Founded in 1989, Centro Bilingüe Amerindia is one of the oldest language schools in Xela. Its university-trained instructors teach classes in Spanish as well as Mayan languages in a family environment. School profits go to various development projects. Over the years the school has started a few sucessful devlopment projects and is currently working on one in a rural community near the coast called Morelia. CBA's director lives at the school with his family and they are extremely welcoming to students. The instructors plan various optional activities during the afternoons such as dance and cooking lessons, visits to see how chocolate is processed locally, discussions on various cultural and historical topics. They are also helpful in finding volunteer oportunities for students to pursue and can place you into a variety of welcoming homestay families. | For the project in Morelia, see: http://www.laceibaguatemala.org/ Phone: <snip> or <snip> Address: 12 Avenida 10-27, Zona 1 Quetzaltenango, Guatemala Directions: Three Blocks below Parque Central Website: http://www.cbaspanishschool.com/home.html [Edited: 07:24 - Jo Trouble - Please contact via TravelBlog profile page.] Number of Users: 1 | Number of Posts: 1 | ||||||
