2 group lessons (Course A) + 2 one to one preparation lessons for the official exam, per day / 20 lessons per week
Specific Spanish courses as a preparation for the DELE exam (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera – Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language). This exam is organized and realized worldwide by Instituto Cervantes on all levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
The DELE diplomas are internationally recognized and enjoy a high reputation both in the academic field and businesses, facilitating labor promotion and access to higher education in Spanish speaking countries.
In these courses we focus on the learning and strengthening of the grammar contents required on each level as well as the oral expression and interaction skills, taking into account the different varieties of Spanish. We work with concrete examples based on the exams of previous years with the help of specific textbooks and other audiovisual materials, with the main objective to offer our students the necessary skills to pass the exam successfully.
Our teachers are highly qualified and experienced in the preparation for the DELE exam.
The different options to attend a DELE course:
1) Combine an intensive course (course A) with 2 hours of preparation for the DELE exam daily
2) Private lessons exclusively for the preparation of the DELE exam
3) Long term courses for those students who stay in Montevideo for several months. The duration of the course depends on the respective level of the student.
Contents of the DELE classes:
Grammar, exercises from previous exams, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, conversation
Requirements to enroll:
The student will have to take a level test that will be evaluated by our teachers, and depending on the result they will tell you which exam you can prepare for.
Those students who are already preparing for the exam in their country can also send us the evaluation of their own teacher.

I studied at Centro de Enseñanza for only a week and the experience was good. The teachers (especially Maribel) are engaged and are always trying to promote speaking during classes. The school is in a central location and the building has all the facilities that a student may need.
The school should review the fee of the material used in class. I don't know if it is the same for everybody, but I paid about 30 dollars and just received some sheets of paper. Also, the assessment test should be done before the payment of the course. This way the school can recommend the best course and the students won't have problems with the values further.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Marina! We’re glad you enjoyed your classes with Maribel and found the school central and well-equipped. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding course materials and the assessment process. Since then, we’ve reviewed our materials and enrollment procedures to make them clearer and more helpful for our students.
I loved the course, the people involved in the school. Margot and her daughter are nice people interested. Not usufuí of the habitation, The teachers are very good interactive, but especially the teacher Maribel excellent teacher. The location is very good in a nice neighborhood and I went on foot every day without needing transportation

When I arrived in Montevideo I was supposed to start my stay with a 2 week course, but on my first day in Uruguay, I got an email (from my supervisor of the project after my Spanish course) that I had to change all my plans because something changed. I was invited to the school to have some coffee, discuss this and just talk a bit. This really helped me to chill again and we rescheduled the course. Also, they showed me the nice school and good rooms they offered so I stayed there for the first week.
The course itself was great. I would really recommend to take not only group but also individual classes. For me this was really important because I was a bit scared of talking in Spanish and it really helped me a lot!
The school also organized a lot of activities. They also had a nice mate class with some history and explanation of how to prepare and drink mate. Thank for that! I am still enjoying the mate every day!
Thanks for your kind words, Hannah!
It is always a pleasure to help our students and make them feel comfortable during their stay in Uruguay.
We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying mate tea—now you can teach the Dutch how to prepare this typical Uruguayan drink.
Un fuerte abrazo from the entire La Herradura team
I decided to take classes with La Herradura because I needed a crash course in Spanish as I began my year abroad living in Montevideo, and I could not have made a better choice. La Herradura begins every week with a very friendly tea break in order for the new students to be introduced and to explain how the school works and the different activities available which really helped to ease new student anxiety. The classes were very helpful in making a mental change to thinking in Spanish because there is very little or no English used at all. Although having grammar lessons in Spanish was frustrating at first, it really helped me to change my way of thinking. Both the Spanish and grammar classes are not as boring as I thought they would be because we are constantly talking about our lives and doing activities that are actually interesting and often times fun. All the teachers at La Herradura are extremely kind and helpful and encourage students to stray outside the comfort zone, which has expanded my vocabulary a lot. The only complaint that I had is that during the winter the classrooms can be a bit cold; however, I understand that this is more of a characteristic of Montevideo in general, not just this school. I really enjoyed my month with La Herradura and feel that my Spanish has improved tremendously.
Ver los detalles » Leer más...Thank you, Chase! We’re thrilled to hear that your month with us helped improve your Spanish so much. It’s great that you enjoyed the tea breaks, interactive classes, and the immersive approach, even when grammar in Spanish felt challenging at first. We appreciate your feedback about the classrooms in winter and are glad it didn’t affect your overall experience. Wishing you continued success with your Spanish!
Probably have a biased opinion as Montevideo, for me, wasn't a lively city and the food is definitely bland with very little variety:
As stated above my classes were private although I wanted a group environment,and I found my teacher, although very knowledgeable, lacked enthusiasm. The accommodations were adequate, however the school is looking for a new location and was not into making maintenance a priority. Despite this the family was very gracious and helpful, the location was near the river with its long rambla which was a great treat for me. I understand the new location will be even closer.
The arranged activities were very good as well.
Thank you for your feedback, Sheilah! We’re glad you appreciated the activities and the support from our team during your stay. We also appreciate your honest comments regarding your classes and accommodations. Since then, we’ve been working hard on improving our facilities and relocating to a new space to provide a more comfortable and engaging environment for all students. We hope you keep enjoying Spanish and have fond memories of your time in Montevideo!
Conversation classes were very good , although repetitive if the grammar was bad, because when I arrived I walked into a group that has already started and did not get the handout , no one explained how the course would be administered . I just received a handout level A1 in the second week and have not had anyone review the previous classes. The grammar I learned in my first week was the same as the second, ie I was not given anything new. It really was a lot to like learning .
The location was excellent school for me, because I was very close to my house. The school organized a horseback ride and I paid $600.00. However the time we returned, we were left at a bus stop at night, around 8:00 pm and had to pay for the passage home at the end of the night, nothing was said about it, I was very upset.
I really enjoyed the reception at the airport, because I was afraid to come and find nobody waiting for me, but someone was there with my name in hand, and he took me home just right, I loved it .
I also enjoyed the hosts and my housing .
Overall it was a rewarding experience and I want to repeat it.
Thank you, Maria! We’re glad you enjoyed your conversation classes, the airport reception, and your housing. We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the course materials and the horseback activity—we’ve reviewed our procedures to make things clearer for all students. It’s wonderful to hear that overall you had a rewarding experience, and we look forward to welcoming you back!
I did enjoy the classes, teachers, and classmates. The atmosphere of the school is light, amusing and friendly. It was great to have the chance to be in touch with people from different countries. Margo and her daughter are sweet and do their best to help us. As to the classrooms I suggest fans or a central air conditioned system should be installed. It was quite hot! What disappointed me was the housing. The bathroom is too small and far from the bedroom. Besides that I´m sorry to say that the hostess didn´t seem to be happy with my presence although I did my best to please her. I´m sorry I stayed only a week because I couldn´t take part in the activities that interested me most.

I think that was a wonderful course. The people and the school were very agreeable and helpful, as well the activities. I'm just sorry I couldn't stay for more time to appreciate them. I believe that now I could improve my understanding about Spanish and I am very happy. If possible, I will be back soon.

It was a great experience and I hope to return there someday... I managed to improve my Spanish and can now speak fluently. The teachers were crucial for my learning as well as the teaching material and structure offered. The people in Uruguay are very receptive and I made a lot of friends. I commend the Center of Teaching Herradura to all who wish to learn Spanish.
