Visit the Local Market: Spend some time getting lost in the market and watch Guatemalans do their shopping. Big market days are Monday, Thursdays and Saturdays. Behind the covered part is where people set up fruit and vegetable stands.

People Watching From the Parque Central: Families and couples come to Antigua from the surrounding towns and Guatemala City to “dominguiar” which translates to “wander around on a Sunday.”

The best of the country

Food & Drinks

Music & Dance

It is primarily influenced by the country's Mayan and Spanish cultures. Corn, beans, rice, cheese and tortillas form the backbone of most Guatemalan meals. Many meals in Guatemala take advantage of the country's abundant tropical fruits, like bananas, papaya, mangoes, and avocado.

The music of Guatemala is diverse. Music is played all over the country, even in the remotest corners. Towns also have wind and percussion bands -week processions, as well as on other occasions. Also, dozens of Rock bands have emerged in the last two decades, making rock music quite popular among young people.

Plastic Arts

Cinema

With varied influences, specially from the ancient civilizations once lived here, art is embedded in every corner of the country. Museums and art galleries offer, throughout the year, art exhibitions and various activities  presenting the different eras in the history of art.

Movies such as the american films "Across the Line" and "The fountain" were filmed in the country because of the outstanding landscapes it offers. Some local films you can find online are "El Silencio de Neto"  and "Los orígenes del silencio" both directed by Luis Argueta, an acclaimed film director and producer.
 

Science and technology

Sports

Guatemalan expenditure on research and development has incresed in the last years. You can find throughout the country many societies devoted to natural history, pediatrics, and engineering, and research institutes concerned with nuclear energy, industry, and earth sciences.

Guatemalans have a furious appetite for spectator sports and the daily papers always devote four or five pages to the subject. Football tops the bill, and if you get the chance to see a major game it's a thrilling experience, if only to watch the crowd.

Spare time

Literature

Guatemalans as most of Latin American people like to spend time with the family. On top of that, thanks to the nice weather and topography they get to do all sorts of outdoor activities such as kayaking, rock climbing, hiking, climbing volcanoes and festivals.

The "Popol Vuh", a compendium of Mayan stories and legends, is the most significant work of Guatemalan literature in the Quiché language. Today, literature is strongly influenced by politics. Most important writers are novelist Miguel Ángel Asturias, poet Luis Cardoza y Aragón, short story writer and novelist Augusto Monterroso and playwright Carlos Solórzano.

1. How is my Spanish level determined?

You will take a placement test on your first day to establish the Spanish course level you will attend to. You may change levels depending on your learning skills.

2. What happens if there is not a course available for my level?

If there isn’t a Spanish course according to your level, a course will be opened for you specially and you will have individual lessons until other students with the same level of Spanish arrive. The price of these individual lessons will keep the same as the group ones.

3. Can I take my lessons in different destinations?

You can take your Spanish lessons in different places in various countries in Latin America. It is possible to combine destinations in any of our schools in Latin America or Spain without extra charge. You will find the same teaching method in all our Spanish schools.

4. Will I get a certificate after finishing the program?

Yes, you will get a certificate that specifies the level of Spanish achieved and the amount of hours you have taken. You will get also a progress report which includes the skills developed during your course and a recommendation letter from your teacher.

5. Will I receive university credits?

You can receive university credits for attending to our schools but you should first visit your school’s language department in order to know the specific requirements. Common requests from universities are: course syllabus, talking to other teachers who know the program, classroom hours, course levels, academic policies, receiving progress reports from your teachers while abroad and giving you a test upon your return. We will help you gather all the necessary paperwork and you may schedule an interview with your academic advisor if needed.

6. How am I going to develop my Spanish skills?

Our methods combine both theory and practice, addressing all of the linguistic and functional pragmatic aspects of the spoken language, along with key socio-cultural information essential for you to gain proficiency and in order to achieve your goals. Grammar, reading, writing, listening, speaking and vocabulary are always integrated in order to approximate you to an authentic communicative environment.
You will begin with practical situations. Grammar lessons will be introduced gradually during the process. Lessons' topics and contents are related to daily life’s situations.

7. How many levels are there?

COINED offers 3 different levels following the requisites and guidelines from the Common European Framework of Reference. Each level is divided into 2 sublevels varying from lesser to greater linguistic capability: Basic (A), Intermediate (B), Advanced (C).

8. How many lessons do I need to reach a different level?

It depends on the level you already have, the one you want to reach and the kind of program you are taking. If you are a beginner, it takes approximately 40 to 60 group lessons per week to get you into the next level. But if you don’t have enough time you can reduce the time at half by achieving the same level with private lessons. For further information please contact us. We will be happy to help.

9. Is the study material included in the Spanish course?

In almost every destination the study material, according to your level, is included. In case you choose a destination that doesn't include it, we will let you know.

10. What is a typical day like?

You can take lessons from 9 AM to 1 PM or from 2 PM until 6 PM according to your schedule and your program.
Afternoon classes (2 PM to 6 PM) are usually reserved for students requesting additional hours or different programs.
Many days include school activities in the afternoon or the evening.

11. When do I have to register to the program?

You should register at least four weeks before the program starts to guarantee you a spot in our schools.  For bookins done lless than four weeks before the start date, we cannot guarantee your place in a group but you can write or call us to check for availability in such cases.

12. If I want to combine destinations, do I have to register at each separate location?

No, if you are planning to combine your destination simply register at the location you will be at first, and then indicate which date you plan to switch to another school.
