La Calle Spanish School

La Calle teaches Spanish to adults in a colonial house in the historic centre of Mérida. Lessons emphasise speaking from the outset, so the classroom experience suits someone who wants practice putting words together in a conversation. Students aged eighteen and over can choose face-to-face group or private tuition at the Calle 55 school.

Three group timetables

The intensive group course provides twenty hours of classes each week. A ten-hour semi-intensive option leaves more of the week free. A third group meets on two days for a total of four hours, giving people living in Mérida a way to work on their Spanish with a lighter timetable. Each format focuses on using the language aloud. Individual lessons can follow the student's priorities, whether the goal is clearer pronunciation, practice with a recurring grammatical difficulty or more confidence speaking. Friends, colleagues or family members can also arrange their own private group.

Finding La Calle

The school is at number 480 on Calle 55, between Calle 56 and Calle 58 in the Centro neighbourhood. Those cross streets are useful for navigating Mérida’s numbered grid. The campus has a cafeteria, and the school also offers homestays for students who want to keep using Spanish beyond the teaching day.
