Ecela Viña del Mar

This was a great experience for me. I attended an immersion experience many years ago learning Hebrew in Israel so I had idea of what to expect. The Ecela program surprised me with its professionalism from the very first contact - helping make decisions about where to attend as well as choosing a home stay. Our first week was challenging but manageable. The teachers were so encouraging in both the conversation and grammar class. We are looking forward to completing our second week and using what we have learned in our travels in Chile.

L'école d'ECELA de Viña del Mar est un endroit excellent pour apprendre l'espagnol. Les professeurs sont compétents et intéressants, les groupes sont petits et bien encadrés. Les activités pour les étudiants nous font approfondir notre apprentissage et découvrir la région.A mi me encanta la escuela Ecela a Viña del Mar!

Wow! Where do I start? I'll start by saying Chile is a beautiful place to visit. Vina Del Mar in particular is full of flavor. The local culture, art, history, and colorful buildings situated on the Chilean coast lends itself to being explored. My most memorable moment, without a doubt, was meeting my teachers at Ecela. I would love to shout out their names, but it is best that they present themselves to you in person.The teachers at Ecela - Vina Del Mar know me as Juan." I had a great learning experience and countless experiences to remember. Taking classes at Ecela was the perfect way to immerse myself in Chilean culture. I started taking Spanish courses at the beginners level and advanced rapidly through the four weeks I spent there. It served as a stable foundation and the backbone to improving spanish fluency for which I utilized to backpack to nearby countries.The teachers are a nice mixture of different personalities just like you and I. They are patient and will answer all questions. They employ numerous teaching methods to cater to different learning styles such as group work

It's not easy to get a compliment out of a Finnish person... Hence, when I say that the Ecela in Viña del Mar was a superb experience, one should take my words with utmost severity!The lessons at ECELA were well-crafted, the teachers were highly motivating and the overall atmosphere at the school was warm and relaxed. Furthermore, the activities organized by the school were an excellent way to get to know the surroundings of Viña, as well as other students.Four weeks at ECELA were able to resurrect my dormant Spanish skills after a ten year's break and make me confident with speaking the language again. I highly recommend the ECELA Viña del Mar to anyone wanting to learn Spanish!

Me gustó mucho y quiero volver mas veces para terminar lo curso!

I highly recommend ECELA in Viña del Mar for anyone looking to learn or improve upon their Spanish. In addition to being located in a fantastic and safe city, the school and its staff create a fun and welcoming environment for learning. I have had the pleasure of being taught by all of the different teachers so far in my time here, and it is inspiring to see the energy and enthusiasm with which they teach. It is obvious each staff member takes pride in the work they do, and this translates to a significantly more enjoyable learning experince. If you are willing to put in the work and challenge yourself further, don't hesitate to talk with the teachers about your goals for your time in the school to see how they can accommodate you. In addition to the great classes offered, the school also runs activities in the afternoons, great for exploring the city and practicing your Spanish. Overall the school is wonderful and I could not be happier with my experience so far. It is well worth the money and time.

Una escuela excelente! Muy recomendable.

Mi experiencia en Chile está sendo increíble y debo mucho de esto para Ecela.Con clases muy buenas, estoy mejorando mucho mi Español.Sin decir las actividades que son perfectas para conocer todo sobre la Región de Valparaíso!

Before I arrived in Chile I had been researching different schools online and by far Ecela sounded like the best option for me. From the very first inquiry I was promptly responded to and received great customer service.The experience at the school did not disappoint. The teachers are really enthusiastic about what they do and they make sure the learning process is enjoyable. The environment is very welcoming. There are new activities every week that are great ways to socialize with the students and become more immersed in the local culture.One of the greatest parts is being able to meet new friends from all around the world. Everyone has an interesting story to tell. For me the best part of the school is being able to spend time getting to know both new and familiar faces. It is something I will greatly miss and I am so glad I had the opportunity to spend a few weeks here.I will definitely return for future studies at Ecela, and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a unique study experience in Viña del Mar.
