Why didn’t you mention Elefun Spanish school?? They really need to be updated into this list because they are by far the best (and cheapest) language school in Medellín. They are located in Laureles which is not as full of tourists as el Poblado AND next to some universities which are expensive, they are the only accredited Spanish language school that offers a Student VISA and not expensive! They helped me staying longer than 6 months and it is awesome to have classes in Elefun, everyone is so nice and the ambiance is really chill! Highly recommended!

Elefun Spanish school in Laureles is by far the best (and cheapest!) language school in Medellín. It is located in Laureles which is way better than el Poblado, which is full of tourists. The ambiance in Elefun is awesome and it felt like my new Colombian family right away! They offer fun activities as well and I have improved my Spanish tremendously!

Also, next to some universities (which are ridiculously expensive) they are the ONLY accredited Spanish language school that offers a Student VISA! My friend and I applied for one and they have helped us with everything. I was not ready to leave Medellín after 6 months and thanks to Elefun I can stay for way more time! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

In reply to Ken.

Thanks for the discussion guys. EAFIT is a university whereas Toucan is a Spanish School, two very different things. Having said that this week we have 120 students and 22 classrooms in use, which is why we’re able to claim to be the largest “Spanish School” in Colombia (and probably South America). You’re more than welcome to visit us anytime for a free orientation tour of the school.

you forgot there´s another option also to learn spanish in poblado, Medellín, at Total spanish.
comments from students there say it´s different environment and surroundings. All teachers with university degree in linguistics, philology and spanish… many years of experience, they are flexible and tailor lessons that allow you mix travel- lessons.

“Spanish Lessons for Foreigners in Medellín”
I just found this:
Thinking about the need for foreign workers or volunteers, who come to the country to develop any activity in which they need to communicate in our language, LCN LANGUAGES developed a program of teaching “Spanish classes for foreigners in Medellín” for those who wish to study this language in Colombia.
This program respects the norms of the Common European Framework and is recognized by the Medellín Department of Education, which allows us to deliver official certifications to our students, as well as offering personalized preparation for the presentation of the International Tests of Instituto Cervantes, DELE .”

Any advice?

My bad. I thought you were referring to the quote in which Toucan described themselves as the “original Spanish language school in Medellin.”

In any case, Toucan is a Spanish school, whereas EAFIT is a university which has a Spanish program. I don’t see any point in splitting hairs over this. EAFIT was also included in the article. Readers can check into both programs and decide which one best suits their needs.

In reply to Alan.

¨The claim of being the largest Spanish school in Medellin is made by Toucan, not by the author of the article. That’s made clear.¨

It is not clear – read the post, it says ¨Since Toucan is the largest Spanish school in Medellin, they can offer classes to all levels at once, making sure there will be a space for you.¨ You didn´t say Toucan claimed to be the largest.

In reply to D Jay. They are slow to respond, but the contact on their website for the spanish program is an english speaker. Try emailing her again. Classes are starting every two weeks so she's constantly busy.
