Learn Spanish on the Beach in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

My time at Maximo Nivel, San Jose and Manuel Antonio, was one of the greatest experiences i have had out of the country. The program is well organized, and the teachers are excellent. Maximo is always there when you need them, and they really make sure your stay is as comfortable as it can get. The staff is very knowledgeable about the local areas. You never have the fear that something may go wrong with maximo, they always make sure everything runs smoothly. I spend two weeks in Costa Rica, with a program they host called Spanish camp, i have learned more Spanish in these two weeks, then a year of lessons prior.

The month I have spent in Costa Rica with Maximo Nivel has been the best experience of my life. I have been emursed into the culture of the country and significantly improved my Spanish speaking skills. The activities were all amazing, unique and friendship building. The relationships I have formed here has improved my life and I will forever be thankful to Maximo for that. I would definitely recommend traveling with Maximo Nivel

I took Spanish courses with Maximo Nivel in San Jose, Costa Rica for 6 weeks this summer and loved my time there. My language professors were great, which allowed me to improve more than I anticipated. I also was extremely impressed with the educational staff's ability and willingness to hear how classes are going for you, what you want to get out of them, and adapt within reason to make your experience better.
My home stay living situation was perfect for me. This is tougher to review because it will be different based on every family and each student is looking for and/or needs a different environment, but I do believe that Maximo Nivel does a quality job selecting host families and matching students with them.
The Maximo Nivel staff is so friendly and welcoming that I was sad saying goodbye to them at the end of the program. They care about you and your time in Costa Rica, work hard to do anything they can to help you, and always have a smile on their faces. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful of a team they have working together, and that will have a positive impact on your experience.
Also, Maximo offers some free events that are fun and a great way to learn new things and meet new people. We played soccer with other students and staff a few times, had a cooking lesson, and had salsa dancing classes every Monday night.
If you want to learn and practice Spanish, visiting Maximo Nivel in San Jose is a great way to do it!

I studied Spanish at Intermediate Level at COSI/Maximo Nivel in Manuel Antonio for two weeks.
I had a great time, the teachers give exellent classes and I made a lot of progress during this week. My experience was complemented by a fantastic Host Family. There was plenty of delicious food and a comfortable room with en-suite bathroom.
During free time, the beaches and the national park of Manual Antonio is very close and easily accessible by bus.
I can definitely recommend this school.

I had such a great time! Hope to be back soon! Btw, the food here in CR is really good! :) also I had the best teacher in the whole world, wich is Ana!! And I made wonderful friends as Chino and Ilda! I will never forget none of them! The experience of living the ''pura vida'' life was the most intense experience of my life. I'm grateful! Y con todo el español que aprendí aquí, yo pude practicar en otros lugares y me di cuenta como lo desarrolle en 3 meses!!!!!!!!!!!

Si quieres aprender el idioma español de manera animada, tal y como se habla en la vida cotidiana, es la mejor manera! Los profesores de idiomas - todos hablantes nativos - son muy competentes. Y también fuera de enseñanza sofisticada, encontrarás una gran oportunidad para escuchar a español y hablar. Por ejemplo en la familia local, donde se está muy bien situado. ¡Más auténtico no se puede experimentar una cultura extranjera!

Maximo Nivel has been a great time while I have been able to find myself. The instructor, students, staff, and fellow classmates make this course much easier to deal with and excel in. I am forever grateful for being able to come here and learn as much as I have. I would recommend 10/10 times to come to Costa Rica for this course because it is such a gorgeous area and it exceeded my expectations.

this was an amazing experience, i would love to come again. everything was amazing and comfortable. the area is safe and beautiful. there is amazing people who i am more than happy to know. I learned so much like foreign money, different cultures and the way of like for others. i decently recommend this trip to anyone and everyone who wants to see the world. it helps with so many thing just to acutely see the world around you.
