Oaxaca Language Schools
Oaxaca's language schools teach amid a bounty of cultural excellence that could be Mexico's best
kept cultural secret. Located in the middle of South Central Mexico between two mountain ranges, Oaxaca is
home to many indigenous people who are multi lingual, speaking Spanish and still using 17 or so indigenous
languages in the mountains and valleys. They do not, however, use English and this makes studying language at
one of Oaxaca's language schools a perfect environment for those wanting to study language in total immersion.
   
Oaxaca language schools include
weekend hiking, biking, visits to
artisans, art museums, and tours of
pre Hispanic ruins.  Language schools
in Oaxaca offer so much to do they
make Oaxaca a great place to study
language.
Language schools in Oaxaca number at least eight, both large and small, teaching Spanish in
the city.    Many private instructors teach the finer subtleties to those honing their language
skills. ($10-11. USD Per Hour) This article will discuss the established schools and list a few
of the private teachers along with a side bar of events to plan for while visiting Oaxaca City.

Instituto de Communicacion y Cultura: Known as the  ICC, the institute  was founded in
1986  and is located within a fine old building on a pedestrian only street. The ICC  is a well
respected school and offers 3- hour  programs with many electives and helps with home stays with
a local family that would include meals.
The ICC also offer some unique opportunities that would have a student working with the local
people in some interesting volunteer slots helping local groups who aid families and children. This
immersion also gives the language student a chance to practice conversation while doing some
good for those less fortunate.

Grammar in the morning, conversation at
noon, weaving, cooking, or Salsa dancing
in the afternoon, and intercambio, a
cultural interchange, in the late afternoon
might leave your head spinning but the
total immersion moves you quickly into the
culture and rhythm of Oaxacan Spanish.
Four hundred sixty USD a month including
the electives and help finding housing with
a local family that will include family meals
makes this one of the most complete
program in Oaxaca.
They also include lectures by visiting
scholars, films, and field trips for various
weekend events.

Oaxaca's Language schools listed here are located in the modern City of Oaxaca
where the preserved and historic colonial center offers a mix of accommodations
from luxury hotels, inns, B&Bs,  posada, and hostels. The language schools also
offer home stays that include meals.
Jet flights to Oaxaca's modern airport put the study of language as well as the
culinary tour, a ruins tour, or a hiking, biking, and camping tour in the mountains
within easy reach for the traveler or the vacationer.
Great restaurants, reasonable car rentals, good bus service, and the proximity to
Huatulco resort beaches and the surfing beaches of Puerto Escondido make Oaxaca
a great place to study language or for a vacation.
