Combining several of the strongest Language Acquisition Theories, such as Learning by Doing, from John Dewey, Constructivism by Lev Vygotsky, and Structured Input/output by Lee Van Patten, we have created a set of techniques and tactics that will address each student´s learning style and will help you overcome the different challenges you might face through your learning process. We understand that every learner is different, due to their life background; therefore, we take into consideration the findings by Stephen Krashen, which address intellectual and emotional drawbacks experienced by learners throughout their language acquisition process. A team of language professionals will assess your current level of skill, ability and style of learning and will help you reach your communication goals in a short time, giving you a great sense of achievement.

We make sure your learning is effective and fun. Feel comfortable and at ease here at L&C Spanish School; become conversational through learning games and activities, rather than just from a book. Feel free to make mistakes and ask questions, this is a natural part of the process and it is completely acceptable to do so.

Cultural Approach

It's not just about the language, it's also about the place and the people.

Cultural conditions and social rules (rules of politeness, the way of addressing others which differs according to generations, sex, classes and social groups), sociolinguistic rules affect communication in all languages ​​between representatives of different cultures even if the learners are not necessarily aware of it.

 

Other cultural knowledge concerning to day-to-day living (organization of the day, mealtimes, means of transport, communication and information), is essential for the management of language skills in a foreign language.

 

As well as knowledge of the shared values and beliefs held by social groups in other countries and regions, such as religious beliefs, taboos, assumed common history are essential to intercultural communication. These multiple areas of knowledge vary from individual to individual. They may be culture-specific, but nevertheless are interwoven into all our courses here at L&C Spanish School. Learn from our teachers and tutors both the language as such and the cultural traits needed to successfully navigate the Spanish-speaking world.

I've visited CDMX twice this past year and both times I attended classes at Lengua y Cultura. The professors are... welcoming, encouraging, and resourceful with lots of recommendations of the best things to see in Mexico City that you won't find in a guidebook. The classes have a relaxed and fun atmosphere and at the same time they are packed with information. I promise your Spanish will improve by leaps and bounds by the end of the week. My last visit I took private lessons with Guillermo and it helped me immensely. He really built his lesson plans around where I was at and helped fill in the many huequitos in my grammar. Believe me, if you are in CDMX and want to improve your Spanish this is the place to go!read more

I visited L&C Spanish school in CDMX for a few days to take a crash course in Spanish. I booked the classes - last... minute - the night before and everything worked out perfectly: The next day I was welcomed by the very kind receptionista and my Spanish level was evaluated within a few minutes. I was assigned to a small group of students, which was perfect to have plenty of interaction with the teacher. The lectures were organized very well: It consisted of Speaking, Understanding and Writing parts (and Homework tambien). I liked that there was a lot of speaking exercise and interaction with the teacher and students, which guarantees a fast progress in daily life speaking! Especially, I appreciated that the teacher understood how to motivate students and to create a good learning atmosphere. I strongly recommend Lengua y Cultura and all the surrounding administrative etc. parts of it!read more

Learning a new language isn’t always easy and it really helped knowing I had partners at the school who created an environment that really helped us all learn. Class sizes aren’t that big, and they also have a great private tutoring program and remote lessons (after you’re done). Check them out if you need to learn Español.read more

