Alana McDonough
"Eco Spanish school offers a wonderful opportunity to learn and practice Spanish in a beautiful, friendly small town. San Juan was an idyllic setting for me to study and speak Spanish every day. My teacher helped me to learn quickly and challenged me to express myself--the one on one instruction is ideal
as you learn at your own pace and about subjects that are meaningful to you."
