I came to Nosara Spanish Institute after looking for a place where my family could enjoy the beach and surf while I was in Spanish classes. I have to say that any expectations I had for the school were exceeded ten-fold. My dealings with the staff before I arrived were very professional and prompt. They answered all my questions quickly and made arrangements for my arrival, making my introduction to Nosara very smooth and easy. I had a home-stay my first week, set-up by the school. It was a very comfortable and private house with incredible meals, a short and lovely walk to the school.
I attended classes for 2 weeks with 2 classes per day. I came to the school with an OK understanding of Spanish, but poor speaking ability. My instructor, Marco, was the best! I so appreciate his style of teaching; providing a great deal of instruction, interaction, and positive feedback. The classes are small and speaking Spanish is encouraged, although Marco speaks perfect English. He is passionate about language and while the classes are full-on with the Spanish speaking and learning, they are also fun. Any language school experiences I have had in the past were blown away in comparison.
The rest of the staff at NSI are very friendly and helpful and were a great resource to me during my stay in Nosara. NSI is a sweet little school in a super cool town where the quality of instruction is superior and professional. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and am already trying to find a way to return.
