Ecos-spanishschool

I have had a really enjoyed my three weeks at Ecos-spanish school in Cartagena. I have learned so much in a short time. The teachers are very skilled and make learning fun. Having a basic skill of speaking and understanding Spanish has definitely made it easier and more interesting to travel in Colombia. Muchas gracias Victoria and Team!

I spent three weeks here, (one of them I stayed with a family) and have really enjoyed myself. Teachers and facilities that you would expect from a German accredited school. Staying with a family just added another dimension to the experience. They match you with a family that suits.
The lessons were well structured and I enjoyed learning with my 3 other classmates. The extra curriculum activities were fun. I feel I understand South America a little better and especially this little corner of Colombia. Thank you Team ECOS

Highly recommend this school, not only for learning Spanish language but also for learning Colombian culture. The school provides dance, cooking and a cultural tour every week. I also went to volunteer at a foundation thru the school affiliation with the charity. I actually initially bought 2 weeks of instruction but I really enjoyed the staff and the all experiences so I bought 2 more additional weeks. A warm And welcoming environment combined with actually learning language and culture at the same time is more than I thought I would receive. There are other options for schools but I feel this is the best for an all around experience with everything included. The facilities are new and clean, and I enjoyed the air conditioning! My favorite experience was going on the cultural tour of the Bazurto market where we purchased the ingredients for the cooking class of the week. Thank you to ECOS for everything!!
I recommend you message them now for more information 👍🏼

I would highly recommend Ecos as your choice of school. The teachers are excellent and they take the time to make sure you fully understand what is being taught. There are free activities 3 times a week where you can learn more Spanish, find out about the local culture, and interact with other students. At the end of each week you have an interactive session with the other students, in which you play games to improve your vocabulary. If I ever come back to Cartagena I would definitely return to Ecos.

This is a very good spanish school.
I spent a month there and had a wonderful time. The school is well organized. The staff is nice, the teachers are professionals, the activites very cool and always on time. I also had private dance lessons with Francis (una chica 😉 very kind).
Something very nice is the air conditioning in the school because it can get really hot depending the time of the year.
I decided to stay with a host family chosen by the school and it was clean and confortable and they were very nice.
The localisation is perfect. 10 minutes walk and you're in the neighborhood of Getsemani with its magical atmosphere with bars and restaurants.
So if you want to improve your spanish and live a cultural experience meeting other students from different countries, I recommend this school without hesitation.

It was a pure pleasure. The whole team is amazing and I met many great students from different parts of the world. I highly recommend the dancing classes too. The school offers many extra group activities in the city. Charming people! I will be back in couple of months 😉

Going to the Ecos spanishschool was the best thing we did. The staff are very professional and great teacher and as well very kind and caring. I could never imagine learning so much in only one week. Thank you so much everyone who works at Ecos. I highly recommend this school in Cartagena. It's worth going there just for this experience.
In addition to the classes, everyday we had supplemental activities that supported our learning to speak Spanish and practice with local people. The family Ecos found for us to stay at was wonderful people. We live them and still keep in touch. They spent lots of time with us at meals and after school to practice our speaking skills. It was an amazing experience. Muchas gracias.

The school gave me a happy and safe place to be when I was living in Colombia for three months. I loved a lot of the teachers and I feel that they really helped me improve my Spanish and learn about the Colombian culture. I love eco-school and especially the cooking classes! They were amazing! The price is better than any school in the area and it is in Manga which is nice because it is a nice residential neighborhood Outside of the tourist center which I really liked!

This school provides everything a traveling student could want - new facilities, a variety of cultural immersion experiences and opportunities to connect, a great location, incredibly helpful and capable staff, and most importantly, high quality Spanish classes. I am an English-dominant bilingual and have tried many different schools while exploring Latin America over the years and this one stands out far above the rest.

Because I had studied with Leidy previously and had such a good experience, I returned this most recent time and brought my family. I took advanced classes and my husband took beginner classes. Whatever your situation is, you will be in good hands. If you want to have drinks on the roof top - check. If you need help organizing child care and a cleaning service - check.

