Spanish Courses
The Spanish Programme at IH Costa Rica offers courses in general Spanish from beginners to advanced. Uniquely, it also offers tailor-made, language-specific courses for professionals in their chosen field.
To assure personalised attention for every student, groups are small. Tutorials are also available, one-to-one and two-to-one.
A feature of IH Costa Rica's Spanish Programme is the flexibility to accommodate learners' requirements outside the normal course structure.
