Me han gustado mucho las lecciones como siempre. Esta vez solo vine por una semana para practicar y repetir mi español! Me gustó mucho que podría yo también dar sugerencias sobre el contenido de las lecciones. Fueron una mezcla de conversación, un poco de gramática, algunos verbos y expresiones idiomáticas y también leí un cuento corto de Vargas Llosa, anotando las palabras nuevas. Magda es una buena profesora que me ayudó mucho corrigiéndome cuando cometía un error y ayudándome para que avanzara. ¡Gracias por todo y hasta la próxima vez!

Tengo algo que decir que es muy directo y muy simple: La enseñanza del docente asignado a mi Marcial Lováton era excelente hablamos por cuatro horas cada día sobre todos los asuntos imaginables. Es un hombre muy culto y bien preparado. Tiene un léxico muy amplio en consecuencia mi español ha adelantado mucho, hablo mas fluidamente y cometo menos errores creo también que me doy cuenta de mis debilidades y por eso yo se que es lo que tengo que hacer para perfeccionar mi español.
Al mismo tiempo tengo más confianza que tuvo al inicio de mis clases.

Y o fui una vez a una clase de cerámica fue una experiencia muy agradable El maestro, Don Rómulo me ayudo para que yo lograra hacer varias cosas, lo mas importante es que ahora tengo la intención de continuar, después un lapso de veinte años haciendo cerámica

Me gusto mucho el viaje que hizo la escuela, hace una semana, a la granja donde crecen varias especies de camellos me agrado el sentimiento de solidaridad entre los estudiantes y los docentes.

Yo le agradezco mucho a Marcial por su ayuda y por su amistad yo he aprendido mucho de la política peruana y de la vida

Muchas gracias por todo! He aprendido mucho y Gina era muy amable, con paciencia cuando tenía frustración. Todo el mundo en la escuela era muy profesional y me gusto las caminatas, lecciones de salsa y otras opciones para aprender más sobre la cultura acá en Cusco.
Había una mezcla de estudiantes de todo el mundo que hicieron la experiencia muy educacional y divertida.
Muchas gracias por todo y tal vez regrese para practicar y aprender más
¡Ciao!

I enjoyed my experience at Excel – I thought the school was professional I well runned. I learned a fair amount. I really liked the extra activities that the school offered – I loved the caminata a Lares, and the salsa lessons were fun.
I think it is important to offer experiences outside of the classroom.
I think the intensive classes were beneficial. On the while I had a very positive experience at Excel and would recommend the school to others.

I have enjoyed my week at Excel and my stay with Marina and her family. During my classes I was able to practice speaking Spanish the entire tine and improve my understanding of the past tense verbs. I also learned a lot about the culture of Peru through my conversations with Elsa. I though that everyone at Excel was very helpful in making my stay in Cusco easier and I liked that there were opportunities to go places after the class, Marina and her family have been wonderful to me and I would recommend Excel with this family to my friends .

My comments are, the lessons from Naty are very good, she help me very well. Especially with the grammatical, and that’s wad I need so much.
So I learn very much in a good mood, jokes locking etc. The school is a good place to be, in the centre, nearly a lot of busses.
The classes are good
Totally I have a very good time at Excel, also the excursions are good, and the teachers who assist the excursions are also good, and prepared.
So id was good, I spent my time very well.
Thanks you

Loren Rice (USA)

I came to Excel having no experience with Spanish. By only using Spanish as the medium for instruction I quickly began to pick up on using the language both in class and out of class as mean to communicate. The classroom provide a place where it was safe to speak and make mistakes, and learn form those mistakes. I found Luis to be an excellent professor, and he came to also be a friend. I think that is what I enjoyed most about my time at Excel, Luis was not just a teacher I had to do my homework for but a friend with the skills to teach me to speak Spanish, and the patience to continue to correct me
I have learned many languages Cantonese, Mandarin, Kazak, German, and Arabic, some in schools and some independently. My school experiences have not always been positive because of the emphasis placed on grammar and rules, rather than speaking. I can honestly say Excel has been one of my best “School based” language learning experiences
Thanks.

Many thanks for wonderful classes and visit to Cusco. Lyda was a great teacher very comprehensive in presenting verbs and in making us both speak and write in Spanish.
My husband and I also greatly appreciate the wonderful help of Katlin and Barbara in arranging wonderful trips around the city and to Machu Picchu. They went way over of their way to make this a terrific experience in Cusco.
I would heartly recommend Excel School for people who want to learn Spanish and learn about Peru.
Gracias por todos

¡Una gran experiencia! Mi profesora era de la primera clase, sabía precisamente como mantener mi atención. El tiempo voló. Mi español mejoró. Yo voy a recomendar la escuela y a mi profesora a mis amigos.
La familia Iturri era perfecto para nosotros. Nos asistía felizmente y con inteligencia.
Catlin en particular nos daba muchísima ayuda
¡No tengo quejas!

