Authentic Spanish or Maya Language Immersion

My experience with Na'atik was incredible. I stayed in Carrillo for two weeks and enjoyed every minute. The classes were very helpful and covered a wide array of topics. Coming in I had little practical Spanish experience, but now I feel much more confidence. Not only were the classes amazing, I also had an very positive experience with my host family. They were welcoming and supportive and made an effort to include me despite my limited Spanish. They also provided me with an amazing place to stay and three delicious meals per day. The Na'atik excursions were also a highlight. During my stay I enjoyed a bike ride in the jungle, a tortilla making class, a trip to Chancchoben and Bacalar, and a cenote swim. Additionally, I was also able to explore Carrillo thanks the the bike provided by Na'atik. I highlight recommend this program. Everyone at Na'atik is amazing!

I had a wonderful time studying at Na’atik. This is my second time here and it was been amazing. My homestay family was awesome, the food tasted great, and you have frequent and easy opportunities to immerse yourself into the local communities. Additionally, my Spanish improved so much and is significantly better than it was before. The classes have definitely taught me more than those that I take at home. Overall it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend.

I enjoyed my time at Na’atik! I think it was great experience for me and great way to immerse myself in the culture. I woke up and spoke Spanish with my host family and ate food from the Spanish cuisine. I got to walk around Felipe Carrillo, which is a very safe, beautiful, town and try lots of different foods and just explore another part of the world. I think staying for longer than a week is definitely helpful, but that was the only time I had. If you want to be immersed in the language then I would try this program because not only do you get that you get it in a real environment without a tourist influences. Loved my teacher and time here!
