Nueva Lengua

Experiencia fantástica: es una escuela muy buena con profesores muy competentes y amables! Yo aprendí mucho en mis tres meses allá. Las actividades que ofrece la escuela por las tardes también son muy interesantes y buenas para conocer la ciudad y cultura de Medellín. la recomiendo mucho!

Experiencia fantástica: I spent almost 3 weeks at Nueva Lengua in Medellín and it has been so rich with new learnings, friendships and a diverse range of activities which the schools offer. The school is located in a central and safe area and they also offer a student residency. If you are living outside the area there are good connections with public transport. Especially I am grateful for the enthusiastic, empathetic and friendly teachers & staff that acompanied us in the journey. They are very flexible in case you want to extend your stay or also switch to another nueva luengua language school in Bogota or Cartagena. Truly, I really appreciated your efforts, knowledge and engagement that you bring every day and it was simply fun to be in classes with you. It is an atmosphere of familiarity and inclusiveness that I haven’t experienced in many other language schools before. In general through the activities and also with everything the city offers, it makes it easy to connect with each other in- and outside of school. Muchas Gracias, fue una chimba!

Experiencia fantástica: This was the best language school I have ever attended. First of all, I'm a very adventurous person who loves sharing about cultures and experiences, so this review has a lot of bias. As someone who's studied Spanish across numerous language schools across the world, Nueva Lengua in Medellin was by far the best. The teachers were super accommodating and cultured. They were open to learning about new words and new subjects. I taught them new vocabulary and grammar, they taught me new vocabulary and grammar. I started at C1 and ended at C2 in my five weeks I enrolled. I wanted an experience that would teach me Spanish by correcting me politely when I was wrong. I also wanted to fill in some gaps in my education, like feminine nouns with masculine articles in the singular. This school did exactly that. I had nearly every teacher there but mainly was taught by Jairo and Adriana. They taught me new grammar rules like "vos" conjugations, and helped me fix misinformation that I was taught in other schools. They also teach entirely in Spanish and there is very little English in the classrooms, which I appreciated because I liked learning different sayings and new vocabulary. I also learned a lot about Colombia's culture and new slang terms. All the teachers recommended me locations to visit and foods to try and helped ensure my safety during my time in Medellin. I was never robbed, never pickpocketed, and never threatened in the city from their advice: all belongings out of pockets and into the backpack and backpack in front. Simple and safe. Regarding the cultural activities, I enjoyed them all. I loved the cooking class and everyone was super welcoming. I didn't like the dance class but that's because I don't like dancing. I enjoyed the tours of the city and the places we visited. I was even lucky enough to participate in the comidas del mundo event where I tried all sorts of food from everyone's home culture. All the events were well organized and fun too. For my lodging, I stayed with a host family out by Las Violetas. They were super nice and accommodating and I may have used too much water when showering... whoops. But they were great cooks and the dad does tourism so when my mom visited, he gave us a private tour of Guatape and other places. As for the students there, you will find a lot of "characters" to say the least. Some people were... interesting, but a lot of people I befriended and still contact today. I really had deep conversations with my classmates and we all went and had lunch together. It was normal, to, after class, go have lunch with a group of like 10, depending on who was there at that time. I felt super safe in that area of Medellin and it was always a good time after class, especially at Gringo Martes on Tuesday nights. Pero, lo que pasa en Gringo Martes, queda en Gringo Martes. However, as all good adventures, there are negatives to all the positives. Primarily, I felt like classes were a little bit combined at times. They combined levels occasionally that shouldn't have been combined. For example, one day of the conversation class, they mixed all the levels. For another, they put B2, C1, and C2 together because of the lack of resources. I didn't mind, though. I found it super fun to see where people's levels were and it really helped me appreciate how fun I came with Spanish; however, it was a pain for the lower levels who couldn't necessarily understand the activities fully. Additionally, I felt like the wifi was atrocious in some rooms. But I'm just being nitpicky at this point. I really did enjoy my time at Nueva Lengua in Medellin Colombia. I crave it daily and wish I could go back just to be with the teachers again. Don't be scared to go to Colombia! The weather in Medellin was comfortable, and safety precautions will be taught on the first day at the first day lunch, which is provided for free via the program. I highly recommend Nueva Lengua to everyone! Finally, Diana, I am not having more mcflurries. ;) And Eduardo, te gustan los perros?

Experiencia fantástica: Ich habe vier unvergessliche Monate an dieser Sprachschule verbracht und kann sie aus voller Überzeugung weiterempfehlen! Die Lehrkräfte sind nicht nur äußerst engagiert, sondern bringen einem mit viel Herzblut nicht nur die Sprache, sondern auch die kolumbianische Kultur und Geschichte näher. Der Unterricht ist abwechslungsreich, praxisnah und motivierend gestaltet. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich eine meiner Lehrer Adriana – pädagogisch hervorragend ausgebildet, mit einem großartigen Gespür dafür, wie man Sprache effektiv, aber auch mit Freude vermittelt. Ihre Kombination aus Fachwissen, Geduld und Herzlichkeit hat meinen Lernprozess enorm bereichert. Auch die von der Schule organisierten Ausflüge waren spannend und kulturell sehr bereichernd – perfekt, um das Gelernte direkt anzuwenden und Land sowie Leute besser kennenzulernen. Neben dem Unterricht habe ich wunderbare Menschen kennengelernt und viele persönliche Highlights erlebt – eine rundum tolle Zeit, die ich nicht missen möchte. Vielen Dank für alles! ! Colombia, el riesgo es que te quieras quedar !

Experiencia fantástica: Nueva Lengua es una escuela increible. Los profesores son expertos, capables de explicar cualquiera pregunta (enserio) y cada uno tiene su manera de enseñar, asegurando que las clases sean divertidas y llenas de cultura colombiana. La ubicación en Medellín es perfecta: está fuera del área super gringa, pero todavía es segura y linda. ¡Es el lugar perfecto para mejorar tu español con clases, actividades, y charlas!
