Conversa
Spanish Language School in Costa Rica

Learn Spanish in Costa Rica at Conversa. Conversa is one of Costa Rica’s first Spanish language schools. Founded in 1975, Conversa has been dedicated to teaching Spanish as a foreign language for over thirty years. Conversa offers two ideal locations, a six-acre campus in the mountains of Santa Ana, and an in-town school on the western end of the capital, San Jose.

Director Dave Kaufman obtained a B.A. in Spanish from Ithaca College and began his Spanish language teaching career as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Dominican Republic. He served as Spanish Language Coordinator for Peace Corps training programs in Puerto Rico and Costa Rica before obtaining an M.S. in Applied Linguistics from Georgetown University. Dave’s practical approach to learning Spanish is shared by a staff of experienced instructors.

The methodology for teaching Spanish involves forming homogeneous groups where language learning background, age and aptitude are taken into consideration. Groups are small, with a maximum of four students per instructor. Conversa offers two Spanish program models at both locations, Intensive Spanish (4 hours per day) and Super-Intensive Spanish (5 & ½ hours per day) classes.  Instructors are skilled in blending Spanish conversation and grammar to meet the individual language needs of group members.

Students range from university and college students seeking Spanish college credit to corporate executives, and from high school students to retirees. Regardless of your language and professional background, through our initial testing process, you will be placed in a small group where you will be able to make good progress. Conversa regards Spanish as a tool for facilitating communication with others rather than a dry academic exercise.

Conversa’s Spanish programs are accredited by more than 150 universities and colleges in the United States by the College Consortium for International Studies (C.C.I.S.). Often these credits can transfer to organizations outside the United States. Spanish courses offered range from Elementary Spanish to Latin American Literature.
