The Spanish Institute of Puebla is a well established Spanish Language School, with 30 years of experience, a proven methodology and a great atmosphere for learning Spanish. You will live the Spanish language and culture up to 16 hours a day. All our professors have college degrees and a vast teaching Spanish as a Second Language experience. Our classrooms have ergonomic chairs and ample desk space for comfortable learning.

Our goal is to help you communicate in Spanish. There are four areas of communication: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In our program we consider all four areas. Because we have an emphasis in Spanish conversation; even our group program includes two hours of individual conversation to get your conversation skills up as quick as possible.

Our standard program has eight levels: from Beginner to close to Native Speaker. You can specify which level you would like to enter or you can take our placement exam (The result of this exam is approximate) which will determine which level to start at.

Our home stay program is a very important part of your overall language experience. You will stay with a host family, unless you request differently in which case we will work with you to find adequate hotel accommodations. Our host families are carefully screened to have a very helpful attitude towards students. We have also selected homes that offer a level of comfort not too far from what you are used to finding in your home country.

Our selection process assures that all our students will have a comfortable and pleasant stay in Puebla. Although our host families receive a compensation to provide you a home, they do enjoy having a foreign student as a guest.

Spanish Instruction

In a broad, high valley about 60 miles southeast of Mexico City is a city known by many names over the years: City of Angels, City of Tiles, Heroic City of Zaragoza. Today we know it simply as Puebla.

Established by the Spanish in 1531 on the main route between the port of Veracruz (the most important port in Mexico) and Mexico City, Puebla was the principal city of Colonial Mexico. Puebla's appearance is the most European of all the Colonial cities, because it was planned from the ground up by a Spanish city designer rather than being built within an existing Indian community.
