Spanish Courses in Alajuela
Our Partner School uses the most efficient program to learn Spanish, the communicative method, which emphasizes
conversation without neglecting grammar.
It is necessary to teach grammar since is such an important aspect of helping each and every student achieve greater
language skills, so that the students can communicate effectively in Spanish. It is also important that grammar must
be fun to learn in order for the students to learn easier and faster. The communicative method promoted in our classroom
introduces Spanish grammar to our students little by little, and the grammar is reinforced through live examples and
through conversation. As an added bonus, all of our teachers are native Costa Ricans.
Instruction is entirely in Spanish, and each week, a specific grammatical sequence is presented. Our instructors are
skilled in blending conversation with grammar to meet the individual needs of the group members and to make learning
grammar fun.
Some of our teachers can communicate in English as well as Spanish, but they only speak English when it becomes necessary
to translate a Spanish phrase or word. Speaking Spanish is emphasized at all times; however, there are professionals in the
school who can help with English if necessary.
Because of the school’s many years of experience, our teachers are provided with great amounts of teaching
materials that can make the process of learning Spanish easier for the foreign students. Teachers receive materials such as
bilingual flash cards, posters, audiotapes, Costa Rican newspaper articles that enhance classroom discussions, and also
a video room to enhance your Spanish knowledge. In our classrooms, newspaper articles are used to discuss current
events, cultural activities and worldwide news, all in Spanish. This exercise provides the students with an opportunity
to broaden their vocabulary and become part of a Spanish-speaking society, as in real life.
The staff at our Partner School is really serious about making your learning process and your stay successful and enjoyable.
Small, homogenous groups are formed, a maximum four students per group. Students will have a new instructor every two
weeks of the program, to give them the opportunity of listening to different accents. Frequently, they will be moved
from one group to another during the program to maintain smooth functioning and maximize individual progress.
Programs run from one week to the length of time you want, depending on your objective. If the goal is to survive in
a Spanish-speaking country, we recommend a four-week immersion course. If your goal is to speak Spanish more fluently,
then we recommend an eight- or 12-week program.
