Learn Spanish in Costa Rica
Flamingo beach |
Costa Rica is a wonderful location in which to learn Spanish, with an incredibly wide variety of landscapes, climates, animals and vegetation. The untouched mountain rain forests, palm-fringed Pacific and Caribbean beaches, reefs, volcanoes and jungles make this a paradise for nature lovers. Our schools offer Spanish language courses throughout the year, in Flamingo Beach, Monteverde Mountain Rain Forest and in San Joaquin de Flores.
Learning Spanish in Costa Rica offers students a truly unique experience. Students on Spanish courses at our three schools learn Spanish in small groups, with fully-qualified native Costa Rican tutors. The schools also organise an extensive activities program, consisting of activities, visits and excursions, scuba diving, turtle watching trips, beach barbeques and many more! This cultural program helps students to explore Costa Rica, enjoy themselves and also learn about life and nature in Costa Rica. It also helps students to meet Costa Ricans and practise the Spanish that they learn on their Spanish course, thus enabling students to learn as much Spanish as possible in the time available to them.
