Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Spanish How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
As I said, some courses were in english, but it is very useful to know spanish, because many good courses are in spanish, as well as it is much easier to communiate with other people..I was kind of weak in spanish in the beginning, but the teachers and your fellow students respected it, and helped the foreign students along the way..And we improved a lot, also from a lot of social interaction with mexicans This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Everyone can speak English at ITAM, but ot is best to make them speak to you in Spanish, try not to hang out with to many friends from home countries!
