L

Our  Spanish School has two locations.
SB Cusco

The principal school is located in the historical and artistic center of Inca’s capital Cusco in Peru. The school is situated on Calle Tandapata N°688—Plazoleta (little square) San Blas. The school can easily be found, about 7 minutes from the main square

 

According to your level

learn to face daily practical situations using our language without fear. The lessons therefore are given in Spanish by native speakers. That's also why we offer you a family stay, voluntary work possibilities and an opportunity for language exchange with local university students.

You’ll receive Spanish lessons according to your current level. By giving you an assessment examination, both oral and written, we test your current level. Weekly examinations are offered to measure your progress.

Taking the assessment exam [San Blas Spanish School]

If you want to study more than one week you can choose between group or individual classes.

 

Sample of a group class [San Blas Spanish School]

Group classes

 are given to a maximum of 4 persons, to ensure individual attention as well as the positive aspects of group interaction. The persons in the group must have the same Spanish proficiency.*
Group classes are normally 4 hours a day.**

In the morning from 8:30 to 12:50, with a break from 10:50 to 12:50 or

In the afternoon from 14:30 to 18:50, with a break from 16:30 to 16:50.


Normally the first 2 hours of the group class consists of grammar lessons, the second two hours consists of practice lessons, such as conversation, listening, reading and writing. The teachers use different teaching methods such as audio – visual materials, games, etc.

* Group classes normally start on Mondays. If there aren't any persons with the same level of Spanish, you receive individual classes, according to the group structure, for the price of group classes.
** An hour of classes is 60 minutes.

 

Individual classes

 are more flexible, you can take 2 hours a day or more. The classes will be tailor-made according to your wishes. Individual lessons are a good option;
- If you only have 1 week of time and your a beginner. Then you can best take individual lessons and focus on usefull conversation skills.
- If you want a review of different grammar items
- If there is a big difference between your oral and your written level
- If you are a professional and you want to learn specific vocabulary related to your occupation, such as a technician or medic.

We also teach Spanish to children from 9 to 15 years old in a special and individual way, using plays, drawings and fairy tales.

 

Sample of an individual class [San Blas Spanish School]

Apart from individual and group lessons you can take semi-individual lessons or combine individual and group lessons.

Semi-individual lessons are possible if you are with a group of friends (maximium 4), who have the same level. You then can agree on how many hours you would like to study and on a focus, like you would in individual lessons. These lessons are called semi-individual lessons.

A combination of group classes and individual classes, is possible. For example;
- the first 2 weeks in a group and the second 2 weeks individual.
- or in the morning 4 hours of group lessons and in the afternoon 2 hours of individual lessons.

Students can decide every week which type of lessons fits best their needs.

 

Extra Facilities

Our tour to the islands on Lake Titicaca was a wonderful day. We had great weather and the people that we met were very friendly. The island of Taguile was a beautiful little paradise. The hotel in Puno was very good, with a great breakfast. It is too bad we could only stay one night. We kept the room for the second night so that we could freshen up before going on the bus to Cusco Peru.
Thank you for everything that you have done to make our trip so enjoyable. Please pass along to Christi our thanks for the great job that she did in organizing our tour. She was able to assemble an itinerary that included everything that we asked for and still was not too rushed. It was an enjoyable, informative and relaxing time.
Thank you again to all of the staff at Peru travel Gateway and your suppliers for making this a wonderful experience.

We had a very nice trip to Peru. Thanks for you help. Our hotels in Peru were what we expected, very nice and the hotel help went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Our guides were outstanding. Always on time and catered to our needs. Our groups were small except for the Sacred Valley tour where we had 25 members. Food was plentiful and tasty at each restaurant.
The Hotel Casa Andina in Cusco gave us an upgrade when we returned from MP which was very nice. Also, the Radisson gave us an upgrade when we returned to Lima although we stayed only 6 hours.
Again, thanks for your services. I feel very fortunate that I selected your travel services, because of the services. Several on the trip thought I was mighty brave to select an unknown agency. I was impressed with Ivan during our first emails and phone conversations. I trusted him and he trusted me, this makes for happy results for everyone.

Sincerely, Mary Earp.

I just returned back to the US from my trip to Peru. I wanted to let you know how grateful I am for the wonderful experience that you help me coordinate and plan. I loved all of the sites and felt I had a unique experience that I will never forget. The tour planners and the tour guides were all wonderful and extremely helpful. Each of them were very polite and knowledgable about their subjects and locations. I learned alot about Peru and its customs.
The hotel on Machu Picchu (Sanctuary Lodge) and the hotel in Puno (The Libertador) were excellent and I would recommend anyone to stay in each of those locations. The San Augustin El Dorado was just adequate; I found the hotel to be clean and the staff helpful, but there is too much noise during the evening and mornings; this is because many of the rooms overlook the central lobby of the hotel and the acoustics create echos of sound from the front desk and those people having conversations in the lobby area. Also, the space heaters in each of the El Dorado rooms I stayed in did not work at all. I do not think I would recommend the hotel to people unless they didn't mind a noisy atmosphere.
The Posada del Inca hotel in Bolivia was very nice; I really liked the rustic feel and intimate setting and the private gardens--the views of Lake Titicaca and the mountains were spectacular. Although I didn't realize it would be a hike (literally) up to it. One of the couples I was travelling with on the first day in Bolivia had trouble making it up the hillside (they didn't know they would have to hike to the top to get to the hotel). I would recommend letting potential guests know that it is a 40 - 45 minute hike from the dock to the hotel itself. The guides were very helpful and it was good that our luggage was carried up separately.
The trip was amazing and I just wanted to thank you for all of your planning. I would recommend you and your staff to everyone I know who wanted to plan a trip to go to Peru.
Have a wonderful new year!

Regards,

Wendy
