알파벳만 알고 갔던 콜롬비아
체계적이 꼼꼼한 맞춤식 수업을 원했고, EHE에 등록 했습니다.
최고의 선택이었죠
선생님들은 어떻게 가르치는게 저한테 옳은지 정확히 파악해주셨고 거기에 맞춰서 수업을 진행하셨습니다. 거기다 문자로 모르는걸 물어보면 친절하게 알려주시기까지...한국에선 퇴근 후 메시지오면 그렇게 싫었는데..제가 그런짓을...하곤 했죠;;게다가 콜롬비아 생활의 전반적인 부분도 신경써주셨지요
일례로 감기에 걸려 골골 거릴때 닭죽을 끓여주시고 늦은밤에도 병원이나 약국에 동행해서 도와주기까지...내 여유시간을 투자해 타인을 챙기기란 쉬운게 아닌데..참 감동을 주는 곳이었습니다.
마지막으로 귀염둥이 두 총각이 항상 미소짓게 만들어 주기까지하니 어찌 추천을 안 할 수가 있을까요?

알파벳만 알던 저를 10개월간 성장시켜 준 EHE, 감사하고 자신있게 추천드립니다!

Student at EHE Spanish School.

I’ve attended Spanish classes in several cities around Latin America over the years, but EHE ranks among the best. Professor Cristian and his team are absolutely amazing. Although I wasn’t at the school for long, I loved my classes and wished I could stay longer. During my time in Socorro I took private lessons at the school and feel like my Spanish really improved with Cristian’s teaching methods. The school is small, but the classrooms are great. Cristian also went above and beyond what his responsibilities were as a teacher - he took me on a town tour the day I arrived, invited me to join his family to partake in local festivities and explored the market with me on market day. He makes you feel very welcome. If you are looking to improve your Spanish level while staying in a charming Colombian town, then I would highly recommend EHE in Socorro.

DELE B2 Student online at EHE Spanish School.

Hola! ayer recibí el resultado de mi examen dele b2 por fín. he aprobado ya:) después de regresar a corea (estuve en España como estudiante de intercambio), tenía que juntarme con mis amigos, mi familia y tmb me quedaba poco tiempo para matricularse en algún curso. por eso decidí a estudiar por mi cuenta con las clases por skype solamente. Para mí el examen dele b2 era un reto, pero gracias a mi profesora Fanny lo he logrado. Qué emoción!!

No estoy segura que vaya a preparar el nivel C1, sin embargo puedo decir seguramente que sí voy a seguir estudiando con mi profesora Fanny.

Muchas gracias por todo, los documentos tan geniales y tmb sus ayudas. (le diré a Fanny luego, por eso es un secreto todavía).

안녕하세요! 어제 드디어 델레b2 결과를 받아봤어요! 합격했습니다ㅠㅠ 교환학생 돌아와서 적응하기도 바빴고 학원 가기에도 기간이 애매해서 고민하다가 한번 해보자 하는 마인드로 독학이랑 화상수업만으로 준비했던거였거든요. 근데 이렇게 합격을 ㅠㅜ 파니쌤의 도움이 없었다면 이루지 못했을거에요.. 그리고 전날까지 걱정했던 오랄에서 점수가 제일 높게 나와서 행복합니다ㅎㅎ 앞으로 c1을 준비할지 말지 고민중이긴 한데 설사 안한다고 해도 꾸준히 수업은 할 것 같아요.

앞으로도 잘부탁드리고 그때 자료도 제공해주셔서 큰 도움이 되었습니다!! 정말 감사했습니다 => 파니쌤에겐 비밀로 부탁드려요, 제가 오늘 수업때 따로 말씀드릴게요~!!ㅎㅎㅎ

Estoy muy agradecida, puesto que, me ayudó no solo para el examen oral, sino, también para el examen de escritura. ¡Él es súper responsable y buen profesor! El sistema de EHE está bien organizado y cuando tenía algún conflicto con el horario, la clase o cualquier problema, podía comunicarlo sin ningún problema. ¡Muchísimas gracias a todos!

ANNA CALDWELL - USA

Student at EHE Spanish School.

I got to work on my Spanish with profesor Cristian and his team for 4 weeks. We usually did 3 hours a day which was perfect and each hour had a different teacher so I didn’t get a chance to lose concentration. It’s a very family feel school as you will get to meet Christian’s wife from south Korea and his adorable kids on day trips that he organizes in the beautiful towns of the Santander region. But what really sets apart this school compared to others is the location in the town of Socorro. It’s a much smaller town than San gil or the gigantic and somewhat overwhelming Bogota and Medellin. It’s so charming and you get to have a much more relaxed lifestyle in Socorro where you can walk everywhere, visit the fresh fruit market everyday, and really get to immerse yourself in Colombian culture and Spanish language because there are barely any foreigners there so no one speaks much English. If you really want to learn, there s no better place!

