Spanglish Language School in Sayulita

Gina and Juan are well educated, serious and ambitious teachers - with a great personal style. After living more than 2 years in Mexico, where I have been working in an international setting in both English and Spanish, Gina and Juan gave my Spanish a big boost with an intensive course over 5 days. A fantastic experience. Gracias amigos. Abrazos y éxito.

The best of the spanish schools I’ve been to in Mexico. Juan & Gina are such great people, not only did I learn a ton and really gain comfort in speaking Spanish, but the conversation was great as well. Thank you so much guys!!

My wife and I recently visited Sayulita to practice Spanish for our law practice. I had studied with Juan 6 months prior. We started classes in a palapa overlooking Sayulita and the ocean. The view from the palapa is worth the price of admission. Due to my learning style and attention span, I asked if we could just walk around. Juan agreed. So we walked and chatted for the 2 hours a day. It was amazing. I learned quite a bit of Spanish. More importantly for me at the time was it helped me get over my reluctance to speak Spanish to others. However, the thing I liked the most was learning about Sayulita, Nayarit and Mexico all of which Juan was very knowledgeable. We chatted the entire time. I would start in Spanish, move to Spanglish then when all else failed, I would use English. Juan was amazingly patient letting me make my mistakes while politely and gently correcting them as I stumbled along. It was perfect for me.

It was so perfect, my wife and I signed up for 2 weeks with Juan and Gina, his wife and partner in Spanglish. My wife’s learning style was more suited to books and workbooks in the palapa. Juan and I walked and chatted, with his tablet always available for illustration and grammar. We both learned a lot. I have finally achieved a sufficient level of Spanish and the confidence to speak it that I am using Spanish around the office and around town. My wife has done the same. We have much to learn but I feel like Juan and Gina put us on the right path and we have stuck with it.

We definitely plan on going back for additional classes with Juan and Gina whenever we can get away from the office. We not only want to go back for the Spanish lessons but to see Juan and Gina, who are both lovely, gentle, intelligent and very interesting teachers. We missed them as soon as we left Sayulita.

I have been taking private classes with Juan. Juan and Gina are very flexible and adapt to your needs and schedule. Juan was able to create a very encouraging environment to talk Spanish but at the same time he was still accurate in correcting me. Juan and Gina are dedicated to teaching and their students, they even created their own workbooks. I has been a true pleasure and never a boring moment!

Juan has a true passion for language and teaching. His classes are as fun as they are educational. You won't find a better Spanish instructor.

What an amazing experience! Juan and Gina are both very pleasant, flexible and easy to work with. Their teaching style is very smooth and efficient, makes you love Spanish language even more. I participated in some immersive activities and learned tons of conversation tips that are not usually taught in classes. I particularly loved the cooking class (definitely a major highlight in my trip). I highly recommend them if you’re around Sayulita.

Thank you Juan and Gina.

I took a lesson with Gina after finding her jungle hike experience on AirBnB. I’ve been studying Spanish for a while but this was really the first lesson that I got to practice Spanish conversation properly. And then learned some verb conjugation. It was so helpful! Gina is a great teacher and adapts to any level — and the location is sooo great. What a view! I really recommend anyone visiting Sayulita to come and do a lesson or two here, for the experience, and also because it’s nice to know the language of the place you’re visiting, of course ;)

Thanks Gina, Juan and Leoni!

My classes at Spanglish over the two weeks that I was in Sayulita were the absolute highlight of my trip. I am an advanced student and a teacher myself so I am quite picky about classes, but Gian and Juan were the best! We talked about all manner of topics, learned about art, cooking, hiking, and so much more. I really couldn't recommend them more!

Having Spanish lessons at Spanglish Spanish school was the highlight of our 2-week visit to Sayulita! Gina and Juan are fantastic teachers, very personable. They offered a completely flexible variety of learning options including group lessons, 1:1 lessons, cooking classes in their home and walks in the nearby jungle. The best thing for my wife and I was to be able to have conversational lessons where we shared a lot of information about our respective lives and interests. We have taken Spanish lessons elsewhere in Sayulita can say without equivocation that Spanglish Spanish School is the best!

Excellent teacher, thoughtful conversation in an amazing environment, overlooking the ocean, just one block above the Plaza, where he was kind enough to meet me, making it very easy to find the place! I will definitely be back
