Juan Rulfo School

I take classes 2 hours for 3 days each week. Usually my teacher is Luis Gomez who speaks very clearly and explains grammar, meaning of new words, and other aspects important in learning a language. Luis also has exposed me to different parts of Mexican culture which I find very interesting.

I take the classes remotely through the internet which is very convenient for me since I can just sit at home. We use the lesson book "Dicho y hecho" throughout our lessons and usually I have homework assignments for the next lesson.

Also Luis presented in a discussion group through Zoom the history of some of Mexico's poets and writers. His graphics were very helpful in following the discussion. I learned a great deal that I had never known before.

The presentation by Luis Gomez was superbly done with very well written graphics to aid in the discussion of the subject. Mexican literature is hardly known in the USA so I found it very informative and interesting. Luis speaks very clearly and at a moderate tempo so he is easy to understand.

It is a very professional school!!! With great pedagogy, great teachers... it make a great difference. I have improved twice faster than With my last teacher

I have studied languages for almost 60 years. First French then Spanish and finally Japanese. Since I moved permanently to Mexico in 2019 I wanted to improve my Spanish. I met Carlos Torres in Puerto Escondido and he told me about the Juan Ruflo Spanish language program. I enrolled. I am now in B1 and I feel I can say with certainty that this is probably the finest language program I have ever experienced. From the professor who is well trained, patient, intuitive and playful to the thoughtful organization of the classes with equal parts grammar studies, dictation, conversation, interspersed with cultural information about Mexico, the entire program is professional. well conceived and thoughtfully administered. I don’t know of another Spanish language program in Mexico with this quality nor perfection.

I enjoyed studying with Centro Escolar Juan Rulfo. I participated in an intensive study program, and I had an excellent writing and grammar instructor. Many of the documentaries and media selected to practice listening comprehension were thought-provoking and well suited to my interests. I benefited dramatically from speaking and conversation focused study at the end of my short program with Centro Escolar Juan Rulfo.
