Sámara Beach

Learn Spanish in Sámara Beach, a tropical paradise where incredibly clear, tempting waters meet soft white sands. There could be no better place to relax after your Spanish lessons at our school! This beautiful bay is also perfect for windsurfing, snorkelling and scuba diving - meet Costa Rica’s exotic marine life up close! Explore further inland and you’ll find an extraordinary diversity of landscapes and animals, from rain forests full of flamboyant birds to pristine lagoons where rare manatees and turtles swim. You’ll also find the town of Nicoya close by, which is a fascinating mixture of indigenous and colonial influences.

Studying at our Sámara Beach school, in a maximum class size of just six students, your Spanish will soon improve! Costa Ricans are famed for their friendliness, and the locals will be more than happy to help you practice your Spanish!

Courses in Sámara Beach

Available courses

    The Standard Spanish Course in Sámara Beach offers you 20 Spanish lessons each week, giving you plenty of personal time with your teachers.

This course combines group lessons with one-to-one sessions, in which you can concentrate on your own particular needs.

Our school can arrange volunteering opportunities in areas such as animal care, paramedic work, English tuition, social work, conservation and radio production, to name but a few.

      The teachers were all really fun and they used lots of different learning methods….games, interviews, 'who am I?', etc. The course was totally in Spanish, with a small group of other students. The host family I stayed with were great. My room way clean, cool and had a desk to work at. My meals were all good, lots of variety. They were friendly and only spoke Spanish which helped me practice.
