Choose from these Spanish courses in Costa Rica or Panama, if your goal is to quickly increase your skills while still having time for other activities.
If you are a beginner, these programs will get you started and form a foundation for future fluency.
Group-4 Program
This is our most popular of our Spanish courses. You will be placed in a class with students of a similar ability level. With a maximum of four students per group, your participation is assured and progress guaranteed.
Classes are given from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. with a 20-minute break at 10 a.m. During times of high enrollments, afternoon classes may be given from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. with a 20-minute break at 3 p.m.
This program offers you a lot of Spanish instruction while still allowing you enough free time for other activities.
In the rare event that we are unable to place you in a group class due to differing skill levels, we shall instead provide 3 hours of individual tutoring.
Group-4 PLUS Program
This is a combination of our Group-4 program plus 2 hours of private tutoring in the afternoon (13:00-15:00). In the afternoon classes special attention will be given to your particular needs and interests.
No new grammar structures are presented, but if you wish, old ones are reviewed. The emphasis of the afternoon class lies on improving your proficiency and extending active vocabulary.
For special interest groups, such as international aid workers, teachers, lawyers, health care professionals, therapists or company employees, afternoon private classes can be tailored according to your needs and interests.
Activities might include visits to various institutions of interest. For example, doctors and nurses can visit a major hospital and/or a private clinic, lawyers can visit a court session or meet with local lawyers, and teachers can visit a local school and/or university.
