Description

Nosara Spanish Institute offers a structured weekly program on an ongoing basis. With small groups, university certified Spanish teachers, and comfortable facilities; we provide everything needed to maximize your learning experience.

We use a communicative teaching methodology, where the main goal is the improvement of the student's communication skills, encouraging spontaneous and creative use of the language, using real communicative situations and activities that teach Spanish in the way we really use it.
