I took six private lessons at SAY ZONTE! and really enjoyed my experience. It was fun and not boring at all! I was a complete beginner and learnt some useful phrases for short everyday converations. I especially recommend booking classes with Adonai who is a very professional and patient teacher !!

I had an excellent experience at Say Zonte Spanish School. I originally signed up for 10 in-person classes while I was staying in El Zonte, and I enjoyed them so much that I purchased 20 additional online classes to continue learning after returning home. The teachers are patient, knowledgeable, and make every lesson interactive and enjoyable. They encourage you to speak from the very beginning, which really helped me build confidence. The classes were well structured but also adapted to my level and learning goals. If you’re looking for a Spanish school in El Zonte, I highly recommend Say Zonte Spanish School!

My son (age 16) had an excellent experience with Say Zonte! I organized lessons with Adonay, who was very helpful answering all my questions. The team reached our ahead of time to help me plan for a week of lessons while we were visiting El Zonte and did a 30-minute (free) assessment session online to assess my son's level. His instructor, Giovanni, was well prepared each day with a structured lesson plan and was both professional and knowledgeable as well as enjoyable for him to spend time with. The location is comfortable for learning and near several restaurants and surf spots for a snack or a break. My son is really happy that he has this connection in case he wants to sign up for extra help online during the school year, or for more lessons during the summer. ¡Muchas gracias!

I feel so happy that I chose Say Zonte for my one month Spanish immersion experience as a beginner over other programs I've looked into in other Spanish-speaking countries. Say Zonte really lives up to its philosophy: "Learn Spanish, Practice Spanish, Live Spanish." I did the 1-on-1 Spanish lessons with Adonay daily from Monday to Friday. I'm so grateful for his patience, care, encouragement and personalized approach to plan and teach me what I wanted to learn for the month I was there. I appreciated the common words/phrases/questions that was taught. They were so useful as I often used them in my daily interactions with the locals in El Zonte. I especially appreciated and enjoyed learning about El Salvador and the Salvadoran culture (especially the delicious food!) when I practiced speaking in Spanish by asking questions to Adonay in the first 10-15 minutes of class. Ericka who works at Say Zonte's front desk always takes her time before and after my class to talk to me, so I have even more practice to speak and listen in Spanish. I'm truly so thankful for her too! I can now read a menu, order food, and also have a very basic conversation with locals in Spanish. It's all due to Adonay's exceptional teaching skills and Ericka's warm support. Muchas gracias!! If you're interested in learning Spanish, sign up at Say Zonte. You won't regret it!

Say Zonte offers the perfect way to learn or improve Spanish quickly, and to enhance your stay in the cool surf town of El Zonte. I am very grateful for the 1-on-1 lessons with Adonay, which gave me the confidence to speak Spanish during my further stay in El Salvador. The classes placed great emphasis on practicing Spanish, with grammar impulses adapted to my needs. I highly recommend Say Zonte for anyone who wants to improve their Spanish while staying in the wonderful El Zonte!

I had a great experience at Say Zonte. I only took Spanish lessons for a few days while I was in El Zonte, but Adonay took time to focus on some lessons I had difficulty with. I would definitely recommend.

My girlfriend and I had a amazing time at Say Zonte during our week in El Zonte. We both felt we had a small base (aka knowing some words) but needed structure. We took 3 classes (2h each) at the beginning of our trip so we could practice during our time here. Best decision! We immediately saw improvement and it helped a lot to speak Spanish with local people for the rest of our time in El Salvador. It also motivates us to keep practicing. Thanks a lot to our teacher Adonay and the school for this opportunity.

I had a great experience at Say Zonte, thanks to Adonay, my teacher. I’ve never learnt or spoken Spanish before, but Adonay’s friendly & patient teaching style really helped me develop an understand of Spanish words, lingo & phrases.

I had a great experience at say Zonte. I only took lessons for a few days but my Spanish improved a lot during that time, especially my speaking and listening because of the variety of things we would do in each lesson. Would definitely recommend to others.
