Spanish Courses in Tamarindo, Costa Rica

We currently have 9 different levels of Spanish courses, all of which are taught in Spanish. The maximum class size is 6 people per class.

There are various types of Spanish language courses which include:

  • Standard Intensive Spanish language courses: Composed of a a combination of conversational grammar and practical conversation and/or lectures.

  • Super Intensive Spanish language course: The perfect Spanish program for someone who prefers a more intensive course. The format is the same as the Standard Program. The difference is that under this option you will receive an additional 2 hours per day of instruction in the afternoon. Courses are held from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

  • Individual Spanish language courses: If you have little time available or prefer something very intensive, then please consider taking private courses. If you are taking a group class and would like to add a few hours per day to your class this is also possible.

  • Spanish language + Surfing Classes!: This course follows the same program as the standard Intensive Spanish course in the mornings. Surf Portion: Surf board rental is included in the cost of the program. The first 2 weeks you will receive (in addition to the board rental) 6 hours of surf instruction.
