Se Habla in La Paz

Janetk9lover - 5-20-2009 at 03:19 PM

I heard that the language school in La Paz, Se Habla, has been up for sale for some time and that the two main directors are no longer with it. I attended a few years ago and would like to return this winter. When I look at the web site, everything appears status quo. Does anyone know anything about the status of classes etc.? Thanks.

I went to the school also. I made a brief visit there last year in May and the original lady was still running it. We chatted a bit and everything appeared fine.
I've sent them emails and they have always responded so maybe you can asked them.

Thanks everyone. I did e-mail them a few days ago and haven't heard back. I'm sure they're just busy and will get back with me soon. I just think that it's such a great school and you can't beat La Paz. Therefore, it would certainly be my first choice this winter with regards to studying.

give us a review when you finish up the immersion I've been considering using their service as well.

Julie and Antonio e-mailed me an ad to sell the school a few months ago for 500,000 U.S. Antonio is moving back to Guadalajara and Julie is retiring if and when the school sells. The residence is not for sale as far as i can tell they are just selling the business but said they will help with any transition to the new owners. I am sure that it has not sold and everything is probably going just as before. I could not find my e-mail from them so could not attach the For Sale Notice.

FlyfishinPam,
I attended their school a few years ago and was really impressed. I lived with Antoņio, one of the instructors, and had an amazing experience. I had attended a language school in Equador prior to that but did not have nearly the positive experience that I had in La Paz....both with the school as well as the city. I feel that immersion is the best way to go and am feeling a need for another experience and Se Habla is on the top of my list.