CHRISTIAN WILLIAMS-USA

Student at EHE Spanish School.

When I was researching a place to learn Spanish in South America, there were many options and it was a little overwhelming. A friend had recommended that I learn in Socorro because I would be forced to speak more Spanish and learn faster as English was not commonly spoken in the town. I found Profesor Cristian and the EHE spanish school from there. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with the school. The teachers were amazing in the classroom and sent me home with material each day so that I would progress faster and learn good speaking habits at the same time. Cristian also is phenomenal at taking all the students out into town or in the countryside. You will learn a lot about the region and develop intimate relationships with this family and with the other students if you choose. By the end of my 1 month there I was already wishing I had planned more time in Socorro to progress my spanish and relationships. I believe this is one of the best values out there for learning Spanish.

나에게 EHE는 인생의 동반자다. 무작정 남미로의 여행을 생각했다. 하지만 여러 사람의 권유로 학원을 등록하기로 결심했다. 그리고 콜롬비아에 도착, 음식의 가격을 영어로 물었다. 영어가 통하지 않아 계산하는데 고초를 겪은 후 소꼬로로 향하여 EHE에 처음 발을 디뎠다. 과연 내가 스페인어를 배울수 있을까 하는 걱정에 앞이 막막했다. 그리고 도착 첫날밤 광장에 나와 많은 사람들을 만났다. 하지만 말이 통하지 않아 멋쩍은 웃음만 지으며 함께 할 수 밖에 없었다. 수업을 들은지 일주일 후 시장에서 가격을 물어볼수 있게 되었다. 그리고 1달이 지나자 동네사람들과의 인사 및 기본대화는 편하게 할 수 있었다. 만약 내가 무작정 남미로의 여행을 시작했다면 불가능한 일들이었다. 프리토킹 시간중의 토론 주제는 자유분방하며 1대 1로 이루어 지기 때문에 시장을 다녀오던 다른 장소를 다녀온 후 궁금한 점과 그 문화에 대한 정보들을 과외식으로 배울수 있었으며 공부를 하다 모르는 궁금한 점을 방과후에도 물어볼 수 있어서 좋았다. 체험학습 또한 빠질수 없었다. 체험학습 중에 현지인 친구들을 많이 사귀게 되었고 또한 남미의 문화에 대해 많은걸 알게 되었다. 학원을 마치고 대학에 입학 후 또 한번 남미를 여행했다. 현지인과의 회화가 더 이상 무섭지 않았다. 이 글을 읽는 당신이 만약 여행자라면, 남미 스페인어에 관심이 있는 사람이라면 EHE를 추천하겠다. 한번도 가보지 않은 사람은 있어도 한번 가본 사람은 없다는 콜롬비아, 그 안에서 스페인어를 배운다는 것은 당신에게 있어서도 큰 행운이 아닐까 생각해본다. EHE 적극 추천합니다!

MARTIN CARAZO - GERMANY

Student at EHE Spanish School.

The perfect place for everyone who wants to learn Spanish - and get to know Colombian culture!

My name is Martin, I am from Germany, and I spent three weeks in El Socorro in June 2017, learning Spanish in an intensive course at EHE Spanish School. I was able to improve my Spanish very fast - a progress which has been confirmed by my Colombian wife and her family, with whom I can eventually speak without looking up words in the dictionary all the time... The teachers are highly motivated, adapt to personal needs, and - what is more - the school creates a family like atmosphere. El Socorro might not (yet) be featured by many tourist guide books, but it is a place worth discovering. It's only 6 hours away from bustling Bogotá by bus (which is not far, by Colombian standards), and even closer from Bucaramanga, the capital of beautiful Santander (ca. 3 hours bus ride). El Socorro was the starting point of the Colombian struggle for independence. Tourism is not yet as developed as in nearby San Gil. But Cristian, the director of the EHE Spanish School, is happy to show you around and explain everything you need to know about the town, it's history and culture. Santander is less known for it's coffee, but this is about to change, as the climate of the region favours organic production, which is also becoming more importat in Colombia. Only a 30 minute walk away from the busy centre of El Socorro, you can find plantations of sugar cane and coffee. The surrounding area offers a wide range of attractions, wheter it be the old colonial town of Barichara or the spectacular Chicamocha canyon. For everyone into rafting, paragliding etc., there's San Gil, only 20 minutes away by bus. And then there are the countless wild rivers and streams in lovely small towns such as Curití or Simacota. For everyone concerned about security: El Socorro is the safest place I've been to in Colombia in 10 years. You can stroll around safely, and much easier than in big cities such as Bogotá. People are friendly and happy to help (as in most parts of Colombia). And the EHE team is always there if you need anything. So for me, it's an absolute 'thumbs up'!

