Mundo Antiguo is more than just a school. It’s a community, a family, an experience. Everyone there is friendly, welcoming and helpful. From my first days with little Spanish to my final day-the seven weeks with them showed me the hospitality of Cusco and a world open with a new language. Teachers are well trained, helpful and supportive. I fully recommend this school. From group classes to private sessions, they meet you at your level and move to improve your skills. Never a dull moment, the classes move at a pace which keeps you motivated and engaged. Social events every weekday. Salsa clases, dinners out, language exchange, sport games and the best part…Friday afternoon cultural immersion! I could go on and on here, but you see the stellar reviews for this school. That’s why I selected to attend this school for nearly two months. You’ll be glad you chose Mundo Antiguo too! Being a former teacher and school administrator for 30 years, I was impressed at all levels of how this school is structured. Trust me and the 100’s of other 5 star reviews.
We had two weeks of private lessons and can highly recommend this school! Our teachers were very well organized and lessons were a great mix of practicing talking with workbook practice with playing interactive games. The activities the school had were so much fun, we especially liked the weekly football games and cultural enrichment activities. We are so happy to have experienced the homestay option and highly recommend doing this for at least part of the time. We’re a couple and chose to stay with Delia’s family who were extremely kind and had a cozy apartment. The 40ish minutes spent walking to the school in the mornings went by really fast and it was fun to experience all the things going on around you. The time spent talking with our homestay family in Spanish was invaluable for our learning. Don’t hesitate booking lessons with this school! Our Spanish has improved immensely.
I spent a month in cusco with Mundo Antiguo. It was amazing! The group classes have a maximum of 4 students, but some weeks I had only 2 or 3 total depending on the speaking level of who was attending. The teachers were awesome and did a great job of mixing grammar with speaking exercises. The school itself also hosted events in the evenings. Monday get to know everyone dinner at a restaurant, tuesday free salsa and bachata lessons, Wednesday sports night (futbol or volleyball), Thursday intercambio de idiomas, and friday afternoon a cultural event. There are 6-8 host families to choose from and from what I have heard all of them have been great. The accommodation includes breakfast, lunch and dinner and is very affordable. The school is also very flexible if you become ill while traveling or want to extend your learning/accommodations! Great experience, 100% recommend!
