spanish instruction in Cali

Planning on taking a 3-week vacation in July and would like to take spanish lessons in Cali. Anyone know a GOOD/credible school or teacher. I haven't had much luck on the internet(I've found one school in Bogota). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. jh.

have you checked with Centro Colombo Americano in Cali? I don't know if they are giving Spanish lessons now, but I know they've done it in the past.
Adela?
Nato?
Anybody?
Cheers,
Desi

Ask one of the many unemployeds in there, they'll sure do it.
Direct contact is better, learn intonation and say the d's, rr's and o's clearly.

Thanks for everyone's help. I got an email from Centro Colombo Americano but they want $17/hr so I may just see what I can find when I get down there. Thanks again.

(Functional Spanish for Foreigners)
"Making contact with a fascinating culture "

E.F.E
Latin America is a continent of new markets and new opportunities for investors, with unexplored resources and cultural diversity. For those who want to explore new possibilities, the Functional Spanish for Foreigners Program gives you the mastering of a fascinating language that will give you a new perspective on Colombian and Latin American Culture.

The EFE program has Colombian culture as its central feature, which is why the course has a number of excursions to places of special interest for visitors.

Colombia
Come to Colombia, a country of contrasts where surprising and exciting discoveries will be a part of your daily life. Located at the northwesternmost tip of South America, Colombia boasts of spectacular beaches on both the Pacific and the Atlantic coasts. This exciting Latin American country, which harbors the biggest biodiversity in the world, has a land mass of 440,505 square miles. From the dark sands of the Pacific to the sparkling white sands of the Caribbean, visitors are entranced by the magnificent Andean snowcaps and the lush tropical rain forests which were once home to a myriad of pre-hispanic cultures.

Cali
Cali, home to the Javeriana University, is a temperate and breezy city with warm, hospitable people. Come prepared for the best of spring and summer, feast on an amazing variety of tropical fruit, enjoy the mildest coffee in the world, study and learn in an incredibly exotic setting, have fun and make lifelong friends.
