lustige, spontane Feste und Reisen entstanden.

Ich kann die Schule nur wärmstens empfehlen. Ich habe unglaublich viel

gelernt und einen Koffer voll schönster Erinnerungen mit nach Hause

getragen,  herzlichen Dank!!!  Anne (Schweiz)

P.S. Gerne beantworte ich auch persönlich Fragen, bitte Mail bei Jorge

verlangen.

This is a reference concerning my time in COOPERACION Language school for one month and was under the teaching instruction. During this time I RECEIVED SPECIALIZED INSTRUCTION from Mily in regards to my education and understanding of grammar, the Whitten language, the spoken language and the culture of Spanish. Mily developed specialized lesson plans and activities whish effectively taught me Spanish. Along with the lessons, I also developed a great friend's ship with Mily we had fun together as we each learned about personalities and cultures.

There are many reasons to study with the cooperative? first of all, it is a cooperative and the teachers take a genuine interest in providing quality education to their students since they are the ones who benefit directly from the success of the school. Also the atmosphere is relaxed yet professional. My teacher was able to identify my areas of weakness and provide productive lesson, am now able to dance salsa a wee bit better! Zoe Mcphee.

My experience at Escuela de Español COOPERACION, was very good.  The teachers were excellent and very helphul.  The location  of the classes was very conducive to learning.  It was very relaxing and tranquil.  My Spanish improved dramatically.  The family that we stayed with was very welcoming and treated as trough we were their own.  I would highly recommend this school with out any reservation.

We have studied at ESCUELA DE ESPAÑOL COOPERACION, for 8 weeks and our experience has been fantastic. You could not find a better school.  Many schools in Antigua are very similar however in this school the teachers are the difference , they are so warm and generous, they become like family.  For Tristan`s birthday, the teachers organized and prepared a party for all the students in the office.  We hope you choose to study at this school and enjoy it as much as we did

Wow¡  Well can I say – a lot and in spanish too¡¡.  After attending another school in Antigua for 4 weeks, I felt like I Wasn`t making any progress. My 4 weeks at COOPERACION SPANISH SCHOOL, have been amazing¡¡.   I studied everyday with both  Marta and Jorge Mario.  FANTASTIC TEACHERS, they both were active, fun,engaging, patient and most importantly thoraugh.  I have learned more Spanish here in 4 weeks then all of my previous studies combined.

Thank you Marta, Jorge Mario and all of the other fabulous teachers that make upthe SPANISH SCHOOL COOPERACION.

Einen schoenen guten Tag, Kurz gesagt: diese Schule ist superklasse und ich kann sie nur waermstens weiterempfehlen. Ich habe insgesamt sieben Wochen spanisch gelernt und habe keine Minute bereut. Ich habe mich hier sehr wohl gefuehlt, weil die Schule klein, nett und familiar ist. Ich finde es wichtig zu wissen, wohin mein Geld fliesst? Die Lehrer sind sehr gut und haben viel Ehrfahrung, ausserdem sind die Aktivitaeten klasse? Ja, ausserdem hatte ich Milli, die beste Spanischlehrerin der Welt!! Sie hat den Blick dafuer, was ich brauche und noch vertiefen muss. Ausser harter Grammatik haben wir auch spannende lateinamerikanische Literatur durchgenommen. Ich wuensche euch eine spannende Zeit in Guatemala.

Having studied in another ( more expensive) school per 3 weeks, I came to COOPERACION SPANISH SCHOOL, the teaching was been excellent, I have a better understanding and fell confidence to speak to people.

I would recommend Spanish School COOPERACION, to students looking to learn Spanish.  After 7 weeks of lessons I feel much more confident to speak more Spanish.

The school will tailor the teachings to what you want to learn.  If I had more time then I would definitely stay for another month¡¡.

I have really enjoyed my time here at the COOPERACION SPANISH SCHOOL, all of the teachers are very investeed in actually teaching.  You to be able to speak the language.  My teacher Mily, and I had some great conversations in Spanish.  She was so patient with me.  The best part was that she never let me advance to another topic until I actually understood and could apply what we were working on.  This is for real, If you go to class and practice yourself, you will learn to speak Spanish, I`ve had 2 years at the University in USA, and did not have the confidence to speak.  Now, I have the confidence  and the ability.

Muchas Gracias Mily, Jorge Mario.

HERE IS THE BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT

Here at the Cooperative all of my goals were accomplished:

  • To speak in complete, grammatically correct sentences.
  • To improve my pronunciation.
  • To conjugate all verbs in the present, preterit, imperfect and future tenses.

WHY DID I CHOOSE THE COOPERATIVA?

I spent several days in Antigua investigating other schools and I chose the cooperative because:

  • The teachers are academically qualified with extensive experience.
  • The school is flexible, developing an individualized program.
  • It is affordable, but not cheap.

MY EXPERIENCE HERE

My teacher developed a six-week program around my goals, strengths, and weaknesses. She quickly moved on when I had mastery of a subject, but spent extra time when I was slow to learn. Mily identified my weaknesses and worked (successfully) to help me correct them. She is extraordinary!

CONCLUSION

Beginner or advanced, if you want to learn Spanish, this is the place to do it. I enthusiastically recommend the cooperative with out any reservation.

Das ist eine perfekte Schule fuer dich! Ich habe hier 5 Wochen Spanischunterricht gehabt. Als ich hier ankam konnte ich keinen Satz Spanisch sagen, aber nach 5 Wochen kann ich mich unterhalten und Spass haben! Und alles nur dank Milli, der besten Lehrerin. Wir hatten so viel Spass zusammen, haben viel gelacht und auf der anderen Seite haben wir hart gearbeitet und sie hat mir die Grammatik so beigebracht, dass ich es ganz verstehen konnte! Sie hat sich auf mein Niveau eingestellt, und wenn ich was lernen wollte, was nicht im Plan war, war es auch kein Problem. Die Schule an sich ist klein und gemuetlich und die Ausfluege am Nachmittag oder manchmal uebers Wochenende machen viel Spass, hier sind alle super nett und es ist wirklich der perfekte Ort, um spanisch zu lernen und trotzdem Spass zu haben! Kann ich nur jedem empfehlen! Fuer mich war es perfekt hier! Viel Spass beim lernen und vielen dank an die Cooperativa!