I took a an advanced course of 4 months in this school and it was definitely a amazing place to improve Spanish for the below reasons:
1. The school is located in Socorro which is a small village but so it is very safe and the local people so nice , so friendly in compared with the big cities.
2.the teachers in the school all are willing to help you at anytime.you can go to school for the class in the morning and spend your time there to have a talk with the director of the school, receptionist who always there to help you.
3.The school is small but has very things, bookshelf, self studying room with strong wifi, free tea and coffee at anytime.
4. The variety of out door activities organized by the school that help you invole in other activities and events organized by the local universities as the director of this school is also the profesor in the university.
5. The traditional dishes in Santander are highly recommended as they were so delicious.
6.If you are natural lover and adventurer , that place is definitely recommended to you. The landscape of this village is so beautiful. I walked up every day there with mountain layers , this place is very peaceful and tranquil but it is not boring with a lot of cultural activities in this village and surrounding villages.

Go there to improve your Spanish, explore yourself, making new friends and falling love with the nature diversity of Colombia.

남미여행을 100일 계획하고 콜롬비아 메데인으로 인 한 여행자 Loopy입니다. 관광지는 잘 몰라도 스페인어를 조금이라도 배우고 여행을 하면 여행의 질이 달라진다고 그래서 사전에 관광지는 안찾아도 학원을 여기저기 알아봤었습니다. 하지만 메데인이나 보고타는 너무 비싸 ㅠㅠ 그래서 선택한곳 이곳 소코로! 작은 마을이지만 콜롬비아를 한바퀴 돌기에는 문제 없을것 같아. 메데인-보고타를 거쳐 3번째 도시로 방문 했습니다. 무엇보다 착한가격!!! 2주 여행자 스페인어를 배우기에는 최적화된 시스템! 저는 크리스티안 선생님과 함께 했는데 너무 잘 가르쳐주시고 질문도 수업도 이해가 될때까지 최고의 선생님이 되주셨습니다. 그리고 작은 시골마을이라고 걱정했는데 산힐과 버스로 20분 거리여서 만약에 수업이 일찍 끝난다면 오후에 액티비티를 즐기러 갈 수도 있고 그게 아니여도 주말에 2일동안의 시간만으로도 충분하게 즐길 수 있었습니다. 저같은경우는 콜롬비아에서 최고의 아름다운 도시로 뽑혔다는 바리차라? 마을방문과 산힐에서 패러글라이딩과 번지점프를 했습니다. 산힐을 가실분들이라면! 잠깐동안이라도 스페인어도 배워보고 좋은가격에 과일쥬스도 매일 먹어보고 현지인 체험해보는것도 좋을것 같습니다.

It was really great time to learn Spanish in EHEspanish, Socorro. Before going to Soccoro, I was a little bit afraid of security and confidence which I can really learn Spanish well. However, it was just waste of time! It was so fun, and I really enjoyed learning Spanish there. EHE provides the specialized-private lesson to each student and student can learn Spanish with their pace and can actually learn what they want to learn by talking with their professors such as DELE, conversation etc. In addition, unlike to the big cities where the security is unstable, Socorro provides a perfect safe environment. I had never been in bad situation such as robbery, violence etc. I should rather say that people of Socorro are really kind and I was really surprised by their kindness when I first arrived there. Moreover, Soccoro is a place which has a long history and famous place for the coffee production. I was able to experience a lot of events and also I was able to do a lot of extreme sports at Sangil (next to Soccoro) at really cheap place. Therefore, I can definitely say that EHE and Soccoro gave me a great and fun chance to learn Spanish there and I really appreciate with it.

I studied Spanish at EHE for 4 months. It’s a small, professional and friendly school. The class sizes are smaller than other places so the teachers are really interested in helping you progress. Socorro is a very pretty town, it’s safe and very easy to get around – it’s much cheaper to live / visit here too!

스페인어 공부를 위한 최적의 학원

17년 2월부터 학원에서 배우기 시작해서 처음에는 3개월만 있으려 했던 것이 비자 연장까지 해가며 6개월로 늘었고 지금은 학생비자까지 받아서 11월 델레 시험까지 이 학원에서 공부할 계획이네요.
3개월만 있으려했던 저를 6개월이나 더 머물게 할만큼 학원의 수업 프로그램들과 선생님들은 정말 훌륭하고 가끔씩 학원생들끼리 함께 하는 문화체험은 콜롬비아를 더 느낄 수 있게 합니다.
누군가 남미로의 어학연수를 생각한다면 꼭 EHE에서 공부하시길 추천드립니다.

