Spend three 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 practice 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 20 HOURS MEANS

Your program includes 20 hours per week of small-group Spanish instruction, Monday–Friday, for 60 hours total over three 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.

The 20-hour program is most often scheduled from 8:00–11:40 a.m. or 1:00–4:40 p.m. This still leaves plenty of time for surfing, yoga, remote work, or exploring Nosara.

**Please note that we are not able guarantee specific time slots for group classes but we'll do our best to match your preference.

BUILD YOUR THREE WEEKS

Between classes, 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 creativity. Your classes take place at Nosara Spanish Institute, where communicative learning and the relaxed pace of Nosara help you make lasting progress.
