I really enjoyed the environment and the relaxed atmosphere of the classroom. The teachers are helpful in many aspects, not only in language but in transportation and general knowledge of the city and Dominican culture.

In such small classes, each student gets personalized curriculum and attention. The instructors are astute in their assessment of each students' need. They are also culturally sensitive, and do their best to help the student adjust. They promote an informal atmosphere, and go out of their way to make sure the students succeed.

This was an excellent school to learn Spanish as a second language. The type of classes can adapt to multiple styles of learning. I highly recommend this school if you want to learn Spanish or about the Dominican Soul.

Dear Visitor, the Homepage was updated on 20 May 2006. So it was necessary to import the guestbook entries. The original posting dates were found in the admins comment.

In November 2001 I passed two weeks at C-E-I-C. I had an excellent time there! The classes were very effective, I had great fun learning lots of things, not only about Spanish Grammar but also about Dominican culture, politics and social issues. Apart from the classes at the school we went on outings to the city centre and the colonial zone where I could practice what I had learned in class. I was lodged with a family who lived near the school. From the first day Dona Margarita and her family treated me like a member of their family. I felt immediately at home there! All in all a language vacation with C-E-I-C is absolutely recommendable! Thanks for everything to Marta, Ana and the whole team! Un abraza a todos! Janina

When I set foot in the Dominican Republic in May, 2000 for a 3-year missionary term, I knew very little Spanish and very little about this country. After a 4-week "intensive"-- classroom study 4 hours a day, 5 days a week; cultural field trips, living in a Dominican home--at CEIC, I felt able and confident to move to the "campo," communicate the necessary basics, and use public transportation. The teachers have been competent, patient, and available for tutorial sessions when requested. --Barbara Eby, Azua, DR Hope this finds you all doing well!

As an American working with Dominican church leaders, learning Spanish has been crucial to my job. At CEIC, my teacher tailored my studies to what I would be doing in my work. We jumped right in to speaking Spanish (as much as I could) the first day, but thankfully she was extremely patient and encouraging. The fieldtrips, including learning how to use public transportation, helped me feel more comfortable getting around the country. My host family provided lots of opportunities to practice what I learned each day while the teenage son helped me learn my numbers by playing several games of Monopoly. I received from this program a great foundation to the Spanish language, an introduction to the Dominican culture, resource people that I continue to use, and good friends.
