Why study Spanish in Copán Ruinas?
We at Ixbalanque believe that Copán Ruinas offers the Spanish student the perfect balance of educational excellence and cultural opportunity. Yes, there are large cities (Antigua, Oaxaca) where you can also study Spanish. And , of course, a city of 500,000 people will have more attractions -and, distractions!- than a town of 6,000. Still, if your goal is to learn Spanish in a cultural context, we feel very strongly that a small town with a world-class cultural heritage is far better suited to achieving that goal. Antigua, for example, has 97 language schools, all within a few blocks of the town center. Assume at any given time that each school has ten students, and you’ll see that your “immersion experience” will be shared with a thousand other students speaking English, French, German, Swedish or Italian, but when they meet each other, they are definitely not speaking Spanish! In Copán Ruinas, by contrast, the 20-30 students in town will be truly immersed in a non-cosmopolitan populat
