Support for Accommodation and Getting Acclimated

Total Spanish supports visitors before they’re even arrived in the city. They can find students rooms in Colombian homes or apartments to share with other students, among other accommodation possibilities.
They also partner with tour companies to offer their students a better view of the city and its surroundings. They encourage students to sign up for dance classes, to attend language exchanges, and to get out and practice Spanish.

Private, Group, and Combo Classes

After getting you settled, Total Spanish has a lot more to offer. You can choose between their different plans according to how you learn best.
Intensive group classes take place weekday mornings from 9 a.m to 1 p.m. (A total of 20 hours per week.)
If you prefer private classes, you can also choose the one-on-one option, 10 hours per week in the afternoons (two hours a day).
Finally, there’s the intensive combo, which incorporates both group classes everyday and two days of private classes a week.
All students, no matter if they’re in private or group classes have access to their learning lab which has desktop computers packed with tools for practicing Spanish in all its forms: grammar, listening, reading, and writing.
It’s all about helping students go past the classroom, and into grasping Spanish for the long term.
