You can investigate Zihuatenejo (hope I spelled that right). Cheap, and interesting. Not far from Acapulco, and minutes from Ixtapa. There are some beachy areas north of Veracruz on the other coast that are cool and cheap. I have lived down here for 4 years (in Toluca), and what started out as a whim and an adventure, has turned into "the rest of my life", as in..."I'm never going back to the states to live!" I have learned/am learning Spanish in the street. That is to say, I have never taken a class. Cuernavaca has lots of language schools and is beautiful, but those schools are expensive and it's in the middle of the country.

It's full of "spanish learning" schools... Also, the weather is amazing, the city is world-known for its climate as well as for its garden and flowers. A good thing about this city is that is just 40 minutes away from Mexico City and 2h30 from Acapulco... I had lived there for 6 years and I can tell u is really a beautiful small city...

Guadalajara has some. I don't think it is very expensive. Some of the programs place you with a family. Check into language Immersion opportunities. You can actually enroll in an immersion program.

But them if you just want to 'live with the Mexicans' there are hundreds of places along the west coast. Maybe Melaque where I live La Manzanilla has a good school and you can probably find a cheap place.

San Miguel de Allende, Guadalajara and Guanajuato. Granted, none of those cities are on the coast, but they have the friendly locals, local markets - and are best suited for your ultimate goal: to become bilingual. I spent many years in Mexico City - and although I am fluent in Spanish ... I will always and forever have the accent of a "gringo". I wish you: buena suerte. Me puedes mandar un correo electronico si desees detallas. There are several immersion schools there - just for that purpose. San Miguel de Allende, Guadalajara and Guanajuato.

Above all, to learn Spanish, you should live in a bordertown, its not anything like the real Mexico, but its Americanized enough where you wont get swamped with culture and you can still communicate in english if you need to.
