Had a fantastic month learning Spanish at the schools in Bocas del Toro and Puerto Viejo.
The teachers were brilliant, they were experienced and helped pair me up with those at a similar level. My Spanish is way way better now. There were also lots of free activities organised; bikes, kayaks, bbq, salsa, etc. Made our time there even better. Thanks a lot.

Estamos muy agradecidos por la estancia y la hospitabilidad que nos habeís ofrecido
Tanto en Bocas del Toro como en Turrialba. Spanish at Locations es sin lugar a dudas uno de los pocos lugares donde se siente uno en casa y en el paraíso!
