Oaxaca Spanish Language Schools Oaxaca Mexico, Cultural Immersion
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 Spanish Language Schools in Oaxaca Mexico include Cultural
Immersion. Lessons include cooking, dancing and weekend hiking,
biking, visits to artisans, art museums, and tours of pre-Hispanic ruins.
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 Cultural de Oaxaca: This well established language school has a spacious
campus with many small class rooms and outdoor space beneath shading palm trees.

old building at M. Bravo #210, in the Plaza San
Cristobal, the Becari Language school offers 3 hour

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.

Instituto Amigos del Sol
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.
