Spend two focused, relaxing weeks learning Spanish in Nosara, Costa Rica. This program is designed for adults at every level, from A1 to C2, and combines practical communication with the relaxed rhythm of Playa Guiones in the Nicoya Peninsula Blue Zone. You’ll learn in a supportive small-group setting and use Spanish in real situations from the moment you arrive.

WHAT 10 HOURS MEANS

Your program includes 10 hours of small-group Spanish instruction per week, Monday through Friday—20 hours total over two weeks. We place you by level using a placement test and a short oral assessment on the first Monday, so your lessons are relevant and comfortable.

Classes are most often scheduled from 8:00–9:40am or 1:00–2:40pm. Please note that we cannot guarantee specific time slots for group classes, but we’ll do our best to match your preference.

CHOOSE YOUR ACCOMMODATION

During booking, you can choose between two accommodation options: a welcoming homestay with a local family or a private room at the NSI Student Residence. Both options offer a comfortable home base to supplement classes, allowing you to select the experience that best fits your preferences. Accommodation is subject to availability.

BUILD YOUR TWO WEEKS

Between classes and across your two weeks, explore Nosara’s beaches, wellness, wildlife and local life at your own pace. Add a surf or yoga experience to your reservation, or simply enjoy time to practice Spanish around town.

AFTER YOU BOOK

We’ll email you with the next steps, including our placement process and an arrival form to help us prepare for your stay. Before classes begin, we’ll confirm your Spanish level and provide your class schedule.

At NSI, our communicative approach prioritizes confidence, conversation and creative real-world activities. We help you use Spanish the way it is really spoken, with thoughtful guidance and a warm community throughout your two-week stay.
