Best place to discover the Bosque, riding your bike, walking, and see the trees turning different colors. There are so many places to eat, attend church, and appreciate nature!

A great place to learn Spanish! Pure & simple. I signed up for an in-person class that was due to start just after Covid hit, so we switched to Zoom learning. And yet, the instruction & learning remained superb. No one wanted it to be on-line, but we all did the best we could with the hand we were dealt.The reviews below about Spain-specific Spanish are hard to believe. Not sure who their instructors were, but my teacher Reyes is Spanish and was literally in Spain teaching, and I never felt she spoke to the exclusion of Mexican or any South American lingo. I had just returned from South America when I began taking the class, and I’ve studied abroad in Spain in college, so I’d like to believe I have footing to defend against the other reviewers’ claims. The class gives you a very well-rounded approach to the Spanish you’ll encounter in the world, as well as right here in New Mexico, and audio is played with all kinds of accents & origins.Speaking of instructors, I can not recommend Reyes high enough. She made the class fun and engaged with all students at our level and challenged us while supporting us. Total rockstar.I plan to take another class in 2021 when my weird covid schedule clears up, and I hope to see some of you review-readers in the classes!

Very pleased with the instruction I received here. All three of the instructors I had were willing to take time with me to explain any questions I had. This was very, very important to me because I am a slow language learner. The text book really supports student learning.

I enjoy the classes. I can really feel an improvement in my Spanish. I always am sure to let my teachers know that I want to travel in South America and we have always gone over the differing usages and vocabulary. I am wanting to get a bit more confident and move into a literature class!

I so appreciate the Instituto Cervantes. I started as a basic student and have taken classes for three terms now, with two different instructors. Both have been professional, informed, patient, and clear in instruction. And although it is somewhat challenging, I really like that they speak to us almost exclusively in Spanish. Poco a poco, Im building my knowledge and skills--and thoroughly enjoying the process!

I’ve recently completed a year of classes. I found the Instructors to be be very good. Class size is small and taking a test before my first class allowed me to be placed at an appropriate level for my ability.

I took two Spanish classes here. I am not a fan.First, although I do believe complete immersion in conversation is a great way for people to learn Spanish, I dont believe immersion is the best approach to teaching. Most of the time, our instructor would deliver the lesson entirely in Spanish, without explaining what she meant in English. When I didnt understand something, I missed everything she said after that.One day in class, we were studying two different past tenses, and I was confused about them. I asked the instructor if she would please translate a sentence using both tenses into English so I could figure out which one was which. She replied, We do not translate sentences into English. I tell you the basic function of the tenses, and then we study them in Spanish. That is not helpful to me.Also, she spoke the Spanish used in Spain; I prefer to learn the Spanish used in Latin America.Second, it appears that the administrators pulled a fast one on me. I wanted a different instructor for my second class. I called the school to see if he would be teaching the next class, and they said no. A month later, someone from the school called me and asked if Id like to take the second class. I asked if my preferred instructor was teaching, and they said no. So I reluctantly signed up to take the second class from the same instructor I had had for the first one.Then, when I got to class on the first day, I saw that, right across the hall, my preferred instructor was indeed teaching the second class! What?!?! It turns out that they need a minimum of five students to justify holding a class. I was their important fifth student. They did not want me to attend the other instructors class because he already had a full class, and this other one had only four students. Instead of telling me the truth---that they needed me to sign up so they could hold the class with this instructor---they lied to me. That does not sit well with me at all.And third, the people who work in this program are not friendly. I never felt comfortable going into the office to ask a question. I got a cold reception. Often, they would speak in hushed tones and then stop talking when a student walked into the room. It seemed as though we were a bother to them, an annoyance.I quit in the middle of the second class. Life is too short to be miserable. In each class, I found myself staring at the clock on the wall, wishing it were over. Usually, learning is fun for me...but not here.I will not take another class here. There are other Spanish programs.

Lovely staff and amazing students. In just a couple of classes you have formed a small family with which to enjoy teaching & learning.

Great place to learn Spanish. Very affordable classes. Availability of any given level may be limited to certain hours, if available at all.

This is a great language school by taking classes here I was able to increase my fluency in Spanish. The teachers are very good and of the learning style is very unique because they use full immersion.

Here for shot clinic.

The Spanish taught is from Spain and not helpful if you desire to communicate or travel through Mexico. Good teaching but the type of spanish isnt relevant for most people unless they want to go to Spain.

Incredible and beautiful

Perhaps the best Mexican food I have ever had.

Professional with high quality teaching.Professional with high-quality teaching.

The spread of culture in the Instituto Cervantes is perceived as soon as you enter its doors. Wonderful childrens paintings and drawings bring us closer to the Cervantino spirit. Congratulations!
