The teachers generally receive Mexican-level wages, however, and you might find those low compared to your current income level. If you spend some time here and get to know the area, you might be able to discover a niche for your unique skills. Or you could try getting in touch with Yucatan Expatriate Services (YES)... they might be able to point you in a fruitful direction.

They are on a semester or quarter basis. All the others are good schools, but we have no personal experience with them. All our friends (who live here) attend either UNAM or Habla. You might try contacting the schools you are interested in directly via email and ask them each a few questions. And let us know after your trip what you liked or didn't like! Shawna,

Do they offer 2 week intensive programs? Also what is your opinion on ECORA, CIS and the Institute of Modern Spanish? I'm looking for a good school for a 2 week course for an adult learner. I'm travelling within the next 2 weeks and need to book my school ASAP :) Has anyone attended UNAM? Do they offer 2 week intensive programs?

Which school did you choose? I'm travelling to Merida in a few weeks and finding it difficult to choose a school. Your advice would be appreciated. Gracias Verna,