I really enjoyed my time at Excel, and I feel that I now have a better understanding of the grammar I learned in college. I love how Elsa engages the students in conversation, and is always interested in activities you have done. I feel very comfortable talking with Elsa, and this daily practice has greatly improved my ability to speak Spanish. When I do not understand something. She was very patient with me and was able to explain things so that I understood.
Thank you Excel!

Naty is an excellent Spanish teacher. She is very good about balancing grammar with conversation. I also liked that that she catered our weaknesses. It seems like she picked up on things we had problems with and built her lessons around that. She is also very friendly and welcoming.

When I arrived at Excel, I couldn’t speak Spanish; I knew almost nothing of the language. However, after eight weeks of classes I can speak and understand Spanish much better, far from perfect, but I have a good base for traveling, practicing and improving. I had the good luck of learning from two teachers who have a fantastic ability for teaching the language thanks very much to both Marcial and Lyda.
Also living a Cusquenian family was a beautiful experience. I especially liked the food.
With Peruvians, I also met students from many countries who wanted to learn Spanish, like my self. Although we usually spoke in English, it was good to make new friends. For this reason, however I hope that in the future there will be more opportunities for Spanish students to talk with English students. in this way, students would be able to help each other.
Finally, thanks you very much EXCEL. Learning Spanish for me was fun, interesting and of course very important for traveling and for living in the USA today.

Cuando llegue a EXCEL, no podía hablar español, sabia casi nada de la idioma. Sin embargo después de ocho semanas de clases puedo hablar y entender español, muy lejos de perfecto, pero tengo un buen base para viajar y practicar y mejorar. Tenía la buena suerte de aprender de dos profesores que tienen una habilidad fantastica para enseñar la idioma. Muchas gracias a ambos a Marcial y Lyda también viviendo con una familia cuzqueña fue una experiencia bonita. Especialmente me gusto la comida además de peruanos, también había conocido estudiantes de muchos países que querían aprender español como yo aunque hablábamos usualmente ingles, fue bueno conocer nuevos amigos. Por eso sin embargo espero que en el futuro habrá mas oportunidades para estudiantes de español hablar con estudiantes de ingles. En esta manera los estudiantes podrían ayudar el uno al otro.
Por fin, muchas gracias a las escuela EXCEL. Aprendido español para mi divertido, interesante y por su puesto muy importante para viajar y para vivir en EEUU hoy día Hasta siempre.

From our first point of contact, the personnel of Excel has been extremely helpful. We always received quick replies to our e-mail and the information was always helpful. Our host family has consistently gone above and beyond their can of duty. We were very nervous about leaving our toddler son in the hands of people we did not know, but the
“niñeras” and the family have loved and cared for Fisher as one of their own. We highly recommend the Iturri family to other students. they have become special friends that will remain part of our family.

The semi private lessons suited our needs and Lyda’s experience showed as she tailored the time spent perfectly. Many thanks to our teacher for explaining and making Spanish a lot easier to understand…
Muchas Gracias
I would recommend Lyda to anyone I meet as we loved her style of teaching.

Helen Milne (England)

I have enjoyed my lessons with Lyda, she has a lot of experience and was able to explain things very clearly.
We asked for an emphasis on conversation and we received this, I liked the way she put notes on the blackboard and then checked our understanding by asking us to use the material on the board in conversation.
The packs we received after registering were very useful. I particularly liked the verb table
Very useful.
I would recommend Excel to other travelers.

Siempre es necesario quejarse de algo? Si es, no lo puedo.
Porque estas 619 horas de español y los descansos, dinners, horas de baile y caminatas me ayudaron tanto.
Me alegro mucho de que hayan disfrutado este tiempo tambien un poco, como y he hecho muchísimo.
Muchas gracias por enseñar, ayudar y soportar.
Gracias a: Kati y Wilma por aprender al fin nuestros nombres y estar paciente cuando no pagábamos puntual.
Theresa y Josmil por hacer un ambiente como es.
Esther y Julian por darnos la oportunidad de estar aquí.
Paul por organizar tanto.
Todos los profesores por ayudarnos, enseñarnos, reir con nosotras, especialmente a nuestras profesores: Magda y Marcial y sobre todo lo mas importante a Luis, no puedo decir suficiente gracias con palabras.
Les extrañare.

I enjoyed my time at Excel. I enjoyed my teacher, she did a great job explaining things to us and the class was enjoyable. I also thought that the school did a good job of planning activities and helping us get a good experience. I’m glad that I came and I hope I can come back some day.
