Middle of the World Spanish School: ¿Are you thinking in Retiring in Ecuador? Questions for yourself!

Everybody is welcome in our country but we need you to adjust to our culture, language, traditions. We don't want to be criticized for what we do good or bad. We are a developing country but we need to do it on our own pace.

Whoever you are and whatever your situation, you do indeed have to do your due diligence before leaving home. The most important questions are those you ask yourself:

– Do you speak or understand the language

– Do you like being surrounded by people from another culture?

– Even if you always did, will you like living every day in their culture, not your own?

– Did you take at least one preliminary trip before moving? Explore the country first!

– Are you willing to learn the language? (No assumptions here and no “They all speak…” Are you willing?)

– Do you have a regular way of communicating with your family and friends back home? Get one.

– Are you willing to do everything possible to make new friends?

– Are there any particular brands of food or other products from “back home” that you feel you cannot live without?

– Do you have enough income to make it comfortably each month? You should have gauged what this would be from your on-the-ground research. If you feel you do, but it’s still modest… Are you willing to live more modestly than, perhaps, other expats there do?

– Do you get excited at the thought of living in your new country? Did you feel that excitement after your preliminary trip(s)?

Do you have someone who you know in the country you are going to?

Online Spanish School offers you to establish this connection first. People who come here they know us, we are their reference point.

We bring you in an immersion program and you can identify many things from our culture. Then when you are back home, you decide if this country is the place where you want to be at.
