Academia de Español Nicoya - Excellent Program

The Academia de Español in Costa Rica is an excellent language immersion program. I went twice to Nicoya (first in 2016, then in 2021) where I did a week long homestay and took classes each day. As a lawyer, I requested to focus on Legal Spanish and I did the extended class time. Priscilla was my main teacher and she is amazing. She's very accommodating if you have particular areas to work on and very knowledgeable. The Samara Beach program is also nice if you're looking for more of a vacation while you study. Personally I think you get more out of the homestay because you interact with the family as well and in Nicoya there isn't a lot of English spoken whereas since Samara is a beach town, English is more prevalent.
