Spanish classes at the Costa Rican Language Academy can either be taken in conjunction with one of our Homestay Programs or on an hourly basis.

Many students prefer one of our Homestay Programs. The Homestays include a regular schedule of Spanish lessons and lodging with a Costa Rican family.

Your Costa Rican family provides you with breakfast, dinner, and laundry service. Our families are carefully selected for their friendliness and warmth. They all offer clean lodging in safe neighborhoods.

Homestay Programs are an excellent way to immerse yourself in the Costa Rican culture. As part of the family, you practice speaking Spanish every day and learn first-hand about the Costa Rican way of life.

You can stay with a family for a minimum of one week or as long as you would like.
