Havana, the capital of Cuba, is one of the world's most distinctive cities, with its colourful classic cars, colonial buildings, the Malecón seafront and a vibrant music culture. It offers an unforgettable experience for those who want to learn Spanish surrounded by salsa and Caribbean culture.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Havana. Spanish courses for foreigners at the University of Havana and other language programs in the city are among the options.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to 6 months. Schools usually follow the Common European Framework levels from A1 to C1.
Language school fees in Havana depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and promotions. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place. Language schools in Latin America usually charge lower weekly fees than in Europe.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a confirmation, which is used for visa and residence procedures on long programs.
Schools are open all year, there are no lessons on public holidays, and missed lessons are usually not made up. We recommend choosing your dates around the climate and your travel plans.
Visa rules depend on the country where you study. Turkish citizens can enter many Latin American countries visa-free or with simple visa procedures for short tourist visits, and short language courses are usually taken on this status. Always check the current entry requirements of the country before you travel.
Paid work during language study is very limited. However, the region's low cost of living makes it easier to study on your savings.
Students in Havana usually stay in 'casas particulares', licensed guesthouses run by families, which are ideal for getting to know local life.
Daily costs in Cuba can be low, but foreign bank cards have limited use, so we recommend carrying cash (usually euros) and planning your budget in advance.
Taxis, classic car taxis and buses are used in Havana, and Old Havana is easy to walk. Internet access can be limited.
Havana has a tropical climate and is warm all year: drier and milder from November to April, and hotter, more humid and rainier from June to October. June to November is hurricane season.
Havana's José Martí Airport (HAV) is reached from Turkey with connecting flights via Europe.
Havana is 8 hours behind Turkey in winter, and the difference drops to 7 hours while daylight saving time applies (usually March to November). Keep this in mind when planning lessons and online calls.
