If you are on a budget but still you want to pursue some Spanish studies in a Latin American country, try going to Merida. While Caracas has more schools offering Spanish courses, it is cheaper to live and study in Merida since it is in the countryside, unlike in Caracas where everything has the “big city” price tag. Merida is also by the foot of the Andes Mountains, so the city is more laidback, less polluted, and cooler than Caracas. A good option is Merida’s Jakera School, voted by the international language association as one of the world’s top three schools that teaches Spanish.
