Dominical Costa Rica Real Estate For Sale

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 home stay 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 home stays. 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 negotiated your home stay in Spanish, as not all those advertising home stays 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 home stays 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 home stays that provide accommodations for the fewest number of students.

We encourage you to contact the schools below directly, in order to obtain the most compressive and current information available regarding class prices, schedules and registration procedures.
