Spanish Language School on the border

Can't Post | Private Reply

Hello all,
This website is great, what a high yield of quality information!
Does anyone have any suggestions for a spanish language school on either side of the border near McAllen, TX. I will be relocating there next month for a new job. I am excited about the idea of learning some Spanish and exploring some of Mexico from there. I have performed the usual web searches but found nothing so far.
Thanks in advance.

Try SouthTexas community college in Mcallen. Lots of courses from beginning conversation and up.

Hello,

Try some of the religious organizations. There is a group that runs a well recognized Spanish school in Edinburg. I have met several pastors of Evangelical churches here in Mexico who learned their Spanish there. The Seventh Day Adventists used to run a well recognized school in Brownsville. I went there for six months. They also run a world recognized Spanish Language school of the total immersion type for Doctors and businessmen in Linares near Monterrey. I made arrangements to attend there for a month but my money evaporated and I never went. But a month there is guaranteed to have the Doctors and businessmen and you speaking with sufficient fluency to make Mexico a pleasure for the rest of their/your life. There are many fly-by-night schools all over Mc Allen, none of which I can recommend.

But the ones above, I can recommend without any worries.
Good luck.

Adios. jerezano.
