Trips within Quito: A huge part of learning Spanish is to continually converse outside the classroom. Therefore, we encourage students to spend classroom time visiting the city along with their professors. The instructors can take you to museums, churches, parks and Indian markets at no additional cost. Suddenly, you've got a language teacher and a tourism guide in one person!
