An excellent cultural gem in the heart of Albuquerque. For those saying, "they teach Spanish from Spain"... where do you think the language comes from? The Institute is named for the most famous writer in the history of the Spanish speaking world and the Institute itself is placed and funded by the government of Spain. This Institute and the annual Flamenco Fiesta are two of the premiere Spanish cultural gems of the US.

They don't have enough staff to offer a sequence of classes. I attended for most of a year but then they couldn't offer the next class. By their own admission, they had enough students. I can only guess they don't have the staff. Better to go to CNM, UNM, or some place you don't have to worry they won't offer the next class.

I so appreciate the Instituto Cervantes. I started as a basic student and have taken classes for three terms now, with two different instructors. Both have been professional, informed, patient, and clear in instruction. And although it is somewhat challenging, I really like that they speak to us almost exclusively in Spanish. Poco a poco, I'm building my knowledge and skills--and thoroughly enjoying the process!

A great place to learn Spanish! Pure & simple. I signed up for an in-person class that was due to start just after Covid hit, so we switched to Zoom learning. And yet, the instruction & learning remained superb. No one wanted it to be on-line, but we all did the best we could with the hand we were dealt. The reviews below about Spain-specific Spanish are hard to believe. Not sure who their instructors were, but my teacher Reyes is Spanish and was literally in Spain teaching, and I never felt she spoke to the exclusion of Mexican or any South American lingo. I had just returned from South America when I began taking the class, and I’ve studied abroad in Spain in college, so I’d like to believe I have footing to defend against the other reviewers’ claims. The class gives you a very well-rounded approach to the Spanish you’ll encounter in the world, as well as right here in New Mexico, and audio is played with all kinds of accents & origins. Speaking of instructors, I can not recommend Reyes high enough. She made the class fun and engaged with all students at our level and challenged us while supporting us. Total rockstar. I plan to take another class in 2021 when my weird covid schedule clears up, and I hope to see some of you review-readers in the classes!
