Ecuador has been considered to be one of the best countries in which to learn Spanish, there are more than one hundred schools, academies and institutes where you can learn the language. The majority of these institutions are new to this type of teaching, and very few of them have the legal permit that is granted by the Ministery of Education in Ecuador. Generally, the authorized schools are those that are qualified to give certificates on completion of courses of a minimum of 120 hours.
It is important to highlight that teaching Spanish as a foreign language began in this country about 17 years ago. One of the initiators was the Academy of Spanish Quito, from which various Spanish schools emerged. These schools are the most prestigious and the most recommended due to the excellent results they have achieved in teaching Spanish to foreigners.
The cost of Spanish lessons per hour varies between 5 and 12 dollars. The price depends on many factors such as the location of the school, the academic qualifications of the teachers, the materials used, and the level of experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign language.
