It's an excellent experience and I recommend living in a host family due to the better immersion and culture aspect.

CPI was an excellent school and our hometsay was a jem. I highly recommend the private lessons for someone at an intermediate language level.

Everyday was great, nothing was disappointing. The best part about CPI was that you could go to school in three locations seamlessly. I was impressed by the quality in all three locations.

Mario was an extraordinary teacher. I would be interested in returning for further study if I could be sure to have him as an instructor. I learned so much! I also appreciated the protesting for placement and the small class sizes. My husband was a beginner and I was more advanced and we both got what we needed. Our mamacita was a great cook! Keep up the good work
