We encourage our students to speak and interact both inside and outside of the classroom and to generally have fun. This way you can practice your Spanish in a relaxed and natural manner. You will find it enjoyable to learn and therefore you will learn faster, and with less effort. While you are practicing your Spanish you will also be making friends.

Spanish Courses
Our teachers have designed a Spanish curriculum that is suited for your specific level, whether it be beginner, intermediate or advanced. Our small classes enable teachers to cater to your individual needs and give you lots of opportunity to participate, e.g. through eliciting conversations. Our teachers are enthusiastic, qualified and experienced. They provide a positive classroom environment. Their knowledge and years of experience identify them as your ideal assistants and the Spanish experts for all your questions. Intercambio Program In addition to our classes, we offer an "Intercambio" Program in the evenings. Here you can be paired with a Tico or Tica (a Costa Rican resident) for open conversation. This gives you the chance to talk and become friends with native Costa Ricans, while helping you improve your proficiency in speaking, pronunciation and listening.
