Oaxaca Language Schools
Oaxaca's language schools teach amid a
bounty of cultural excellence that could be
Mexico's best kept cultural secret. Located in the
middle of South Central Mexico between two
mountain ranges, Oaxaca is home to many
indigenous people who are multi lingual,
speaking Spanish and still using 17 or so
indigenous languages in the mountains and
valleys. They do not, however, use English and
this makes studying language at one of Oaxaca's
language schools a perfect environment for those
wanting to study language in total immersion.    
Oaxaca Language Schools
include weekend hiking,
biking, visits to artisans, art
museums, and tours of pre
Hispanic ruins.  Language
schools in Oaxaca offer so
much to do in a city that is
non English speaking they
make Oaxaca a great place to
study language.
Language schools in Oaxaca number at
least eight, both large and small,
teaching Spanish in the city.    Many
private instructors teach the finer
subtleties to those acquiring specific  
language skills. ($10-11. USD Per
Hour)
This article will discuss the established
schools and list a few of the private
teachers along with a side bar of events
to plan for while visiting Oaxaca City.

established language school has a spacious

outdoor space beneath shading palm trees.

Instituto de
Communicacion y
Cultura:
Known as
the
 ICC, the institute  
was founded in 1986  
and is located within
a fine old building on
a pedestrian only
street. The ICC  is a
well respected school
and offers 3- hour  
programs with many
electives and helps
with home stays with
a local family that
would include meals.
The ICC also offer
some unique
opportunities that
would have a student
working with the local
people in some
interesting volunteer
slots helping local
groups who aid
families and children.
This immersion also
gives the language
student a chance to
practice conversation
while doing some
good for those less
fortunate.

Grammar in the morning, conversation at noon,
weaving, cooking, or Salsa dancing in the
afternoon, and intercambio, a cultural
interchange, in the late afternoon might leave
your head spinning but the total immersion
moves you quickly into the culture and rhythm of
Oaxacan Spanish.
Four hundred sixty USD a month including the
electives and help finding housing with a local
family that will include family meals makes this
one of the most complete program in Oaxaca.
They also include lectures by visiting scholars,
films, and field trips for various weekend events.

Oaxaca's Language schools listed here are located in the modern City of Oaxaca where the
preserved and historic colonial center offers a mix of accommodations from
luxury hotels, inns,
B&Bs,  
posada, and hostels. The language schools also offer home stays that include meals.
Jet flights to Oaxaca's modern airport put the study of language as well as the culinary tour, a
ruins tour, or a hiking, biking, and camping tour in the mountains within easy reach for the
traveler or the vacationer.
Great restaurants, reasonable car rentals, good
bus service, and the proximity to Huatulco resort
beaches and the
surfing beaches of Puerto Escondido make Oaxaca a great place to study
language or for a vacation.
