What to see during your language trip to Mexico

Mexico is a vast country in which to learn the language, with many places and cities to visit, each offering a different learning experience. However, here are three of our favorite cities for a language trip in Mexico:

Playa del Carmen

Located on the Riviera Maya, learning Spanish in Playa del Carmen combines beautiful Caribbean beaches with a large international community. It is one of the most popular destinations for studying the language thanks to its relaxed atmosphere and excellent range of language schools.

What's more, you can study in the morning and enjoy the beach in the afternoon, go snorkeling, visit cenotes, or stroll along the famous Fifth Avenue, which is full of shops, cafes, and bars. Nearby are the Mayan ruins of Tulum, Cobá, and the impressive Chichén Itzá, ideal for a weekend getaway.

Furthermore, as it is a tourist city, many people are used to talking to foreigners, which will allow you to practice your Spanish without fear or pressure.

Oaxaca

The second city is Oaxaca, a paradise for culture lovers. This colonial city, a World Heritage Site, is full of colors, markets, folk art, and a vibrant cultural life. It is perfect for students looking for an authentic experience, far from the big tourist chains.

Life in Oaxaca is peaceful, ideal for concentrating on your studies, but also very rich. Here you can visit Zapotec ruins such as Monte Albán, artisan villages such as Teotitlán del Valle, and participate in cooking or alebrijes workshops.

People in Oaxaca speak slow, very understandable Spanish, and many still speak their indigenous languages, adding an extra cultural dimension to your language experience.

Guanajuato

Finally, Guanajuato is a hidden gem in the center of Mexico. Its winding alleys, underground tunnels, and colonial architecture create a fairytale setting. It is a university city, so the youthful and cultural atmosphere is very present.

Here you can attend cultural events, outdoor movies, concerts, festivals, and literary gatherings. Plus, the city is very walkable, which encourages constant contact with people and use of the language. Be sure to visit the surrounding area: San Miguel de Allende, just an hour away, is another charming city where you can practice your Spanish in an artistic and international environment.

Gastronomy during your language trip to Mexico

Learning Spanish in Mexico also means discovering one of the richest gastronomic heritages in the world. Declared Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, Mexican cuisine is as varied as it is delicious.

In Oaxaca, you can try the famous mole negro, tamales, tlayudas, and chapulines (fried grasshoppers). In Playa del Carmen, enjoy ceviche, fish tacos, and cochinita pibil, a dish typical of the southeast. In Guanajuato, savor enchiladas mineras, gorditas, and traditional sweets. Local markets are an excellent opportunity to practice the language during your language trip to Mexico.

Asking about ingredients, chatting with vendors, or taking a Mexican cooking class will allow you to enrich your vocabulary in a fun and practical way.

And of course, you can't leave Mexico without trying tacos at a street stand, accompanied by a refreshing agua fresca, horchata, or jarrito. Eating here is a cultural experience that is part of the learning process.

A language trip to Mexico is much more than studying grammar and vocabulary. It will allow you to open to the world, understand another way of life, and discover a country that blends indigenous past, colonial heritage, and modernity.

As a Spanish student, you will find Mexico to be a stimulating, welcoming environment full of possibilities. You will learn, gain independence, empathy, adaptability, and take home memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
