I loved my experience learning Spanish with PLFM and Armando! I think it was the best learning experience I could have asked for — one-on-one classes, a beautiful garden, endless coffee, and a really great home stay experience as well (complete with a very cute little pup). My Spanish definitely improved and I learned a lot about some of the finer grammar points that no one had ever taught me in classes I took in the States (like the differences between por and para — so helpful to know!!) I spent 2 weeks there but wish I would have done longer to feel more comfortable with speaking and to be able to explore more around Guatemala and Antigua. Antigua itself is one of the best cities I have had the pleasure of visiting. There are so many little cafes and beautiful spots even in unexpected places (like the local Starbucks or McDonalds). Highly, highly recommend, and I hope I can find my way back there soon! Read Less

I cannot recommend PLFM enough to everyone that I speak with. We had the most incredible time in Antigua, and the stay would not have been complete without PLFM. Our host family (Carolina and family) was absolutely amazing, and I truly have no complaints at all. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful in every aspect of our stay. The school is so helpful when scheduling local activities, and of course the classes themselves were perfect. The school is incredibly beautiful, and the one-on-one classes were so helpful in improving my Spanish in a short amount of time. I only wish that I could have spent more time there, and I look forward to coming back again soon! ❤️ Read Less

If you are considering studying Spanish in Antigua, you won't regret choosing PLFM. The learning environment is an immaculately kept garden filled with passionate instructors, students, and administrators who support you at every step of the learning process. Everyone was incredibly friendly, and I met many wonderful people who have positively influenced my life. I am truly better off for the experience. Thank you to everyone who contributed to my journey. I had an absolutely incredible experience studying at PLFM and cannot recommend the school enough. I messaged the school around 6:30 AM and, incredibly, was in class with a host family scheduled by 8 AM. Initially, I planned to study for four weeks, but I extended my stay by an additional three weeks due to the significant progress I saw in a short period. My instructor, Belton, was amazing (highly recommend) and tailored the lessons to my interests and objectives in learning Spanish. I can now confidently have conversations with native speakers, and if I don’t know exactly how to say something, I have methods to effectively communicate my thoughts. The school and my instructor went out of their way to organize field trips that aligned with my interests, such as visits to the Museo Numismático de Guatemala, Chimaltenango, the Temple of San Simón in San Andrés Itzapa, Walmart in Guatemala City, the Guatemala City Railway Museum, and other memorable journeys utilziing chicken buses (camionetas or burras). If you study at PLFM, you will be more than satisfied. Read Less
