OVER DE STAD
Cusco, met een bevolking van bijna een half miljoen mensen, is de meest toeristische stad van Peru, en is tevens de Archeologische Hoofdstad van Zuid-Amerika. Cusco is erg spannend, vol geschiedenis en met een grote diversiteit aan archeologische, natuurlijke, en avontuurlijke attracties. Het is ook strategisch gelegen in het zuiden van Peru, wat het gemakkelijk maakt om in korte tijd naar andere belangrijke steden te reizen, zoals Arequipa (Colca Canyon), Puno (Titicaca meer) of zelfs het regenwoud in Puerto Maldonado (Tambopata natuurreservaat).
ONZE SCHOOL
We zijn gelegen op slechts tien minuten met de bus van het historische centrum van de stad. Onze school in Cusco ligt in een niet-toeristische woonwijk, de Magisterio buurt, erg rustig en veilig, omringd door restaurants, cafés, banken en winkelcentra, wat onze studenten een authentieke ervaring geeft, en de mogelijkheid om Spaans te oefenen binnen en buiten de school vergemakkelijkt. Ons gebouw heeft negen (9) klaslokalen, een koffieruimte, een keuken, een patio met groene zones, een terras en Wi-Fi.

Last year, I studied spanish at the ECELA in both Cuzco and Lima, Peru. I enjoyed the experience tremendously in both places. All instructors are very professional and welcoming. Even though I only studied for three weeks, I really felt that I have made a lot of progress. I am not afraid of speaking Spanish with a native speaker again. In addition, I also participated many culture events organized by ECELA, and enjoyed learning the local culture and history.

When I arrived at the ECELA school in Cusco last June, I had difficulties to say even a few words in Spanish. However, in the relaxed atmosphere of the school and with the kind and excellent teachers, learning was easy. Actually I must say, I am a bit shy when it comes to express myself in a new language, but my teachers were very patient and helped me overcome my initial embarrassment. So I could enjoy the time in this beautiful and lovely city, with its kind and helpful people. I remember the last day, when my classes were over. What a feeling of nostalgia, when I passed by the house of the school.

Ecela was the perfect place to learn Spanish. Detailed, organized lesson plans, enthusiastic teachers, terrific fellow students made it a perfect environment to further my study of the language. I liked it so much, I returned a year later to spend a month studying with Ecela. One of the best experiences I have ever had.

I stayed all through February and I truly had an amazing experience. I took all my classes in Cusco and I loved every minute. I decided to stay with a host family to force myself to speak as much Spanish as possible, and the family I stayed with opened their arms and hearts to me immediately. I still keep in touch with them, and I’ve gone back to visit them later. Every day I learnt something useful, and the classes were organized so that you would practice grammar and then talk as freely as possible. This allowed us to have some very interesting discussions, especially since we were all from different countries and experiences.
