Intensive course as educational leave

Learn Spanish in an authentic language environment in Latin America. The one to two-week basic Spanish as a foreign language course in n Coronado or Jacó (Costa Rica) is aimed at anyone who would like to attend a language course tailored to their learning needs as part of an educational vacation and get to know the culture in Costa Rica at the same time.

The course is taught by native Spanish speakers. All four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) are given equal attention. In addition, participants in the language course have the opportunity to take advantage of many different leisure activities to get to know the country's culture.

Spanish is the mother tongue of almost 400 million people and is the second most commonly learned foreign language after English.

Being in Costa Rica allows you to experience its world and culture.

Our campus in Coronado: Coronado is an authentic Costa Rican town close to the capital San José and at the foot of the Braulio Carillo National Park, a protected rainforest. Coronado is home to an untouched cloud forest and at the same time close enough to the city to be the perfect base for exploring. In San José, you can interact with other travelers, experience the Tica culture up close and enjoy the best coffee in Costa Rica. The capital's central location makes it easy to arrange expeditions, onward travel to both coasts and the country's main attractions. Our partner school in Coronado offers numerous leisure activities such as visits to the city and museums, exploring the nightlife, rainforest hikes, horseback riding, cultural markets, bird watching, rafting, music festivals and excursions to organic farms.

Our campus in Jacó: Jacó Beach is the surf-mecca of the Pacific coast. It attracts visitors with good waves all year round and spectacular nature. The unique atmosphere of this bathing and surfing paradise has attracted nature lovers, top chefs, coffee roasters, craft beer producers and ice cream vendors over the years, making Jacó a great place to live and enjoy culinary delights. Although the town attracts many tourists, the slow and relaxed Costa Rican pace of life has been preserved. The two national parks Manuel Antonio and Carara are within easy reach. Within a 20-minute radius, there are a number of extensive beaches with white and black sand, as well as smaller beaches. In addition to surfing lessons and tours, leisure activities such as zip-lining, rafting, bird watching and expeditions to waterfalls and national parks are offered here.