One day, as I jogging in the morning, I saw a Spanish School in Socorro (Escuela Hablamos Español-EHE Spanish school). I did not hesitate to knock at the door to inquire. I was given both indescribable and indefinable welcome, which triggered my desire to start learning Spanish the following day. It is not fun to assert from the truth that, within a month the level of my Spanish language suddenly improved, I attributed that sudden progress to the qualified teachers, who are masters of Spanish Language content in all the four examinable language skills.

JINJU LEE - KOREA

Student at EHE Spanish School.

I recently studied Spanish there for 10 days(One o one class) and I loved it! The teachers are very professional and responsible! (If you ever studied Spanish in South America, you might know there are quite many irresponsible and unpunctual teachers…) Most of all, they observe students during the class and prepare proper material the next class so that the student can improve their weaknesses!! Also the principal of the academy(and all of his lovely family members too!) is so accommodating and helpful! They provided us free cooking class and showed around nearby towns. Oh, and I really liked the private coffee farm tour as well!! Well.. it sounds so good to be true, huh? So.. if I have to tell you one disadvantage of this place.. it is def not a place to party. It is a lovely small town but there aren’t many things to do… So if you are a person who wants to study and party at the same time, it may not be the best option. Though if you are serious about learning Spanish, I highly reccommend this Spanish school!! * If you wanna learn salsa or any other dances, you can easily find a tutor. The school will help you find a good tutor! I took a salsa class while I was there and it was really fun and it didn’t even cost that much! 😉

MIN SUN - CHINE

I stayed in EHE Spanish School for 4 months learning Spanish from an official program called ELE FOCALAE that is supported by the Colombian government, with 2 other students. Well before I come here I studied more or less one year but I can barely talk. However after 4 months here thanks to the school now I can speak without any problem. For sure you can improve a lot in your Spanish here. Besides Socorro is a very quiet and peaceful town, with a living cost much lower than the major cities. We had a lot of fun living there besides studying. I enjoyed a lot of the activities organized by the school, (to the coffee farm, to Mesa de Los Santos,) that helped us a lot getting to know the local culture.  I enjoyed a lot of my learning experience in EHE Spanish school and el Socorro. To me, it was unforgettable and unique experience in Colombia! I learnt a lot in Spanish language, the culture and made a lot of friends there~ To whoever that wants to learn Spanish in a more efficient and enjoyable way and live the local life there, I would highly recommend this place. In conclusion, all 5 star and recommended for anyone who is looking to study Spanish in Colombia.

EHE Spanish school puts a big effort into ensuring that we’re enjoying our time here too. We have had dance classes, cooking classes and even participated in “amigo secreto” which is a way we Colombians celebrate friendship in the month of September.

Socorro is a great destination to learn Spanish because it is so safe and there are a lot of activities. You never know what to expect here!

The best place to learn Spanish in Colombia with a wonderful family

I would recommend everyone to go to Socorro and take Spanish lessons for a couple of weeks at the EHE Spanisch School! From the 6 months that I stayed in Colombia, the three weeks at the school was one of my best experiences. I learned a lot in a very short period, but especially the warmth of the family made me feel like home. And that's something I really appreciated so far from my real home. Because of Cristian and Seong Jeong l got to learn more about Colombian life in a village, they took me to the feria in a nearby village and almost every night we would sit outside on the doorstep drinking a cold beer as the sun went down. I honestly think that there isn't a better place to learn Spanish in Colombia.

Es un placer de contar mi experiencia en EHE. Fue en el 2013 cuando empezé a estudiar en esta escuela donde pude mejorar mi español con mucho encanto,relacionandome con la gente de diferentes culturas y con los otros compatriotas, por lo que no tenía tanta nostalgía de Corea y podía aprender una cultura totalmente novedosa para mí. Al contar de EHE siempre quiero decir una cosa nada mas, ni siquiera decir que el español de Colombia es el mejor del mundo(Desde mi gusto personal, quisiera decir que el español argentino es siempre el mejor para mí) sin embargo tengo que decir Colombia puede ser el mejor lugar para empezar tu gran viaje para dominar el idioma español. Ya te explico el porque, en primer lugar los colombianos son las personas muy amables y siempre estan dispuestas a ayudar a los extranjeros, dandoles muchas atenciones con la una mente bastante abierta(en este caso, Socorro, EHE es un lugar donde se encuentra mas de eso). En Segundo lugar, Si vos sos un coreano, estar con una familia coreana mientras estudias, sobre todo me refiero a la familia del profesor Cristian Contreras y Señora Seon jung Lee, te vaser de gran ayuda en todo en cuanto a la seguridad y las cosas que te van a hacer falta, son bastante trabajadores y amables. Sobre los demas, no hace mucha falta mencionar, porque tiene que ser EHE para empezar o mejorar tu español. Vení aquí y vas a probar un español bien colombiano con muchos amigos alegres como el café Colombiano.
