Spanish School Centro Catalina

Excelente lugar

I attended Centro Catalina in Medellin for two weeks in June. I teach elementary school in a rural area, and our Hispanic population is growing. Sometimes students arrive at school with no English language background. When I arrived in Medellín, I had very little understanding of the Spanish language. While working with my professor, Jacqueline, I learned a great deal about the language and culture. She was patient, persistent, and professional. I have continued my language learning practice and hope to return next year.

Muy buen lugar para aprender español

Excelente muy buen trato, personal capacitado y muy buenas instalaciones.

Excelente lugar, excelente ambiente

Tomé clases de español por tres semanas a Centro Catalina con Jacque y Jorge. Me disfruté mi tiempo con estos maestros y aprendí mucho! No puedo recomendar una escuela mejor en Medellín o Cartagena. Ya quiero volver! El ambiente es como una familia y las actividades con Yimer son súper chèvre.

Excelente

Amplia y acogedor lugar, los cuartos son muy cómodos, hay cocina, también una zona de desayuno. Manejan buenos precios, en la línea que está, brindan información, al igual que la página

I studied Spanish at Centro Catalina for four weeks in June/July 2023 and highly recommend this school. Teachers were knowledgeable, passionate and engaging and non-teaching staff were excellent too. Class activities included games, conversation, reading, music, learning about Colombian history/culture and more. I had a wonderful homestay and other students also spoke highly of their homestay hosts. I appreciated the wide age range of students, from families with children through retirees and everything in between. There’s a lot to do and see within Medellin and lots of options for weekend excursions outside of the city. I hope to return to both Medellin and Centro Catalina!

I studied for two weeks here and can highly recommend Centro Catalina. I was very nervous about my trip since I'd never done anything like this before, but everyone at the school was so welcoming and generous - my teacher was beyond amazing and I hope becomes a life-long friend. They helped me with everything even outside the school - including tips on taking the metro! I am a complete beginner in Spanish and improved *so* much -- everyone was kind, approachable, knowledgeable, skilled and I went from hands-shaking terror on my first day to confidence traveling around the country in just two weeks. If you are thinking of studying Spanish in Colombia, this school is the right choice.
