SylviaCanada ★★★★★ LanguageBookings review, 2015

These guys make learning fun and easy. It was my second year with Language School Chichen Itza and I would go again in a heartbeat. The classes are small so you get to practice a lot. Plus there are a number of free after-class activities where you can learn to cook mexican specialties (chile poblano...yum-yum), dance salsa, drink mojitos made by Jimmy, all the while practicing your Spanish. I have taken Spanish before but this is the first time that I am actually reusing the famous subjunctive.

I had the chance to have Alex as professor with the courses of the last years at the time of Spanish training courses at Playa del Carmen during last years. During my last trip, my two daughters were with me and we appreciated a lot our classes and activities. Language School Chichén Itzá is a total immersion and memorable souvenirs. Good teachers, good food and a lot of fun. Thanks to all family! Lyne, Canada

J'ai eu la chance d'avoir Alex comme professeur aux cours des dernières années lors de stages en espagnol à Playa del Carmen au cours des dernières années. Lors de mon dernier voyage, mes deux filles ont décidé de m'accompagner à "Language School Chichén Itzá" où nous avons passé des moments mémorables en plus d'approfondir nos connaissances espagnoles. "Language School Chichén Itzá" est la propriété d'une famille accueillante et dévouée. C'est une immersion totale! Lyne, Obaska, Canada.

How do I book a language course / accommodation?
Booking with us is really easy. You just have to go to the link of the school you are interested in. Where it says COURSE and then START, you select the dates you wish to study there. Afterwards, you select how many weeks you want to study.
You then select the course you wish to attend. You can add optional services, such as accommodation and airport transfer. If you would like to add these additional services, you need to go further down the page where you will find the section relating to ACCOMMODATION. You select the option of the type of accommodation you want (You do not have to select the dates here if they are the same as the course - they are automatically selected).
After the Accommodation, you have another option, that of TRANSFER. This option allows you to book a transport that will pick you up at the airport and will take you to your residence or host family.
Once you have selected all these options, on your right hand side, you are going to see a summary of your reservation with all the information about the course and the accommodation, together with their prices. Also, the deposit you have to pay will be displayed there. You just have to press the Orange Button that says BOOK NOW and this will take you to another page to enter your personal details. When you are booking you only have to pay the little deposit. After that, we will contact the school and request your booking. When your booking is confirmed by the school or host, they will hold your place until the your booking balance is paid in full. The same applies for the accommodation. You can pay with credit card, a PayPal account or, for most countries, bank transfer; as you prefer. This deposit you pay now will be discounted from the total price. The rest of the money will not have to be paid until 15 days before your course starts. In any case, you will be receiving emails about your deposit payments; and also, reminders about the rest of the money when it needs to be paid.
What are the benefits of booking through LanguageBookings.com?
Our discount: When the school offers it, you get the LanguageBookings discount and pay less than the school's own price list. You will see it on the school and course pages.
Help in your language: We answer your questions in your language, before and after you book.
We deal with the school for you: If the price, dates or accommodation change, we sort it out with the school on your behalf.
Book with a deposit only: The deposit is part of the course price, not an extra charge. If you pay by card, it is only authorised when you book and charged once the school confirms your place. If the school cannot confirm it, you are not charged, or the deposit is refunded in full.
When do the courses start?
The start dates of intensive and standard language courses are generally flexible. If you have some basic knowledge of the language, you will be able to start any Monday of the year at almost any school. If you are a total beginner, courses usually start once or twice a month.
You should be aware that language schools have more students in July and August than during any other time of year, which means that course fees, housing prices and the overall cost of living are often more expensive during this time. If you would like to book a course in July or August, you should do so very early: schools have limited spots and might be booked well in advance for the high season. Your chances to get your preferred housing type are also greater if you book your course early. Housing options near the school are especially difficult to secure in the summer and tend to fill up quickly.
Language courses during the low season (September to June) are not only less expensive, but also have smaller classes. If you are able to wait to take your courses during this time you will pay less for your courses, and you may even receive better housing, since demand is much lower. Please, review this information within the language course details on the language school page.
How do I know if a place is available?
You can find the availability status underneath each price on the school / host page. Nevertheless, if you submit a reservation request and your place is not available, the deposit paid will be 100% refunded.
