Language Programs in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico language schools are based in San Juan, PR’s fantastic capital city. But do plan some weekend trips to explore the island’s natural wonders.

San Juan is the perfect backdrop for language courses in Puerto Rico. When class is over, you’ll be marveling at the great stone forts that have surrounded the city since 1521. San Juan enchants you not only for its antiquities but also for its contemporary art scene. Scope out the street art and shimmy to the salsa music that has characterized the island for decades. 

Need your sea legs? Go to Culebra to snorkel through the corals of Playa Flamenco, one of the top-rated beaches in the world. Then wander the beach, and practice your Spanish with a local food vendor. Ask for a mofongo, the mashed plantain bowl filled with fish or meat. Don’t forget to say muchas gracias!

A serenade from the coquis is a key part of language learning abroad in Puerto Rico. These adorable little frogs have a surprisingly powerful voice, and they love to sing in El Yunque, Puerto Rico’s beloved tropical forest. El Yunque is a forested paradise great for hiking, plus a much-needed escape from the city.
