With a total immersion approach, this learning process can be accelerated as well as enlightening as you experience the Spanish culture firsthand.
Visiting a foreign country to study its language can be an overwhelming experience for even the most seasoned traveler. However, when the school you attend is Casa Xelajú, all of your fears and worries seem to go away.
