• Classes Only—$60 week.(You provide your only housing) Four hours of classes (either morning or afternoon) a day. Classes start Monday and end friday.
• Live at Casa Rosario and Classes—$80 week. You live at the school where there is a communal kitchen you can use. The rooms have a comfortable bed, and there may be two students to a room when the school is full.
• Live with a Family and Classes—$115 week. You have your own room in the house of a local Maya family. You will be the only student at the house (unless you request otherwise) so you will learn faster. You will be provided three meals a day Monday through Saturday.

If you are like myself and most people, you will learn more quickly if you are forced to use what you study in your classes. When I was there in June last year, there was a very nice young woman who had corresponded with me while I was in San Francisco about Casa Rosario and registered on-line. It was nice to meet her in person. Every time I saw her she was with friends talking English. She complained to me that she wasn't learning Spanish as she had hoped, and was thinking of transferring to a school in Xela. I asked her if she was living with a family. She didn't think that would help and wanted to change schools. Finally at the end of the week after running into her several times and always telling her to move in with a family, she decided to try it. The next time I ran into her in front of her house and she was thrilled. Being with a family and away from her English speaking friends made all the difference to her progressing with her Spanish.
