`I spent a fantastic week at Mar Azual with Gaby and within that week my spanish improved immensly, Isa has been one of the best professors of spanish I have EVER come across and would highly recommend her school, classes and home to all. She teachers in a very logical and fun way making spainish easy to learn....my only regret is not having stayed longer!`DANIELLA ZLOTOGOURA England

Well, it was time for a holiday. I also wanted to improve my Spanish. I like the sea, the beach, ... And I wanted to visit Ecuador again. I like the country. So I decided this time I'll go to the coast of Ecuador. My hostal "Los cactus" was en Manglaralto - a nice, small village - the perfect place to relax. The spanish-school "Mar azul" was in Montanita, near Manglaralto. Montanita is a very good place to surf, to relax on the beach (and to party). The school "Mar azul" is near the beach. I had private classes - 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. I wanted to speak as much as possible. It's also possible to start earlier or later. The time table is flexible. During my stay I had two teachers - Isabel and Miquel. They are both from Ecuador. We spoke about different topics, read short stories, made different exercises, .... Well, time is flying, when you are having fun. And the classes were fun. And they also gave me advices for my trips. I really enjoyed my stay in Ecuador. The only disadvantage was, that I had to return to Germany.
