Spanish Language School
History |
A Portuguese explorer sailing under the Spanish flag discovered Ensenada on September 17, 1542. Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo named the area San Mateo.
It remained San Mateo for 60 years. In 1602 Spanish captain and explorer Sebastián Vizcaíno rediscovered the area. He renamed it Ensenada de Todos Los Santos
She elaborates on the influencial roles of historical notables like Father Junípero Serra, The Dominicans, Alferez José Manuel Ruiz and Francisco Gastelum.
Remember that as recent as 1848 and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, there was no difference between Baja California, Mexico and what is now the US state of California.

“The Baja California Language College was the perfect answer to my recent challenge. I was about to head down to Baja in March of this year and participate with Amigos de los Californios in a two-week dental clinic for the remote mountain villages of Santa Martha and San Francisco. I was to be the receptionist for the clinic and my Spanish skills needed a swift boost.
I contacted Keith Rolle of the Baja California Language College in Ensenada. This was the third time I was returning to the school and since my time was limited, they accommodated my request for only three days of attendance. There were three students in my morning class and two of us in the afternoon class. This allowed for plenty of individual attention and opportunity for practice. A review of verb tenses and expressions helped my mind set and the speaking helped my tongue remember what to do inside my mouth to make the Spanish flow.
Teachers were knowledgeable about Latin American cultures as well as the Spanish language. Classroom space was beautiful, comfortable and close to wonderful restaurants and taco stands for lunch. Many of the classroom exercises and assignments were fun and excursions to La Bufadora and the vineyards in Guadalupe Valley provided enjoyable opportunities to practice our Spanish.
Living with a family is the best. I have experienced three different homes and all were excellent. Besides providing two or three delicious meals a day and comfortable, private bedroom accommodations, the “Mamas” are well trained to speak slowly and distinctly and listen intently. Your Spanish can’t help but improve in a very non-threatening atmosphere.
If you’d like to increase your knowledge of Spanish or learn to speak more fluently so you can better enjoy your travels in Mexico, the Baja California Language College is an excellent way to do it. View their website at www.bajacal.com or call our Discover Baja office at 800-727-2252 and ask for Carol. I’ll be glad to extol the benefits of the Language College. Feliz viaje!”
