Methodology

The Spanish language school follows the total immersion methodology; therefore, classes are conducted completely in Spanish, the interaction with families is completely in Spanish and the textbooks used at the school are also entirely in Spanish. All the textbooks have been designed by the school and are patented and copywritten with the Library of Congress in the United States for their uniqueness.

Each lesson in each one of the textbooks consists of four parts: "Let's get to know the culture" is an introduction to the Costa Rican or Latin American culture and introduces some of the items to be studied in vocabulary and grammar; "Let's get to learn the vocabulary" focuses in the learning of vocabulary; "Let's get to learn to grammar" analyzes and reinforces some of the grammar; and "Let's get to practice what we learned" is a general oral and written practice of what was studied in the previous sections.

Since a good amount of our students are either doctors or medical students, The Spanish school in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica also designed a textbook for Medical Spanish. In this textbook, medical students or professionals of the Medical field can learn vocabulary of the human body, illnesses, symptoms, etc.

The School also offers free conversational sessions for one hour everyday for those who want to enhance their speaking ability, and a tutorial English class for those who have difficulty with any item studied in class.
