Costa Rica Spanish, Surfing, Yoga and Fire Poi School in Paradise

Spanish Courses

Whether this is your first attempt to learn the language or the culmination of a lifelong quest, Costa Rica is an unbeatable place to study Spanish. “Ticos,” world famous for their spirit of life and hospitality are also well known for what’s widely agreed upon, as the “cleanest” and most understandable accent of all Spanish speaking countries. Studying in Montezuma will give you the chance to practice with the locals and improve upon your learning in a fun and supportive environment. All of our teachers are native speakers, have achieved college degrees and teach a university level curriculum to guarantee you a top of the line education.

You will receive 2 hours of classroom instruction each morning and 2 hours of applied learning each afternoon (Monday-Friday). Applied learning is where you can put your knowledge to use and reinforce what you’ve already learned. This might mean a scavenger hunt, a board game or a walk on the beach with your instructor. Many times, during your afternoon section, you will have the opportunity to use your newfound language skills with Montezuma locals in the center of town with a fun and hands on experience.

New classes begin every two weeks. Please check our "Rates and Dates" page for schedules.
