Anyone have advice on Spanish-language courses in Latin America?

I've spent about three weeks in Mexico and absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I leave next Friday for Tanzania and won't be back in the United States until January, when I'll resume taking university courses.

My tentative plan is to obtain a CELTA in spring (my university offers month-long certification courses) and then spend all of next summer, May through late August, doing an immersive 20- or 25-hour-per week Spanish language class.

Thinking either Mexico (CDMX or Puebla), Guatemala (Antigua or Xela), or Colombia (Bogota), with preference for CDMX or Bogota.

Can anyone give me some insight on what to expect? How much did learning Spanish help you?

I want to do the Peace Corps + a master's degree after I graduate, and I know you need a fair degree of Spanish proficiency for the PC's Latin American programs.

Also, I'm 24 and paying out of pocket, so I don't have an unlimited budget funded by mommy and daddy.

Yo man, I've been studying Spanish for about a year and i would say I'm intermediate. I'm moving to Mexico in about a month to teach english, so i think we are doing the right thing my immersing ourselves in a Spanish speaking country.

Start studying Spanish prior to arriving where ever you take the course, so you can go further with the language. As for courses i don't have to much advice for you, but since your taking a CELTA/TEFL course, why don't you just teach english in Mexico or something? For the language center that i am going to work for offers free Spanish course.

I have to resume my studies at the beginning of September so I can graduate.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I imagine I wouldn't be able to find a teaching position that'd last only for summer.

At any rate, I currently earn enough from freelance writing that I don't really need to teach on top of that.

Ahhh i see, maybe study Spanish as an elective then? Learn as much as you can, then after you graduate you can teach english abroad and learn Spanish. My rule is i can't come back until I'm fluent.

Already took Arabic as my language elective several years ago.

I'm doing this to have fun as well as learn something new. I hardly spend money on activities other than travel or motorcycling, so I don't mind funneling some of my income towards an immersive Spanish course.

Most of the programs I've found between Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia are priced between $120 and $200 per week, which I could pretty easily afford for at least two or three months.

I've done a ton of backpacking since 2013 and am more or less looking to travel abroad, with the caveat of maintaining some stability. While I lived in India alone for a couple years, I got bored without having a defined mission or 'purpose.' I thinking staying in one place while learning Spanish would be a great way to expand my perspective while also being productive.

Right on man, Spanish is a fun language to learn. I wish you the best and i hope you find a sick immersion course. Latinas are my motivation, brown girl friend master race.

I have heard good things about the antigua schools.
Also a cool expat city
A few years ago when I was researching this, it was the cheapest option
