Learning Spanish Program - Costa Rica

Discover the beauty of Costa Rica while mastering the Spanish language with our comprehensive language programs. Our offerings cater to both beginners and advanced learners, providing a unique opportunity for volunteers to enhance their language skills.

FIRST HAND SPANISH COURSE: Intensive Learning

Are you passionate about language learning and eager for a deep dive into Spanish? Our First Hand Spanish Course is designed for language enthusiasts who crave immersive learning experiences. We provide intensive classes for beginners, intermediate, and advanced learners, with options for private one-on-one sessions or small groups of 2-3 people. Expect 2 hours of focused learning each day, along with ample homework and self-study materials.

The beauty of this program is its flexibility. You can easily fit it into your school schedule, allowing you to learn Spanish alongside your academic commitments. However, please note that it's not possible to combine this course with other First Hand projects – plan this time separately. For volunteers seeking a well-rounded language experience, we recommend exploring the cooperating language school option (see below).

COOPERATING LANGUAGE SCHOOL: A Classic Language Experience

For those who prefer a more traditional language school setting, our cooperating language school offers an exceptional learning environment. Located in a picturesque beach campus or near the capital, these classes provide 4 hours of daily instruction, alternating between morning and afternoon sessions.

Beyond language lessons, you'll have the opportunity to participate in enriching activities like cooking classes, dance lessons, movie nights, yoga, and exciting excursions. It's a perfect choice for those volunteers who wish to focus on language acquisition and want to explore Costa Rica at their own pace.

Please keep in mind that the cooperating language school program cannot be combined with any of our First Hand projects. If you decide to enroll in this option, plan your schedule accordingly, as it requires dedicated time separate from other volunteer opportunities.

Embark on your Costa Rican adventure, explore the language and culture, and make a positive impact with our language programs. Whether you choose the First Hand Spanish Course or the cooperating language school, you're guaranteed an unforgettable learning experience in the heart of Costa Rica.
