Hola, Nice to hear from you. It depends on various factors such as type of course, where in Ecuador you'd like to learn Spanish (We have schools in Quito, Otavalo and offer Traveling Classrooms even to the Galapagos) and finally if you need to accommodation, too. You can find all prices on our website in the price section. The payment is made via bank transfer in advance (please include the transaction fees) or in cash upon arrival. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! All the best, Philip

Many thanks for your interest. Please visit our website for more information.

Hi kdos, Thank you for your interest. Generally we often have retired and elder students who attend Spanish courses at our school. This is neither strange nor exceptional. However, I can't confirm whether you are the only senior or not since that depends on the time when you are coming. Feel free to send us an email. We would love to help you learn or improve your Spanish. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Philip and the Ailola Quito team

Hi Vivienne, Thanks a lot for your message. It's absolutely fine to take Spanish lessons without accommodation at Ailola Quito. You can visit our school here in Quito when you arrive. However if you book beforehand, it's easier for us to accommodate your wishes. It allows us to plan ahead (especially if you are interested in private classes with your own teacher) so that you and we can start better prepared. It would be awesome if you choose our school to improve your Spanish. I would love hearing back from you. Feel free to drop us an email. Thanks so much and have a great flight, Philip

Hello Jawa, Absolutely. The majority of our students are beginners and have no or little knowledge of Spanish. You can start your program any Monday (group courses) or any business day (private courses). Since we teach in Spanish, you'll notice a fast progress. We would be glad to teach you Spanish and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Saludos, Philip

Hello Lou, Many thanks for your interest! You can take 3 or 4 days Spanish lessons with us. The best option would be private lessons that fit exactly to your level and needs.

We can organize for you accommodation in Hostal Rincón Familiar or in the Hotel Boutique Plaza Sucre. The prices are as follows: Rincón familiar: US$ 25 per night/person Hotel boutique Plaza sucre: Aprox. US$ 65 per night for a single room and aprox. US$ 78 for a double room You can reserve your program on our website. Just fill out the booking form and we send you all the necessary details for your stay.
