Studying in Colombia during the crisis

Cheryl
#1
Hi everyone,

in Colombia or elsewhere, school has inevitably been disturbed by the current pandemic. Studying abroad seems increasingly difficult as some borders remain closed, even to students.

Whether you are a student in Colombia or a parent of a student currently dealing with issues with school or university, we would like to get some feedback from you.聽

How was the start of the academic year?

Were you able to go to Colombia to study?

Were there any special measures in place to ensure social distancing? If so, what are they?

Were face-to-face courses maintained or replaced by virtual courses?

How did you experience the whole situation, either as a student or as a parent?

Thank you for your contribution!

Have a nice day,

Cheryl

Other than studying Spanish (for which there are much better locations-i.e. Guatemala), I聽 dont know of any Non-Latino聽 EXpats coming here to "study"during NORMAL times

Coming here to "study" anything at the height of the pandemic ,even though things have opened up and people (from certain countries who allow their citizens to do so) can travel here , seems like utter folly and not very logical to say聽 the least.

If Guatemala is a far better choice to study Spanish than, say, Medell铆n, I would like to know why.

Lodgings are probably cheaper in Guatemala.聽 But what else makes it a better choice?

Antigua Guatemala has long been the Latin American centre for foreigner Spanish immersion.

When I went there 16 or 17 yers ago, there were over 20 schools

My links are "under review"

Do a google search on "Intensive Spanish Courses in Antigua Guatemala" and you will see a lot of information.

Spanish schools are one of the main sources of Income there.

Also,Costa Rica is a lot more set up for Spanish Immersion studies then Colombia or even Peru.

With all due respect to our esteemed Danger Man and to the espa帽ol teachers of Guatemala, my research shows that the number of schools teaching Spanish in Colombia has increased exponentially since 2003 when D.M. was making hay in sunny Antigua.

Google:

the complete guide to Colombia's Spanish schools

and one will find many schools listed with intro paragraphs by the schools and 'institutos', courtesy of the Colombian Spanish website ....
