Learn Spanish and experience the best of Peru.
Espaanglisch Language School is also a
So what makes this Spanish school so great?
First of all, the class size. Usually classes are taught on a one to one basis. 
For a discount you can take group classes (max of 3 people) but we believe it works best one on one so we can teach at exactly your level.
Second, the professors. All the teachers share a passion and love for the Spanish language and wish for nothing more than to pass this passion on to you.
Third, our manner of teaching. Each teacher tailors the classes to the student. Some students may wish to improve thier conversation skills, other to focus mainly on grammar. We are happy to accomodate your needs, level and manner of learning.
Fourth, teaching materials. All teaching materials have been written by the manager of Espaanglisch, David Mercedes. David has many years of experience teaching Spanish to tourists and volunteers and from this he has developed his own method of teaching, teaching materials and exercises that all professors use.
Lessons are given in Trujillo and Huanchaco by manager David Mercedes as well as local teachers Carla, Noe and Lurdes. For further information email us at davidmercedes@espaanglisch.com

Rachael:
I had classes with David almost everyday for 2 months and then on and off after that for 2 more months. I can't believe how much Spanish I was able to learn. I started off the class with not knowing what David said when he asked me what country I was from and ended at a Intermediate Level. I am conversant in Spanish. Of course I hoped that I could become fluent, but by understanding languages a little better now (I don't believe you can fully understand even your own language until you learn another), I realize that becoming fluent is something that takes time, because of the quantity of words and phrases within a language. But certainly I am conversant, I am conjugating properly and faster by the day, and listening to Spanish movies with Spanish Subtitles. I hope to be able to get a job using Spanish in the future. I loved David's classroom techniques. He moves very fast if you want him too; he doesn't just sit there and help you memorize vocabulary like a flashcard could do. He's very present and pushing you to ask in Spanish, respond in Spanish and eventually you will think in Spanish. I also appreciated the way he begins the classes and slowly works through more types of conjugation. I feel like for the amount of time I had, we got through the most important things and now I just need more vocabulary.
Brian:
"David is a great Spanish teacher. He picked up on my learning style right away and made every lesson push me to speak better. At the start, I had never taken any Spanish at all. I took lessons from David for 4 months and now speak comfortably at an intermediate level. I highly recommend his program and him as a teacher. Aprovecha!".

Arriving in Huanchaco with barely a Spanish sentence under my belt, I was desperately in need of Spanish lessons. I wanted to learn how to speak, and fast! So I listened to my friends' recommendations and embarked on Spanish lessons with David Mercedes at Espaanglisch School and I have never looked back. His energetic and dynamic manner of teaching suited my learning style perfectly and I can honestly say that I left every lesson feeling like I had learned something new. I started to see the results I wanted within just a few classes and quickly built the grammar foundations on top of which I have been able to build ever since. In my opinion his way of teaching is not only effective but also highly enjoyable! I would advise anyone thinking about taking classes with Espaanglisch to do it but, word of advice, come to class with an open mind, a sense of humour and a capacity to lie! Qué rico!

Are you considering taking Spanish lessons at Espaanglisch School with David? I have only one advice for you: DO IT! David is the best Spanish teacher you can get! I know this must sound a bit like a promotional talk but I can honestly say that I have never had a better Spanish teacher before and I know because I have had several during my travels in Latin America. David is a professional who knows perfectly how to teach a language. He teaches you exactly the things you need to know so that once outside the classroom you can give the impression that you can actually talk Spanish, ha! Never knew that Spanish lessons could be so much fun!!! Just one good tip for you: promise David pie de manzana and he will never be too late for class!

My time in the Espaanglisch volunteer program was a very fulfilling experience. When I first got to Huanchaco I met the head of the program named David Mercedes. Through all my time in Huanchaco he became a great friend and teacher. He gave me Spanish lessons at least once a week, which were extremely helpful and beneficial in the development of my current ability to speak Spanish. He is a fantastically patient person and understands the rules, structure, and grammar of many languages. The only thing that could be viewed as a downside of these lessons is that he sometimes comes late. However, I came just as late sometimes as well. As long as you get rid of the concept of your time as being extremely important, individual, and like a commodity, you will be fine and will take much from the lessons. Besides, the concept of punctuality is not practiced a lot in Peru, and whether a person likes that or not they should learn, adapt, and live with it as they are a guest in another land with its particular customs.
