ABOUT US As of 1997 StudyTeam Cuba offers Spanish courses in Santiago de Cuba and from 2000 onwards we initialized the same program in Havana. Later in 2002 the same initiative was founded in Trinidad. As a way to make our contribution to Cuban culture stronger, StudyTeam has a joint venture with “Paradiso”, the Agency for Cultural Tourism of the Large Caribbean Island. Our Spanish language program includes mini group intensive classes and individual lessons. All teachers are native, highly educated speakers and have been well trained in language teaching to foreigners. For accommodation, we have carefully selected host families in the best neighbourhoods for an enjoyable stay and a real experience of local lifestyle. Students can combine a Spanish language course with dance or music lessons for a complete immersion in the artistic Cuban culture. Activities and excursions are an important part of the program as well; every week we organize social plans to help students visit the most attractive places in Cuba and enjoy the local events. StudyTeam makes a language course in Cuba an adventure like never before! WHY CUBA? Not only is Cuba a beautiful country, it also has a population that is very friendly and hospitable in spite of the economic difficulties it underwent in the last few years. It's a country of music, poetry, dancing, singing and chatting. People still have time for each other and for their guests. Cuba is like going back in time to the 50's: old cars, a relaxed atmosphere, no hurry. Apart from that Cuba has a nice climate. All year round you can enjoy the beaches, water sports, etc. INDEX - About us/ Why Cuba 2 - About the school /Contact details 3 - Commission/ Payments/ Cancellations 4 - Havana/Our location: Vedado/Arriving in Havana 5 - Trinidad/Our location: Downtown Trinidad/ Arriving in Trinidad 6 - Santiago de Cuba/Our location: Reparto Sueño/Arriving in Santiago 7 - Our program: Courses, Timetable, Dates, Levels, Placement test, Duration, Teachers, Materials, Holidays 8 - Our courses: Mini group, Mini group Special, One-to-one 9 - Special courses: Dance and Music 10 - Special courses: Social Projects and Diving 11 - Accommodation/Living with a host family/ Airport/bus station transfers 12 - Prices 2019 13 - Conditions and Terms 14 - First week in Cuba 15 - Activities/ Sample excursions 16 - Practical information: Tourist visa, Insurance, Airport tax 17 - Practical information: Cuba, Communications, Electricity, Time, Weather, Daily expenses 18 - Practical information: Holidays, Medical, Money, Sports, Transportation 19 - Places of interest/ Cultural centres/ Calendar of Cuban events 20 2 Book at worldwide lowest price at: https://www.languagecourse.net/discount-ryugaku/gakko-studyteam-cuba-havana.php3 +1 646 503 18 10 +44 330 124 03 17 +34 93 220 38 75 +33 1-78416974 +41 225 180 700 +49 221 162 56897 +43 720116182 +31 858880253 +7 4995000466 +46 844 68 36 76 +47 219 30 570 +45 898 83 996 +39 02-94751194 +48 223 988 072 +81 345 895 399 +55 213 958 08 76 +86 19816218990 HAVANA, TRINIDAD AND SANTIAGO DE CUBA ABOUT THE SCHOOL Classes are held at LOCAL HOMES, either in the teacher's home, in the house of the host family or in the case of Trinidad in one of the cultural centres (which most of the time is the local library).

A city where little is allowed but much more is possible. After years of undeniable decline, this impressive metropolis, now included in the UNESCO list of World Monuments, is rising like a phoenix from its ashes. Havana is a city one has to learn to appreciate. It is a melting pot of cultures and races, an open-air museum under the strict direction of Castro. Apart from the picturesque inner city, the “Playas del Este” and the famous Malecón (the immense boulevard that is considered to be the living room of Havana) you should take some time to get to know Vedado. This is the part of Havana where the host families live and where you find many art deco buildings that would be considered national monuments in many countries. OUR LOCATION: VEDADO All of our lessons and accommodations are arranged in VEDADO. This nice and residential neighbourhood is considered the current Havana downtown, the area of business, commerce and nightlife. Vedado contrasts Old Havana with its cosmopolitan and lively style. The district is very diverse, with a number of cultural centres, restaurants, theatres, parks, boulevards and night clubs that guarantee plenty of entertainment options for a comfortable stay during a language program and during holidays as well. Also, most banks, airlines and travel agencies are located here which together with the several hotels and stores available make the whole area the most convenient of the city. The distance to Old Havana is just 10 minutes by car or coco-taxi and 30 minutes walking. Some important landmarks in Vedado: Hotel Nacional, José Martí Stadium, the University of Havana, the National Theatre of Cuba, and the Colón Cemetery. ARRIVING IN HAVANA We recommend students to take a taxi to go to our meeting point.

  • Trump Administration Ends Regular Flights to Several Cuban Destinations
    Trump administration ends regular flights to several Cuban destinations Washington, October 25 (RHC)-- The United States will suspend scheduled flights to nine destinations in Cuba beginning in December, according to White House sources. On December 10th, U.S. airlines will have the authorization to fly only to Havana. The affected airlines -- including American, Delta and JetBlue -- will have 45 days to wrap up their operations to those destinations, according to the White House. The nine destinations impacted are: Ignacio Agramonte International Airport in Camagüey; the Jardines del Rey Airport in Cayo Coco; the Vilo Acuña Airport in Cayo Largo; the Jaime González Airport in Cienfuegos; the Frank País Airport in Holguín; the Sierra Maestra Airport in Manzanillo; the Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport in Matanzas; the Abel Santamaría Airport in Santa Clara; and the Antonio Maceo Airport in Santiago de Cuba. American Airlines said in a statement it was “reviewing today’s announcement regarding service to non- Havana airports in Cuba. We will continue to comply with federal law, work with the administration, and update our policies and procedures regarding travel to Cuba as necessary.” JetBlue said the company will also comply with the new regulations. “We are beginning to work with our various government and commercial partners to understand the full impact of this change on our customers and operations in Camagüey, Holguín and Santa Clara,” the company said on a statement sent to the Miami Herald. Charter flights, on which many Cuban-Americans travel to Cuba from Miami, will not be affected. Scheduled commercial flights to Cuba began under the administration of Barack Obama in 2016.
