Plateros Spanish School

Since 1999 students of the Colegio de Axixic in Ajijic, Jalisco have benefitted from its brain-based learning curriculum: the fact that language is a process of the subconscious mind, and not an intellectual process.

For those who feel horror-stricken by the thought of learning and conjugating lists after lists of verbs, the Colegio de Axixic concentrates first on getting you speaking Spanish, and later on the grammatical form. The alternative medicine guru Dr. Andrew Weill learned Spanish at the Colegio and wrote in The Marriage of the Sun and the Moon:

"I must say that the Polonsky method worked like a charm. In three months I was speaking passable Spanish and three months after that I was speaking good Spanish."
