I learned so much in my week at Nosara Spanish Institute! Alvaro is an amazing teacher who really helped me to advance my Spanish grammar, learn new vocabulary, and understand the areas I need to work on to improve my fluency. It was well worth my time and money to do the week intensive and I am definitely considering coming back. And it was fun! The two hours flew by every day and there was a lot of laughing along with learning! And Nosara is such a beautiful place with lots of outdoor/ocean activities that can't be beat.

I travelled with my two teenage daughters. Our experience at the Spanish Institute was absolutely exceptional. From the very beginning, Brock, the founder, went above and beyond to make everything seamless and stress-free. He was incredibly helpful with every detail—from arranging our airport transportation to booking tours. The tours were great, and I highly recommend. The lessons themselves were outstanding. Alexa, our teacher, was phenomenal—engaging, patient, and incredibly skilled at making learning both fun and effective. She created such a supportive environment, and we felt our Spanish improve every single day. This was more than just a language program—it was a memorable, enriching experience. We can’t wait to come back!

2week group class I had Prof Alejandro for the 2 weeks . He is a very patient and wonderful teacher, full of fun and cultural stories. Since it was the week before Semana Santa , it was a slow time, and I only had another classmate. The first week we reviewed the futuro and subjuntivo tenses. We worked on reading and writing and conversation. The second week was the best for me, since we worked on reading, and conversation about Costa Rica culture , birds and animals. Everything was great fun with a field trip to explore Nosará and NSC Sendoros Big shoutouts to Broc, Catheryn and Alexa who went above and beyond to make my stay at the Hacienda and Nosara, very comfortable.. Muchas gracias a todos por ser muy amables, positivos y divertidos. Les agrezdeco mucho

This is a brilliant setting, and the atmosphere is genuinely welcoming. The staff are engaged and clearly care about their students. Well done.

I had a great experience studying at the Nosara Spanish Institute for 6 weeks. The teachers were great and I met a lot of really interesting people from different countries with different life experiences. Living in the school owned house was an important part of the experience for me. I highly recommend the Institute for anyone who wants to spend time in Costa Rica and is serious about progressing their language skills.
