Why Studying Abroad Is the Best Thing You Can Do for Yourself and coming here to Na'atik Language and Culture Institute is such a perfect place to go. #spanish #immersion thriveglobal.com/stories/why…

We did it!! Thank you to all our donors and supporters. Our students will now be able to get out of the classroom and speak what they've learned - and in turn will boost their confidence and self-esteem. Thank you@@ZamasHotel .
Here at Na’atik, today we’re jumping for joy! Thanks to @ZamasHotel & everyone who participated in our Beyond the Classroom 2019 fundraiser, we exceeded our $3500 goal and have raised a total of $3590. Thank you!! The lucky winner of this year's raffle will be announced soon!

Well, my favorite is 'chela' slang for a beer - from the Maya word, 'chel' meaning blondie. #maya #linguistics buff.ly/2Wrk1oE via @https://buff.ly/2JXVVen

We have less than $1000 to go! These kids deserve to learn and practice out of the classroom and you deserve to have a dreamy, Caribbean vacation!

When huaya is in season, you see kids and adults alike carrying around twigs full of them in their hands and their cheeks bulging from the huaya in their mouths. #QuintanaRoo

This week, some of our students enjoyed a visit from Sophie, a student nurse and Maestra Hannah’s sister. Sophie took part in fun classroom activities with our young learners and also participated in role play exercises with our older students. #ThursdayMotivation
