Nacional, dancing live music (son and merengue) at the bar of a local 5-star hotel (free admission), guided tours of the city, cultural institutions and other points of interest.

Short of time? Eager to accomplish as much as possible in a limited time frame? Opt for a personalized course and learn at your own pace.

In these private individual classes, neither you nor your teacher will have to consider the pace or interests of other students, as you would in a group course. Another option is our Best of Both course which combines intensive Spanish classes in group with a series of private classes.

Students will receive personal attention from the beginning to the end. Your advisor will analyze your goals and create apersonalized program with specic content and additional activities that may include excursions, tours, visits, etc. For private classes on specic subjects, we would be happy to prepare content on literature, business or any other subject with advance notice. You may also invite a friend or partner to take part in your private classes.

I started learning Spanish in Dominican Republic and for me it has been a marvelous experience. I was really satisfied with the excellent teachers and good teaching quality. Due to my classes at don Quijote, I learned a lot of Spanish in a short period of time. I would like to recommend enrolling in don Quijote.
