The official language in Belize is English because the country used to be part of the British Empire. This is often seen as controversial today, but the official language English and the British jurisdiction are a great advantage for Belize. It is the only country in Central and South America that offers these advantages.

Malicious tongues claim that the most spoken language in the world is “bad English”. Since Belize is a multicultural country, you can communicate freely with hands, feet and English at any level.

The people in Belize are very open, warm and friendly. So you can easily make yourself understood everywhere and get to know people. Sarteneja is located in the Corozal District, which borders Mexico. So you can also learn Spanish, which keeps your brain active and creates a nice vacation feeling.

For language enthusiasts, of course, the Mayan language is also an option. They populated the region around Sarteneja very early and stocked up on fresh water here. It is said that the Maya called the place “Tzaten-a-ha”. This means “give me water”, other sources say it means “water between the stones”. Anyway, the Spanish had a lot of trouble with the pronunciation and made it “Sarteneja”. A peaceful place full of nice people who are looking forward to a conversation with you.
