Learn Spanish on the Beach in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

Hi,

I`m Anni from Germany. I spent two weeks in Costa Rica to learn Spanish at Maximo Nivel. The first week I was in Quepos and attendet the Cosi Maximo Nivel School in Manuel Antonio. I really enjoyed my time! After clsses I went to the beautiful beaches to relax. The organisation at the school was great. In my second week I was in the capitel of Costa Rica, in San Jose. It`s a very interesting city! I learned a lot in my Spanish classes. After school I visited downtown and learned about the Costa Rican coffee production, which was very interesting! The school organized everything very well. I also liked my accomodation - I stayed at a very nice Costa Rican family.
I recommend to learn Spanish at Maximo Nivel!

Yo estoy feliz que haya decidido tomar clases en máximo nivel. Aprendi mas en dos semanas de lo que jamas hubiera aprendido.
La clases estaban adecuadas a las habilidades de los esudiantese y hizo que la comunicacion con mi familia adoptiva fuera mucho mejor.

I am glad I decided to take classes through Miximo Nivel. I learned more in two weeksthan I thought possible. The classes were tailored to the students abilities and made it possible for me to communicate with my host family and at my volunteer site.

I loved it here! The teachers are great. They love what the do and are very helpful. Not many students attend here, so students can get a lot of help with whatever they need. They have several different free activities you outside of classes. I stayed with a host family and I loved the experience. My mom here was very helpful and loved to cook for us.
I learned a lot and fell in love with the people that live here.
I highly recommend!

The experience was so amazing that I added a 4th week of lessons! Karen and Celeste are exemplary professionals and keep the school running smoothly. They're always willing to answer questions or provide help. Darlene keeps the schol spotless and makes sure there's always coffee and tea. My instructors were patient and so very helpful and encouraging. I enjoyed Carlos and Shirley but I especially adore Alexandra!! She is an excellent teacher!!!
I would love to return for more!

I really enjoyed my time in Manual Antonio. My host family Mayela's house was amazing and I really enjoyed her and her family. The school was very helpful in every way they could be. I would have liked to receive more information about where I was staying before I got there. I didn't received that until after I was living there. Other then that my experience was really great. There were a lot of great people and I learned a lot of Spanish and about the Costa Rican culture. Thanks for everything!!

I spent 1 week learning Spanish and teaching English. I took the 4 hour Spanish course and taught English for 2 hours.

The entire time there was a great experience. The Spanish teacher (Ana) was patient, easy to follow, and helpful. The class sizes are small. The program significantly improved my ability to understand the language when others are speaking.

Teaching English was great, as well. The students are highly motivated, which is satisfying.

The program is great and I will do it again.

I spent 6 weeks in Costa Rica through COSI-Maximo Nivel in a Spanish immersion program. It was my first time outside of the United States and I couldn't have had a better experience. The teachers at COSI were amazing and extremely patient which was important to me because my Spanish was at the beginner level. The staff and teachers were very flexible and allowed us to add more activities to the curriculum that we felt would benefit our learning process. The staff were always available whenever I needed them and made sure everything went smoothly. There were extracurriculars such as cooking classes, soccer games, and salsa every Monday. My host family situation was organized as well and my host mom always made sure I had everything I needed. I met a lot of great people and made some awesome memories and I have this program to thank!

I took 3 spanish courses at Maximo Nivel in San Jose and it was an amazing experience. The staff is extremely helpful, my host family was amazing, and I got so much better at Spanish! There are also activities put on weekly and it is a very easy place to meet other students or volunteers. The location is wonderful, and there is a travel agency right next door that can provide excursions, bus tickets, etc. Highly recommend!!
