Studying Spanish at CELA is a very homy and unique experience that I won´t forget. I fell in love with the school and especially the professional teachers. Sabine, the owner of the school has a PhD in linguistics and knows how to teach Spanish in a fun, effective and easy understandable way. I am a well traveled flight attendant, very aware of the current political as well as economical situation in Venezuela and I can assure that I didn´t feel significant differences concerning my safety in comparison to other South American countries. The situation here is far away from how it is portrayed in the media. The school staff helped me to find convenient flights from Caracas and had an open ear to any concern I had. Sabine took her precious time and showed me around the island, she even prepaired yummy lunches every day in the school owned kitchen. Thank you so much for that! Special thanks as well to Nati, my current teacher. She explained me a lot about Venezuelan culture and the current situation that is a way more complex then "dangerous, don´t go there". Nati gave me lots of helpful tips about things to do and nightlife on the island. I am attending classes at CELA for the past 3 years now and I will continue to come back! Muchas gracias. Lukas
