I definitely fell in love with Sucre. So much that I decided to stay there for several weeks and do something I never thought I would...learning Spanish...It's not really my cup of tea...I've never been into learning languages, but feels nice to be able to communicate with locals...and to be honest feels like a great personal achievement. Well, this school... More

We were two packpackers who had zero spanish! Then we met Coco! He taught us the basic in a really straight forward way, while also making it fun! There was no pressure, just a really enjoyable educational experience! Thanks Coco! More

We have just finished a 8 days of classes at Continental Spanish School and they definitely lived up to their great reviews on here. Patricia and Maria-Elena are both fantastic teachers with years of experience. They are very thorough and also make sure your pronounciation is perfect. As the school is smaller than others in Sucre, it has a lovely... More

Well, this is the first time I have felt like the place I visited actually deserved a great written review. I spent two weeks in total studying at Continental Language School. During this time I honestly learned A LOT - mainly Spanish of course - but also about the culture (music, food, traditions) and mentality of Bolivia and its people.... More

There are many schools to choose from, but we chose continental based on trip advisor reviews. My fiancé and I took 4 days of classes, 6 hours per day, with Patricia as our teacher. It was a... More

We had a great time learning Spanish at the Continental Spanish School in Sucre. We started out with little more than some very basic Spanish and we came away after only 4 days (6 hours per day) feeling very confident in our ability to communicate with the locals. The classes were fun and informative, and covered a wide range of... More

I have never worked with a teacher one on one everyday before but I can't imagine that there are teachers more capable and caring than Patricia and Maria Elena. They work from 8am to 8pm many days to provide (usually free) extras like cooking, dance, or other cultural experiences. I studied 4 hours a day for just over two weeks... More

I spent seven weeks at Continental Spanish School doing an intensive course (six hours per day, five days per week). When I arrived I could speak some Spanish (enough to get by), but wanted to be able to have more meaningful conversations with native speakers. The course was tailored to my level and was structured with a variety of activities... More
