Cosmopolitan capital city Quito or tranquil and colonial Cuenca offer the perfect locations for your Study Abroad Program. Our professionally developed "communication methodology" will encourage you to develop your speaking and listening, and reading and writing, as you get to practice each day by volunteering in one of the many grass-roots and community projects that we support in and around these cities.
Learning Spanish in-country goes way beyond what you can achieve by taking a regular university course. You will increase in confidence and communication skills on a daily basis, to return home a competent and confident Spanish speaker.
Our academic staff will produce a report that can provide the basis for the awarding of credit for your study program with us. Or you can apply for credit through US universities that we collaborate with to provide credit for student's courses.
"I came to Yanapuma after 3 semesters of Spanish back home and hardly able to utter a coherent sentence. Man did that change! After a month of immersion in the language and the culture and context of speaking Spanish it all made so much more sense. Anyone thinking about it should definitely just DO IT!"

Yanapuma was started in September 2006 by a group of Spanish teachers committed to improving social and enviromnental conditions in Ecuador. The organization also incorporates a foundation - Yanapuma Foundation - which carries out development projects helping indigenous and marginalized communities to develop sustainably. Our "social enterprise" model generates funding through the Spanish school and volunteer activities.
Studying with Yanapuma contributes directly to our sustainable development work!
