Study Spanish in Costa Rica

If you’re eager to travel and learn Spanish at the same time, this language course is ideal for you. You’ll get to practice your Spanish while exploring the city and interacting with native speakers.

Whether you’re looking to improve your Spanish or you’re a complete beginner, this project will be tailored to your level. You don’t need to worry about having to keep up with a class.

You can study full-time before starting a project, or study part-time while you volunteer or intern, so you can learn while volunteering.

This is a flexible project that is available all year round, from a minimum of one week. However, we recommend staying longer to hone your skills as much as possible.

This project aims to help you improve your Spanish language skills through personalised lessons and immersive learning.

It is also a brilliant opportunity for cultural exchange. Through immersing yourself in the language and interacting with your host family as well as locals, you’ll learn about the culture and way of life. You’ll leave with an understanding of traditions and practices different to those of your home country.

If you choose to combine your language course with one of our other projects, you will also become part of our ongoing efforts to support local communities. For example, if you work on a Childcare Project, you will help children with early childhood development, and teach English. Or you can help primary school children improve their language skills by teaching English.

This project will leave you with an increased knowledge of Spanish and a marked improvement in both your grammar and conversational skills.

Join us, study Spanish in Costa Rica, and improve your language skills in this beautiful country.

Most days will begin with breakfast at your host home. This is a great opportunity for you to practice your Spanish and get to know your host family at the same time. All classes run from Monday to Friday. You’ll have evenings and weekends to explore with other Projects Abroad volunteers and interns.

The structure of your day will depend on whether you choose to do a standalone Spanish Language Course, or combine your studies with a project through our add-on options.

If you study full-time, you’ll have around 15 hours of classes per week. You can choose to have your classes in the mornings or afternoons. If you’re combining your language studies with a project, your mornings will be committed to project work, whereas your classes will left for the afternoons and evenings.
