The Bildungsurlaub Spanish Program at Celas Maya is designed for professionals and employees from Germany who wish to combine intensive Spanish learning with cultural immersion in Guatemala. The program is structured to meet the academic and intensity requirements commonly associated with Bildungsurlaub educational leave programs.
Before the course begins, students complete a placement evaluation and learning needs assessment. Based on their level, professional background, and personal goals, an individualized study plan is developed to maximize language progress during their stay.
The program combines intensive Spanish instruction with practical communication, cultural experiences, and real-life immersion. Classes focus on speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary development, and intercultural communication, while also allowing students to explore Guatemalan culture and daily life through guided activities and interaction with the local community.
Courses are taught by experienced native-speaking instructors using a communicative and student-centered methodology that encourages active participation and rapid language development.
Depending on the student’s objectives, the program may also include specialized Spanish areas such as:
professional Spanish;
medical Spanish;
conversation and fluency development;
DELE or SIELE preparation;
and Spanish for travel and intercultural communication.
The Bildungsurlaub program is ideal for:
professionals taking educational leave;
employees seeking international and intercultural experience;
adults interested in intensive language immersion;
and students who wish to combine academic learning with cultural exploration.
Students can also participate in extracurricular activities, cultural workshops, social events, and homestay experiences with local families, creating a complete immersion environment that strengthens both language acquisition and cultural understanding.
Programs are offered in-person in Quetzaltenango, one of the most authentic and culturally rich regions of Guatemala for Spanish immersion experiences.

Located in the heart of Quetzaltenango (Xela), Guatemala’s second largest city, Celas Maya Spanish School offers students a safe, authentic, and academically focused environment for Spanish immersion. The school is situated in a central and walkable area of the city, close to cafés, restaurants, markets, museums, gyms, banks, pharmacies, and public transportation.
Quetzaltenango is internationally recognized as one of the best destinations in Latin America for serious Spanish study due to its authentic Spanish-speaking environment, strong indigenous Maya culture, and lower presence of English compared to more touristic cities. This allows students to practice Spanish naturally in daily life and accelerate their learning process through real cultural interaction.
Celas Maya combines high-quality Spanish instruction with deep cultural immersion. Students can participate in cultural workshops, cooking classes, conferences on Guatemalan history and Maya culture, volunteer opportunities, and excursions to important destinations such as Lake Atitlán, Chichicastenango, Fuentes Georginas, and local villages in the Guatemalan highlands.
Most host families and accommodations are located within walking distance of the school. Carefully selected host families provide students with private rooms, Wi-Fi, meals, and meaningful daily interaction in Spanish, helping students experience Guatemalan culture in a personal and authentic way.
The school itself features a welcoming colonial-style atmosphere with comfortable classrooms, study areas, gardens, and common spaces that encourage interaction among international students, teachers, and local staff. Every morning, students can also enjoy high-quality Guatemalan coffee as part of the school’s warm community environment.
With more than 25 years of experience, Celas Maya has become a respected institution for Spanish as a Foreign Language in Guatemala, offering personalized programs for adults, university students, professionals, retirees, and educational groups seeking both academic excellence and meaningful cultural immersion.

At Celas Maya
, our homestay program is designed to provide students with a safe, comfortable, and authentic cultural immersion experience in Quetzaltenango. All host families are located within walking distance of the school and in the surrounding neighborhoods, allowing students to move easily between their accommodation and classes without the need for transportation.
Students stay in carefully selected Guatemalan homes where they can experience daily life, traditions, and genuine interaction with local families. The most important aspect of the homestay experience at Celas Maya is communication and cultural exchange, helping students practice Spanish naturally outside the classroom.
Host families provide three daily meals, offering students the opportunity to enjoy traditional Guatemalan cuisine and learn more about the country’s culinary culture. Meals often include local ingredients, homemade dishes, and regional specialties from the Guatemalan highlands.
To support students’ health and well-being, the school also provides purified drinking water through an ozone purification system. We encourage students to bring reusable water bottles or containers and refill them at the school throughout the day.
Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to ケサルテナンゴ based on your budget, schedule and preferences.
