Ensenada Intensive Language School

Has anyone here had any experience with the Intensive Language school in Ensenada? It sounds like a great place. They even have weekend classes, and you can stay with a Mexican family for about $27 a night! The weekend classes run about $220 for the whole weekend--that's for 12 hours of classes, total, a great deal, I thought. I am teaching a class to the kids in La Mision this summer, but my Spanish isn't up to par, so I thought this might be a great way to learn.

Cathart,
I haven't had an Ensenada experience, but I did go to an intensive school in Oaxaca for 2 weeks in 2003. I stayed with a family and went to 4 hours of class every weekday morning. The cost of room and tuition was so low that I couldn't have traveled on my own as cheaply. I had afternoons and weekends free to see the city and surrounding towns. It was a fantastic experience, and did improve my Spanish greatly. I'd love to do it again, the hard part being to decide whether to return to Oaxaca, or go someplace new!

Actually, Doug, it is the Baja California Language College in Ensenada I was asking about. What can you tell me about it?

Cathart... until Doug gets back on this, let me just add that Keith Rolle (the owner) is a GOOD guy and will treat you right...
