Spend a focused, welcoming four 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. Over four weeks, you’ll learn in a supportive small-group setting and use Spanish in real situations from the moment you arrive.

WHAT 40 HOURS MEANS
Your program includes 40 hours of small-group Spanish instruction: 10 hours per week from Monday through Friday across four 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 10-hour weekly classes are most often scheduled from 8:00am–9:40am or 1:00pm–2:40pm.
**Please note that we are not able to guarantee specific time slots for group classes, but we’ll do our best to match your preference.
CHOOSE YOUR ACCOMMODATION
During booking, choose between a welcoming homestay with a local family or a private room at the NSI Student Residence. Both offer a comfortable home base to supplement classes. Accommodation is subject to availability.
BUILD YOUR FOUR WEEKS
Across four weeks, build a balanced stay around your Spanish learning. Between classes, explore Nosara’s beaches, wellness, wildlife and local life at your own pace. Add a surf or yoga experience, or simply enjoy time to practice Spanish around town.
