I've taken vacation-type language classes with quite a few schools in different countries, and the two-week immersion program with AKO is by far my best experience. From day 1, when Prof. Alex and his wife took me to a family gathering, I started to speak Spanish in a real way (despite being only at B1 level). Besides providing excellent and personalized classes, they also helped me in so many other ways as I stayed at their house and went out with them to various places. They were truly interested in getting to know me and in “immersing” me in the local culture. Just let them know of your wishes and keep an eye on the logistic side of things, and you’ll have a blast!

I attended the Spanish school for the month that I was in Playa Del Carmen. My professor, Alex was amazing! He helped me so much! He was very patient as I am a very slow learner.

Excelentes clases para aprender con Emma 💯

Lovely family run school that caters to your needs and different levels of Spanish from beginner to advanced. They were great with my kids (14 and 18). They also invited us for a dinner/ cooking class as part of their package and we had a great time! It was nice to have an authentic sit down meal with the family. Awesome. Thank you all so much!

I took classes with Emmanuel in Mexico and he helped me so much with my Spanish. He’s an amazing teacher. He’s very patient and meets you at whatever level you’re at. He makes every class fun and engaging. I highly recommend him.

I really recommend the AKO Language School! Emmi is a great Spanish teacher - I learned a lot and had a good time :))

Alex was great and pitched the lessons at just the right level for us, with a good mix of grammar, vocab, written, oral etc

Hier Spanisch Unterricht zu nehmen war die beste Entscheidung. In nur ein paar Wochen habe ich mehr Fortschritte gemacht als in der Schulzeit und hatte deutlich mehr Spaß dabei. Mein Lehrer war super lieb, kompetent und geduldig. Wer hätte gedacht, dass Lernen so viel Freude bringen kann 🤩

I had an incredible experience at AKO Language school in Playa del Carmen. Thaaank you so much Emmanuel! I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn in a fun, flexible, and inspiring way. The program is very well structured but never feels rigid – it’s perfectly adapted to your level, goals, and interests. One thing I loved most was the flexibility: lessons don’t have to take place in a traditional classroom. You can have classes in cafés, which makes learning feel very natural and relaxed, and helps you practice the language in real-life situations. It honestly makes a huge difference. The teachers are absolutely fantastic. They explain everything clearly, create a comfortable learning atmosphere, and make you feel confident speaking from day one. On top of that, the school gives great local recommendations, including amazing food spots and also really nice local places. You really feel supported not just as a student, but as a visitor in the city. If you want, they also help you to plan your journey and they have the best recommendations. Most importantly, every single dollar spent is absolutely worth it. The quality of teaching, the personal attention, and the overall experience make this school an outstanding investment in yourself. If you’re looking for a high-quality language school with excellent teachers, a great program, and a unique learning experience in Playa del Carmen, this is the place to go! Really thanks for everything! It was such a nice time! Muy chido. Hope to see you soon 🙂

Ich kann diese Sprachschule wirklich allen ans Herz legen! Ich hatte einen tollen Lernplan und es hat richtig Spaß gemacht mit Emmanuel Spanisch zu lernen ! Ich konnte schon ein bisschen Spanisch aus der Schule, hatte aber einiges vergessen, Emmanuel hat gut eingeschätzt auf welchem Niveau ich mich befinde und den Unterricht auch toll an meine Interessen angepasst. Das hats richtig gebracht ! Außerdem kennt er den Ort wie seine Westentasche und hat tolle Empfehlungen zum ausgehen und erkunden! Ganz liebe Grüße und gracias otra vez ! Nos vemos 🙂 Leonie
