Why study Spanish in Santiago? Santiago (population over 6 million) is the largest city in Chile, making it a central hub for a wide range of outdoor sports and activities. As Chile’s capital, it’s a great place to begin your travels and gain an understanding of the country’s culture. Plus, other parts of the region, such as Pomaire and Los Andes, are easily accessible for further exploration.


With snowcapped mountains serving as the backdrop, Santiago is visually stunning. The downtown area is a unique mix of new and old, providing a distinctive contrast of classic architecture and soaring skyscrapers.


Ecela Santiago is located in Providencia, one of the best and safest neighborhoods in all of Santiago. It’s an ideal location for studying Spanish and it’s adjacent to many restaurants, bars, cafes, attractive parks, museums, cinemas and shops.

Prime Location. The school sits peacefully in a quiet residential street in Providencia, which is conveniently located near local cafes, restaurants and many other important downtown sites.

The students you meet seem to come from every corner of the world, some I’ve never even heard of before!

This is my 3rd week here and I have made good friends and gone places that under normal circumstances would not have been able to. I would recommend this for anyone looking to live in Santiago and experience a slice of life in Chile.

The teachers at the school are helpful and very easy to talk to. My Spanish has improved with every day I have attended classes. The activities and location of the school provides good opportunities for exploring the city of Santiago.

The things I have learned in Chile will outlast the time I have spent here. The students you meet seem to come from every corner of the world, some I’ve never even heard of before! I am glad that I have participated in this program and know that I am a better person for doing so.

I learned more Spanish that I would in a year in Amsterdam.

Dear ECELA people: Thanks for everything! I had a fantastic time during the four weeks I spent at ECELA Spanish School in Santiago, Chile. I learned more Spanish that I would in a year in Amsterdam. It was the best vacation of my life, and I loved sharing this experience with so many special people.

Paz (Paz Gatica, the school’s Activities Coordinator): ¡vamos chicos!…Gracias y besos.

For me, staying with a family was the best and fastest way to learn Spanish.

My homestay in Santiago was really great. I stayed with a nice family; dad, mom and 2 kids, who made me feel like a part of the family. They really made sure that I had a great time in Santiago and that I never felt alone. They helped me find my way in the city and the dad even did a ´practice´ walk to school with me the night before my first day!

For me, staying with a family was the best and fastest way to learn Spanish. Everyday you wake up with Spanish (my hostmom got me breakfast in bed everyday!) and if you came home after school there is always somebody to practice with. My family was always patient and helped me when i was struggling with spanish. Without this family, my experience in Santiago would have been good, but not so great as it has been!

The goal of our methodology is to make people comfortable using their new language in practical situations encountered in everyday life, such as travel, conducting business, meeting people, using the telephone, meetings, participating in a conversation effectively, etc.


Students take both written and oral evaluations when they start their program to determine their level, and throughout the program the teachers at our school are constantly evaluating students’ progress.


As proof of our students’ efforts they will also receive a certificate at the end of the course. This states the language they studied, their level, and its location (along with any other information the student deems applicable).


Escuela Bellavista bases its language levels on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (A1, A2, B1….)


Our aim is that you and the teachers speak only in Spanish in class, so we try not to use other languages in the classroom and this stimulates the student to start thinking in Spanish. Students are always surprised at how easily they learn!

Our methodology focuses on speaking and listening. Grammar, reading, and writing are all included, but we teach it through a very practical approach without being tedious, boring, or repetitive. We believe the key to learning a new language is communication.

Our school has a lot to offer our studentsTAKE A TOUR


Studying Spanish at Escuela Bellevista has been a wonderful experience. My husband and I took classes for one month and our Spanish grew so much. We loved our teachers Lidia and Sergio! We also made friends from all over the world. Every week there are several activities to participate in. I loved Lidia's free weekly walking tour in Santiago's different neighborhoods. We also had a fantastic time going to Pomaire and Isla Negra with the lovely and charismatic Astrid. Muchas gracias Escuela Bellavista!! Jamie Alison, USA


He two months of intensive Spanish courses I took here left me practically speaking like a native. Teachers are top-notch and very nice, there is always a tea time between classes, great way to make new friends from around the world, and it's in a great neighborhood. If you're looking for a private teacher I highly recommend Maria Christina Herrera!


The staff is friendly and is concerned about all the details. I was forced to speak Spanish all the time. They focus in grammar, pronunciation and speaking, so if you want to get fluency in Spanish, you should give yourself an opportunity to study with them.


Fantastic school and great value. Lots more than just classes. A great place to make new friends, learn, explore, party and laugh. Will definitely go back!

Escuela de Idiomas en Santiago de Chile, specialized in Spanish courses since over 25 years, great learning atmosphere,

I've taken several languages courses over the past years (not for Spanish language) but this school has been my favorite by far. The school is very well organized - the staff was always extremely fast answering any questions I had before my arrival and very helpful at any time during my stay as well. I've also booked an accommodation through the school and was very happy with my choice. The teachers are extremely good and make sure you understand things properly. Lots of free activities - for example movie night, salsa class and a language exchange each Friday. Also, weekend trips (with an extra cost) if you don't want to organize a trip yourself. I do highly recommend this school for anyone wanting to learn Spanish.

I spent 2,5 weeks at Tandem Santiago. Teachers are really good, classes are small with people from all over the world, the school organisation is perfect. Students can take part in many activities after the lessons. Thank you for a great time at your school! I hope to come back one day.

We spent a week taking Spanish lessons at Tandem in Santiago. We were here from December 9th until friday 13th 2019. We of course knew that there were some problems in Santiago due to social unrest, but the classes just go on as usual and we didn't encounter any problem. We can easily say we felt very safe. We had a great time and would recommend it to everybody who wants to learn a bit (or a lot more) Spanish! It was nice to experience that there were not only young people at the school, but also some seniors ... They have a great atmosphere, nice activities and good teachers. It was also very nice to stay at a homestay a few blocks away. The neighbourhood of Tandem is a safe area and has some nice little restaurants. Greetings from the Netherlands!

Spanish courses, official DELE examination center, high custumer satisfaction, many social activities after the courses and weekend excursions to the touristical highlights, lodging of all kind,

4worldlovers: All face to face or online Spanish Courses offered at our Spanish school in Santiago at a glance

We offer four types of Spanish courses which can be taken in face to face or through videoconference mode

Spanish Group Courses: starting every monday with max. 8 students per level (media 4) morning and afternoon schedule

Spanish classes One on One: Private Spanish instruction generally in the afternoon schedule

Special Spanish Course Modules: can be taken standing alone as 2 on 1 or 1 on 1 tuition or combined with a group course.

We are prepared to include online students in our face to face Spanish group courses using videoconference platforms as Zoom, Google meet or Skype. This mode is called hybrid class and has shown to be a very effective way to assure that the course will be continued even in case that authorities may restrict the possibility of doing face to face classes. In this case the course turns to be online for all participants.

Our Spanish courses differ from those of other language schools in Santiago in terms of progression and, related to this, the short duration.

We work with 8 different levels. Each level has 1 week of duration, which means, that we pass the fundamental Spanish grammar in only 8 weeks, whereas other schools take 3 month for the same offering only a three level structure! This is your fast track to the Spanish language.

Our Spanish group instruction is divided into eight levels, each level of 1 week duration. This very narrow grid guarantees those students who have previous knowledge a good level placement, which again means few time sitting and repeating known contents.

Before starting your Spanish course we will ask you to fill in our placement test, which helps us to find the right level for you. It is very important for us that we get this test back at least 5 days before your course begins.

There are three intensities to choose from: 20- 30- 35 lessons per Week. What is the difference?
