Spanish Learning Classes in Cozumel |
|
Vacationing in a foreign land is always exciting and can be a bit scary if English is not the first language of the country you are visiting and you don't know their language!! You could ask some one for a bathroom and get handed a banana instead! The ultimate barrier to remove when trying to learn and understand a different culture is language. Once you can communicate with some one in their homeland and in their language, the final curtain is raised and an entirely different and expanded cultural experience awaits.
When visiting Mexico, most tourist destinations now have a large bi-lingual Spanish/English population and one shouldn't expect to encounter many language barrier problems. However, being willing and able to some extent to communicate in Spanish is very helpful and also alot offun!
If you think you might be interested in learning Spanish before coming to Cozumel, why not visit your local book store and pick up an entry level "Learn the Basics" type of reference book? We also invite you to visit our online comprehensive guide to Basic Spanish Phrases - Cozumel Insider's Spanish Guide. With the bookstore reference text and the Basic Phrases link above as overviews of Spanish language fundementals, you might decide you want to take your learning further while here in Cozumel on vacation.
Learning Basic Spanish in Cozumel |
If you are interested in a cursory review of basic Spanish and how to pronounce various words/phrases, there is really no need to pay for a "course or class" to do this! Interestingly enough, because this is a tourist destination, there are many bi-lingual locals who would love to trade time with you and learn too!! They get to practice their English and ask questions while you do the same about Spanish! What a great way to meet new island friends too!! This is the most practical, economical and enjoyable way to see if Spanish is fun for you!
As a day visitor to Cozumel or and extended stay guest....
...just bring your reference book and a printout of the Basic Spanish Phrases guide along with you on your Cozumel vacation. Then visit your hotel lobby, a bar, a restaurant, your dive shop, etc. and ask around to see if there is some one who is interested in sharing this sort of experience with you. Chances are there is some one and the most it might cost you is a couple of tacos or something similar. This gives you the flexibility to spend as little or as much time learning Spanish as you like on your vacation here in Cozumel!
Now.....If you find learning Spanish exciting and challenging and you've tackled the basics and want to move up a notch, then you need a different level of Spanish speaking person to really teach you the fundementals over an extended stay. You need some one trained and skilled not only in speaking Spanish properly but in teaching as well. You will need a Spanish speaking, degreed educator with courses and learning materials designed for those wanting to develop their present knowledge for private, educational or professional reasons.
Other Languages are also available! English, French & Italian - Inquire!

12/31/2014 - Staying at IslaMar Villas was really great! Thanks to Sherri and her wonderful staff for taking care of everything! Don't miss diving in Cozumel - it is FANTASTIC and EXTREMELY amazing! And remember, you always meet twice in your life - we are looking forward to that! With warmest regards! K. Toderke & B. Geiger ~ Watt, Zurich Switzerland

Perfect Getaway ~ Sherri and her team are full of information and ideas; they make staying in Cozumel feel like home. You can't beat getting away from the tourist traps and enjoying the incredible food and sights of Cozumel. We loved being able to wake up to the quiet pool area to start our day. We made several trips to PalMar where we snorkeled, ate amazing ceviche, and learned all about the butterfly sanctuary. We can't wait to go back, and now we know why so many people come and stay for weeks at a time! J. & B. Johnson ~ Mineral Wells, TX USA

Thanks for such great attention to helping the process. I was struggling with feeling confident in ordering on Thrifty, Budget, Dollar or Avis web sites for Cozumel. Your site provide clarity in understanding the piers and providing confidence in how to pick-up the car at the location we would most likely be docking. Thank you for that. I look forward to having transportation near at hand for myself and my parents. R. Taylor (December 2015) ~ Laguna Niguel, CA USA

As always, it has been GREAT! I never know what to write in here! An observation - This is year 5 staying here at IslaMar (or is it 4 or 6?)! I look forward to staying here again next year. I hope my actions convey my positive feelings better than my words. Bob R. ~ Triadelphia, WV

IslaMar is a place away from the tourist area, which we really enjoyed! Everything is accessible on foot and it is good to enjoy the neighborhood with the inhabitants of Cozumel. It is easy to take a taxi or go to a moped rental to explore the island. The staff was there for us from reception to check out, Andrea's many helpful tips. The site is very well maintained, every day the team is there to take care of the property. The apartment was immaculate upon our arrival. We definitely recommend IslaMar for your stay in Cozumel. It is good to enjoy the pool after a hot day at the cocktail hour while cooking some dishes with Mexican flavor! E. Vezina ~ Quebec City, Quebec, CAN
