Any reviews on this school?? I want to completely immerse myself in the Spanish language and try to avoid English.. Any recommendations on living accommodations?? thanks!!
Congratulations on your move. I think you will really enjoy your experience at Solexico. They are very professional as are their course materials. How long will you be studying there? If you can, I highly recommend staying with a host family which can be arranged through the school itself. It is very difficult to avoid English here in Playa. Staying with a host family will help you use the Spanish you are learning everyday. Other than that, how much English/Spanish you use is up to you. I know people who have lived here for years and don't know more than 5 words in Spanish. The onus is on you to use what you learn. Good luck. You are going to love it here.
