We also arrange weekly social events, such as dancing and cooking classes. Being exposed to Spanish in an Ecuadorian home and at social gatherings is a great way to learn vocabulary in a real life context. Moreover, on weekends we encourage you to travel outside of Quito. Ecuador is full of great travel destinations. Within just a few hours of Quito you can see the famous Indian market at Otavalo, the Jungle City of Tena, or Ba os, the gateway to the Amazon.
Longer trips are also possible.
Before or after you begin your studies we recommend excursions to the Amazon jungle, the Galapagos Islands, and to the beaches of Esmeraldas, Manab and Guayas. These are just a few of the places you may look forward to exploring while you are in Ecuador. After completing 120 hours of class, Antonio de Nebrija issues students an official Certificate from Ecuador s Ministry of Education. For shorter courses, the School issues its own certificate as evidence of your language study. The School offers the opportunity to work with a wide range of volunteer programs and projects, run by both governmental and non-governmental organizations, as a result of various agreements which the School has with local universities, institutions, and NGOs.
