Learn Spanish in
Costa Rica
Spanish
Language Schools in Manuel Antonio Quepos.
Costa Rica's
language and spanish schools offer a multitude of options for
those who wish to learn Spanish, or brush up on their Spanish
speaking skills. Programs vary tremendously, depending on your
skill level, time of stay, and budget. Classes range from two
day "survival courses" to semester long programs. For
most tourists visiting Costa Rica, one or two week classes are
the most common. Students or tourists planning an extended stay
might opt for a longer, more intensive program.
For those
whose budget and time allow, a homestay with a Costa Rican family
might be an attractive alternative. These programs can be arranged
through your language school, and usually require a minimum stay.
Several tourist magazines contain classified sections which list
privately advertised homestays. These offerings, while a bit less
expensive, might not provide the same level of service, or care
as those arranged through your school. Also, be prepared to negociate
your homestay in Spanish, as not all those advertising homestays
will be able to speak with you in your language.
Living with
a Costa Rican family will provide you with an opportunity to speak
the Spanish language, as well as acquire a greater understanding
for Costa Rican culture and lifestyles. These homestays are not
cheap, but normally accommodations, meals, and laundry services
are included. Also, it is not uncommon to find your self sharing
a home with several other students; sometimes as many as four.
This we do not recommend, as the presence of other students, more
often than not, will only prevent you from learning Spanish. All
to often you will find yourself speaking your native tongue. We
suggest homestays that provide accommodations for the fewest number
of students.
We encourage
you to contact the schools directly, in order to obtain the most
comprensive and current information available regarding class
prices, schedules and registration procedures.
