Work Your Puerto Vallarta Spanish

Here’s an idea (in case you feel a need to justify your Puerto Vallarta holiday) – explain to your curious friends and relations that you’ll be staying in a Mexico vacation villa rental as part of your “total immersion” Spanish language learning program. It’s not really a stretch of the truth, since the staff at your villa can surely give you a lesson or two.

Still, if you feel you need to demonstrate to those you left behind that you are a person of your word, you can always do something a bit more formal than the “Breakfast table Spanish at the Mexico vacation villa rental” program. A number of schools in Puerto Vallarta offer organized instruction in the Spanish language (be advised that time spent in the classroom may cut into the glorious time you planned to spend on the beach).

There are other ways to brush up on your Spanish skills, especially if you have some familiarity with the language to begin with. For example, you can try to locate a karaoke bar that offers song lyrics in Spanish, or you can touch base with a dance instructor and take Salsa lessons – in Spanish. Finally, when you need a bit of redemption, you can choose a church service offered in Spanish.