We participated in one of their cooking classes - empanadas - and it was fun and something I can easily replicate at home. They have a variety of service-learning options too from environmental service to old folks homes. We chose to serve lunch in a soup kitchen. All these activities you do - your teach accompanies you! The support and service is unmatched. We also did the bird sanctuary excursion and were in awe of the variety and beauty of the birds.

The Ecos team of teachers were professional, caring and made learning Spanish fun! I appreciated their personal attention and patience with me as i progressed in the classes. The facilities were also excellent...modern and well-maintained. Great to be involved with such a professional organization.

ECOS is a great school. The teachers are very nice, and patient, especially important for a beginner student like myself. Whatever learning path you want to take ECOS can support you. You build a foundation in class and you solidify it out in the real world with guidance from the teachers, staff, and director, Leidy. If you want to learn about slave history, you can learn about that and visit Palenque, the first free town in the Americas. If you want to do volunteer work to support clean oceans, ECOS has relationships built to provide you with opportunities for that service. Neighborhood tours, social gatherings, class time follow-up - It's just a great school all around. And the air conditioning is good too, that's important!

I had such a good time in my Skype classes from ECOS Spanish School! I originally wanted to do the classes to prepare for an upcoming trip to Colombia. The trip got canceled a few weeks before we were supposed to go, but I certainly don't regret taking the classes!
All of the professors, especially Victoria, were super kind and professional and made me feel right at home (no pun intended) even when my spanish wasn't the best.
And I learned so much more about spanish throughout these classes, whether it was how to use the Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto, or how to describe things effectively in spanish when I don't know the name for them. 😂
I feel so much more confident speaking Spanish thanks to my Skype classes with ECOS, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone!!!

I joined ECOS for 2 weeks to get some spanish basics to travel 5 months in latin america. It was the right decision! They do a great job at this school. Learning feels like spending value time with close friends and the school offers far more but language lessions (like cooking, Salsa, city trips, cutural insights, ..). I am especially grateful for the flexible concept offered which guarantees you improve fast according to your indiviudal skills and intentions. Special thanks to Victoria who conducted my personal success wisely and smartly, but also to Angelica: both are great, heartily professional profesoras.

I loved attending class at ECOS because every day was unique. ECOS teaches you Spanish in the way that works best for your personality. With cooking classes, dance classes, group classes, tours of Cartagena, and individual classes, you will definitely be successful in your time at ECOS. The professors at ECOS are amazing and make sure that you understand the material and are also having fun. No day in ECOS is boring! I went to ECOS to learn Spanish and when I left, I not only am able to speak Spanish, but I also have lots of new friends at ECOS. I absolutely loved my time at ECOS and would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn Spanish!

Top teachers, very good location and facilities. I made huge progress thanks to a well thought programs led by careful and competent teachers. Would come again for sure.

My experience at this school was amazing! from not knowing hardly any spanish, I improved so quick, especially due to the fact that they have excellent teachers. I have to name Victoria especially because she does her work with so much dedication and explains every problem or confusion that came up precisely and with lots of patience.
The whole concept of this language school is well thought threw and you can learn so much more than just spanish, e.g. culture, dancing, cooking, colombian joy for life,...
Thanks to the whole team for this great experience and their passion for their work! :)
ps: will be back soon!

Great Spanish school with lovely people. Besides Spanish we also learnt a lot about the Colombian culture, its people dancing Salsa and the (mostly fried 😃) typical food.
We can warmly recommend ECOS.

I very much enjoyed my month of classes at Ecos. As a Spanish professor, I wasn’t looking for instruction; just conversation classes. The people at Ecos were very accommodating. I got just what I wanted: enjoyable and interesting conversation classes with a variety of well-trained instructors. Thank you to all at Ecos!

A fantastic experience. Three weeks of study and fun! I can’t thank the Team of teachers here enough for starting me on my Spanish journey 😁

Excelent school. Professional teachers and you can take also dancing lesson, cooking lessons and one tour with your Spanish lessons.
