All of our Language Courses are serious, effective and interactive. You will not only learn Spanish and Costa Rican culture at our classroom, but also at the accommodation you choose, either a Host Family or at a local Bed and Breakfast (if you want more privacy).
From years of experience, we have noticed that the most difficult stage for students is to communicate. For this reason we FOCUS on oral expression of each and every student through defined exercises, which help students lose, step by- step the fear of speaking Spanish.

Schedule: Rainy Season: starts in May and ends in October. The
characteristic of the Rainy Season is that it starts raining almost everyday after lunch time, between 12 and 2 p.m. So be prepared and bring your rain coat and umbrella. During Rainy Season, we schedule our lessons in the afternoon from 1 to 5 p.m., in order for students to visit the city or other sites in the morning, when it is sunny, and take classes in the afternoon when it starts raining. If it rains in the morning we have the flexibility to change this schedule.
