About Santiago

sryo from USA wrote about Santiago one year, 7 months ago

he experience of traveling abroad was really intense, we had direct contact with the local culture and customs; besides, we learnt a lot of Spanish. COINED Spanish school was very to important to me for the learning process; they also gave me the chance to meet some incredible people. It was worth it!
