Rent Your Textbook. Save Money!!

Here are a couple of reasons why renting a book is a great savings idea:

  • If you decide not to pursue your Spanish language classes, you could return it.
  • You do not have to spend extra money when you advance to the next level by purchasing new books. You may rent the next books out with the same deposit when returning the previous book.
  • More importantly, certain schools boast that they do not charge for learning material (books). However, what some of them do is photo copy the book(s) which cheats the author, as well as being copyright infringement. This is illegal and against publisher’s policies. Sign up at IMAC. Get the best instruction and save money.
  • Now you can save a bundle by simply putting down a deposit of the textbook’s cost, $33.00 USD.

    When you return the book- in mint condition- (not written, torn or worn out) you will get back $28.00 USD. This means only a $5.00 USD cost for the use of original materials for as long as your course lasts. If you decide to keep the book, then the deposit will cover the cost of the book.

    ISIC Card, Discounts around the world:

    A new global partnership forged between IMAC and The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) will benefit you and all our students worldwide. Every year more than 4.5 million students from 120 countries use their student card. ISIC is the only globally recognized student ID in over 120 countries offering 40,000 + discounts on plane, train, boat tickets, restaurants, museums; the list is endless, all this as you travel abroad and a wealth of benefits closer to home.

    More than 250 universities and colleges around the globe have chosen ISIC for a partnership. Discounts are likely to reach and benefit a huge proportion of students who are keen to travel and see their world, and IMAC is excited to offer you this world of opportunity.

    NOTE: Please keep in mind; schools that offer what seems like many class hours per day. A great price may be taking into account all the time when there is a teacher present in an activity which may not always involve language learning. The class hours that we offer, ALL involve formal learning under a structured program with students at your same group level and your official teacher, PLUS the varied activities, where an instructor is also present and our students enjoy at no cost. Want to save money? Check the total prices at your school. Is a daily and structured conversation class free? What about a media lab with the latest and greatest software aids? Does you school provide cultural exchanges and movies free of charge? Some schools do not charge for registration, but in the end, you pay more in higher prices, airport pick up, homestay placement fees, etc.

    What makes IMAC Spanish Language Programs different from other providers:

    • You will be studying at an institution accredited by the Instituto Cervantes as an official examination center for the Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language in Guadalajara, Mexico, widely known as DELE (Diploma de Español como lengua Extanjera). We must mention that we are the only accredited examination center in our region; and we are perhaps the only language center in Mexico with official accreditation for DELE testing from both, The Ministry for Education of Spain and The Teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language from The Secretary of Education of Mexico.

    • The Instituto Cervantes is a public organism based in Spain and commissioned with regulating and standardizing the instruction of Spanish worldwide. With presence in 4 continents, this organization admits and recognizes only institutions, like ours, which are committed to quality, efficiency, and above all excellence in the instruction of the Spanish language.
    • IMAC Spanish Language Programs has been an accredited educational institute since 1976. We are proud members of several leading industry organizations such as:
      ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents),

    • You are strongly encouraged to maximize your learning by attending our Multimedia Lab an additional hour daily, 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. No extra fee.
    • As an added advantage, you will pay your home-stay family directly. Unlike many other institutions, we charge no home-stay placement fee or hidden commissions for this service. Please bring the necessary cash or traveler's checks to exchange for cash.
    • Since our courses are designed to be taken by one week programs, you may attend our Spanish classes from as little as one week, to as long as desired. Please note that after paying your registration fee you do not have to pay this fee again when returning.
    • You will be able to take advantage of additional discounts if you take more than four weeks of classes. In order to receive the tuition discount you must cover your full tuition on your first day of classes.

    Daily Activities Schedule:

    9:00 AM to 11:00 AM
    Students are involved in direct Spanish language instruction with a native instructor. All areas of Spanish language fluency are developed.

    11:00 AM to 11:15 AM
    Students go to break.

    11:15 AM to 1:00 PM
    Intensive Spanish classes with your instructor resume.

    1:00 PM to 2:00 PM
    In addition to the classroom instruction, you have unlimited access to our Multimedia Lab (email, Internet, interactive Spanish programs), free of charge. Our students are strongly encouraged to maximize their learning by attending our Multimedia Lab an additional hour daily, though you may use the Multimedia Lab for as long as you wish during school hours. This brings your number of hours to 25 weekly (20 hours of teacher instruction and a recommended minimum 5 hours of free lab time).

    Students receive the opportunity to be involved independently with our computer assisted language laboratory. This is a service that will allow the Spanish language student to reinforce the skill areas of pronunciation, listening, reading, and writing at the same time. The students´ individual interests and areas of need are addressed as they work on the area that they choose.

    We also offer our students the opportunity to participate in a language and cultural exchange group, which will allow the student to practice his or her new language skills with native Spanish speaking students in a relaxed, informal setting. This activity is supervised by an instructor every afternoon, and is free of charge; therefore adding an optional additional hour of instruction per day.
