4 cities in 4 weeks Mexico in July to study Spanish

You might do better remaining in one place for your Spanish studies.

Are you worried that you will get bored staying in one location for four weeks? For me local culture is usually the main attraction at any particular Mexican destination. And, there are more things to do in particular places than happen to be listed in guidebooks. An additional bonus to staying in a single place longer is that it gives you more opportunity to establish acquaintanceships with local people.

When I studied Spanish in Cuernavaca for ten weeks many years ago I had no trouble staying occupied. That was my first trip to Mexico so everything taking place around me was novel and bit disorienting. In other words, I initially experienced some cultural shock. It wasn't until after I'd spent several weeks continuously right there in Cuernavaca that I ventured out a bit to explore other places.

Every time you change to a new school in a new city the teachers there will need reassess your level of fluency and then you may then need to become accustomed to a teaching approach different from what you previously experienced.

And, even if you do all of your study in one place you could take some weekend excursions elsewhere, radiating from that base location.

You haven´t given us any idea of what your preferences or values are, so we can´t give reasonable suggestions. However a standard gringo route, that is, Mexico City, Puebla, Oaxaca, and then San Cristobal de las Casas might suit you.

If you are interested in exploring great language schools in interesting areas, go off the beaten trail to the mountains of Michoacan and enjoy the beauty of Lake Patzcuaro. CELEP in Patzcuaro is an excellent choice, with small classes, superior teachers and a convenient, central location.

Yes, I was concerned that we, moreso my daughter, would become bored. I initially had decided on queretaro, but Ole was the only school I could find there, and once I started looking in other States, i realized that Ole was very expensive.
So I looked at Guanojuanto (sp) because a lot of people recommended Plateros Spanish school. Their prices were more reasonable and there were more houses on Airbnb which is how we plan to live.

After reading the comments above, maybe I will stick with my plan and spend 4 weeks in one place, which I think will be guanajanto.
Thanks

Everyone has their own style, personally I'd recommend checking out at least 2 cities during that time.

BTW, I tend to find much better Airbnb options in Queretaro than Guanajuato... though it all depends on the timing.

You could do both Patzcuaro and Guanajuato. Lots more to do around Patzcuaro, such as visiting the craft towns surrounding the lake. Excellent small museums in both towns. And have you considered a homestay? I had a great one in Guanajuato, with a 70 year old retired nurse, in a large, beautiful house. And she was a great cook! Homestays really help with learning the language.

you should go to michoacan, it is near queretano and its a good place to stay

Michoacán? In the conflict zone?

LW

#8, no, not the Tierra Caliente. Time to do some research and reading... maybe even a little travel. A Spanish school in Pátzcuaro might be a good idea, to be able to read actual current news in, you know. Spanish.

Calling all of Michoacán a "conflict zone" is as silly as calling Mexico a "conflict zone," and you're not fooling anyone into believing that you are unclear on the concept.
