Benefits
Why study in Montanita?
Small classes next to the beach, excellent weather and year-round beginner surf. What more could you ask for? There are 3 main areas in Montanita. The old town, where you will find our local traditions and can practice your new skills. The “center of town” which comes alive a night. There is a plethora of restaurants, bars, and cocktails to entertain you and suit any budget. Finally, we have ‘La Punta’. Found at the far end of the beach, you will discover a community of hotels and restaurants. On this side of town, everyone wakes up early to surf and congregate every evening to watch the sunset. Here you can relax in a hammock after your Spanish lessons, or do your homework lying in the sun. Also, it is the perfect opportunity to take your first surf or yoga lesson, challenging yourself with all sorts of new things!
Of course, there are other awesome reasons for studying Spanish with MarAzul and in Montanita:
- Ecuadorians speak very good Spanish! Their use of ‘slang’ words is limited compared to other countries in Latin America. Therefore, you can learn “pure” Spanish.
- A large number of foreign visitors, who both live and visit Montanita, means you won’t have any problems only speaking a little Spanish.
- Life is quite inexpensive in Ecuador! Fresh fruit, veggies, and seafood abound for next to nothing.
- We are a small school and because of this, we can offer high-quality classes at an affordable price. We are accredited by the Ministry of Education in Ecuador as a Center for teaching Spanish as a foreign language. All of our teachers have university degrees and extensive experience in teaching the language.
