"I was in the advanced Spanish class at Toucan for 8 weeks and it was worth every minute. Our teacher, Wendy, was absolutely incredible. She customized the curriculum to our needs, planned different activities and encouraged us to talk about a variety of topics. The activities on Fridays and Colombian sweets every week were also fun. Thanks Toucan for an amazing experience!!!" - Whitney R (United States)

"I had an absolutely amazing four weeks at Toucan Spanish School. When I arrived, I only had a very basic understanding of Spanish, but I’m leaving now able to understand and follow most of the conversations happening around me.

The school’s teaching method is truly effective, instead of long, tedious grammar lectures, the focus is on active communication and real conversations with teachers and fellow students. The four-hour group sessions fly by and are always engaging, fun, and dynamic.

Overall, a 5/5 experience. I can’t recommend Toucan Spanish School enough if you want to really improve your Spanish in an immersive, enjoyable way."

This isn't just about learning Spanish; it's about living it. Your homework is not just a worksheet, but the city itself. The result? You learn faster, remember more and have an incredible time doing it.

To help you Learn Local©, we offer an optional program of curated cultural activities. Led by our Spanish teachers these adventures offered at our Medellin and Cali Spanish Schools are the perfect way to practice your new skills and dive deep into Colombian Spanish and culture.
