Courses and Fees

When the students arrive at the school, they are given an O.P.I. (Oral Proficiency Interview) according to the A.C.T.F.L. standards (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages).  Placements are based on the Conversational Approach, which means the students are placed according to how much they can produce orally, in small groups of no more than five students. This group size allows students to have a more intense contact with the language and a more personalized interaction with teachers and other classmates.

ACADEMIA DE ESPAŅOL D'AMORE offers six levels of Spanish proficiency to guarantee the student an appropriate placement. Students range from absolute beginners to advanced speakers of the language. The student body is typically comprised of professors, medical professionals, business leaders and students from over 35 countries. Most students participate in the month program although 2 and 3 week courses are also available. To assure the highest quality education, enrollment is limited to 35 students per month. This allows for individualized attention from the staff. Because methodology is based on the total immersion and the communicative approach, professors conduct the lessons completely in Spanish.

ACADEMIA DE ESPAŅOL D'AMORE also offers lessons on Spanish for specific purposes: Medical Spanish, Spanish for Business, Spanish for Teachers, and Spanish for Lawyers.

An additional “Gratis” Conversation Hour is also offered everyday for students to practice their conversational skills in a very fun and casual setting.

As a reinforcement of this immersion program, Academia de Espaņol D'Amore also offers free classes that incorporate the interaction of students with Costa Rican culture. These classes are more than just a bit of fun. Rather, they are another unique and memorable way to further one's Spanish skills.

Practice what you learn in these classes with “ticos and ticas” in the different dancing places of Manuel Antonio, and Quepos. Make friends and practice your Spanish while you dance and have fun.

Latin Music Classes
