Students in Costa Rica
You’ll study Spanish at a private language institute in outdoor classrooms surrounded by tropical flowers and fruit trees. Whatever your level — from no Spanish to advanced Spanish majors — the institute will create a class for you, with instructors who specialize in teaching Spanish to non-native speakers. You’ll go on many excursions throughout Costa Rica.
To enrich the language learning experience and take full advantage of the culture, you will be housed with a carefully selected host family. This gives you the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the Costa Rican way of life and typical traditions.
