Quiero hacer una crítica constructiva. Una amiga que tiene un hijo en clases de taekwondo me invitó y fuí.. Pero si algo me ha impactado es presenciar la patanería con que le habla ese "profesor" a los niños, toamando en cuenta que los niños que asisten son de alta estima, no son delincuentes, ni están en una academia militar. Una es hablarles con autoridad y otra es la forma altanera y patana de ese señor. Por lo menos yo jamás permitiría que a mi hijo le hablen de esa forma

Great school. Wonderful teachers, and a great way to experience Nicaragua. Leon is a wonderful city, and a comfortable one for anyone visiting Nicaragua. I spent six weeks taking Spanish language classes and learning even more from my family stay. Enjoy! There is a fabulous beach only 19 kilometers away with a bus going from Leon every hour each day. There is a world class art museum and the Ruben Dario home and museum.....
