Xela was the first stop on a 5 month trip through Central and South America. I'm one of those people who assumed they'd never be able to learn another language and came to Xela with a rudimentary knowledge of Spanish. After 4 weeks at INEPAS, I left with good, basic conversational skills. The language skills I gained at INEPAS allowed me to have experiences on the trip that would not have happened without them. The instruction is intense but tailored to your educational goals. If you can get away from your homework, INEPAS also offers terrific cultural experiences in the afternoons and on weekends. Now that I am back home, using Spanish at work, I thank the folks at INEPAS for helping me find my inner Spanish speaker.