Completely disappointed in the way this business is run! Boyfriend and I recently moved to CDMX and needed to learn... Spanish since we work and live here. After speaking with Marco Tellez (director of Lengua y Cultura), we came to the conclusion that private Spanish lessons would be the best option/program for us. The price was expensive, but that was expected since we wanted flexibility in scheduling in case of work, travel, etc. Before signing up, Marco promised us great things from Lengua y Cultura; things that competing businesses did not offer/weren't able to. First and foremost, he promised us quality teachers who are qualified to teach the language at an institutional level. Second, the teacher would speak fluent English and Spanish. And lastly, the teacher would have his/her own concrete lesson plan to supplement the books.That was on point with what we wanted/expected, so we signed up to start. The first teacher assigned to us failed to meet all three criterias that Marco had promised. He introduced himself to us as a tutor, was not able to understand our questions whenever we asked, and had no lesson planned for the four days that we had him. Our lessons were comprised of reading and listening to materials straight from the book, using our phones to translate whenever we didn't understand something, and searching for a YouTube video on something irrelevant to anything we were learning. We wanted to give this 'teacher' a full week before jumping to conclusion, but just couldn't so we contacted Marco to explain how the lessons were going. He appeared shocked saying that the teacher "seemed capable of speaking English" when they had talked and "does have a lesson plan". At this point, we also disclosed that we don't want to waste anyone's time, and that we can just consider it a lost for that first week and go elsewhere, but he kept reassuring that the new teacher will work out. After much back and forth, Marco said he would send us a new teacher and that they would be up to par with what we all agreed on. Fast forward to next week, we meet the new teacher, and first lesson goes well for that Monday (1/22). She could speak English (though not fluently) and Spanish, was able to answer our questions, and had supplemental materials in additional to the book. Three days later, we get a message from her on the morning of (1/25), saying that our class for the day is cancelled. So we thought, sure, not a big deal, maybe just a one time thing and wouldn't happen often. Next morning (1/26), another cancellation and then it was the weekend so we just thought we would pick it up again on Monday. Monday (1/29) came and another cancellation. See the frustration? Lessons were on and off for the next week and a half, and in between all this, the teacher texted saying that she would reach out to Marco to see if someone could substitute. We thought this was in the works, but when we reached out to Marco to once again reassess this whole private lessons, he had no idea. He said he was unaware, but that he would try to find us a third teacher. My question here is...if you are the director of this business, how are you unaware of what your teachers/staff are doing (i.e. do you even check in on them? would you even know if they came to teach or not? why should the clients/students have to keep tabs on the teachers?). We paid a premium so that we would get quality service and teachers who would do their job, but it seems like we have to micromanage this whole thing. Anyways, we told Marco we were pretty much done with the program since it was clearly not working out and to please refund us minus the cost for the books/materials. In total, we've paid for 60 hours, but only had 12 hours of concrete lessons. I do not recommend this place at all, especially if you are looking for high quality, private Spanish lessons and teachers. If anything, it only adds to more frustration and disappointment. Teacher's attendance: 1/22- 9am-11am 1/23- 9am-11am (late) 1/24- 9am-11am 1/25- teacher cancelled 1/26- teacher cancelled 1/27- weekend 1/28- weekend 1/29- teacher cancelled 1/30- 9am-11am 1/31- work travel 2/01- 9am-11am 2/02- 9am-11am 2/03- weekend 2/04- weekend 2/05- holiday 2/06- teacher cancelled, told her we need to discuss tomorrow re schedule 2/07- teacher cancelled, discussed with Marco re ending programread more

I'm currently taking a Pre Intermediate course at Lengua y Cultura. I have enjoyed the lessons and especially with... Edgar who has proved to be not only patient but well prepared. This has been very motivating for Spanish learning. The school also has great hours for people who have FULL TIME PROFESSIONAL JOBS in the city which I think may account for a large percentage of the immigrant population who yes, are in Mexico City because they are highly qualified in their field. This is in capitals because I've been looking for a Saturday class for years as it is challenging for me to study during the week as I am one of those people. I initially started on an evening course and Lengua y Cultura have been very flexible at helping me transfer to a Saturday course.read more

The best part was that... throughout that period the school and its teachers were flexible to the needs our my classmates and me.

Lengua y cultura is a great language school. I have been taking both group and private classes and I highly recommend... both. The teachers are great and will adjust the classes to your needs. I started taking group classes on a daily basis when I first arrived in Mexico City to prepare for an internship at a Mexican organization. Two weeks later I had made huge progress, which really helped when I started working. I continued taking private classes on a weekly basis, and it has been a great way of improving my grammar and language knowledge as a complement to my daily conversational Spanish.read more
