About
Founded in 1987, the Latinoamerica Spanish Academy offers the most intimate, hands-on Spanish training experience in Antigua, Guatemala.
At Latinoamerica, unlike any other language school in Guatemala, we’ve developed a 100% unique training program that will help you effectively and efficiently accomplish your goal of speaking Spanish. Here’s a brief overview of how we’ll get you there:
Let’s Learn Grammar
Our grammar lessons aren’t based on boring and useless structures, but rather on dynamic forms that accelerate your knowledge of Spanish and guarantee that you’ll be speaking it soon! Everyday your instructor will use a variety of grammar structures in real conversations that fits the context of your daily life.
Let’s Do Exercises
This part of our instruction assures that your are receiving the practical training you deserve. Your teacher will go through a variety of exercises through basic conversation – hearing you speak Spanish and progress over your time at our academy.
After each lesson your instructor will assign a homework task to help you improve your speaking abilities. You also may receive a workbook depending on your level of training.
Let’s Read
You will have the opportunity to read aloud to improve your pronunciation and acquire new vocabulary. Beyond that, you’ll have the opportunity to hear your teacher read aloud so you can listen, comprehend, and then explain what you have understood. We have a rich database of articles written specifically for Spanish students so you can learn about history, social, economical and political topics as well education and poetry and literature. And remember, all of our material is unique to Latinoamerica Spanish Academy.
Let’s Talk
From the very first day you’ll have the chance to practice Spanish in conversation. At the beginning this is basic, but as you progress it will become more complex. This area of our instruction provides you with the opportunity to learn about our beliefs, our traditions and customs and way of thinking.

If you are intent upon learning Spanish, living with a Guatemalan family will be an important part of your experience at Latinoamerica. We have a list of families who have been receiving students into their homes for years. They provide meals but the most important thing is the practice of the language and a first hand involvement in the culture of Guatemala. Most important, they accept you into their family and you enjoy the friendship and warmth of a “second home”. When your time in Antigua is over, you may find that the hardest part of your experience here will be leaving your Guatemalan family. All host families offer one thing in common: the unsurpassed Guatemalan hospitality.
