Lonely Planet - Costa Rica Hang ten in this peaceful oasis: the local wildlife highly recommend it.

Mention Costa Rica and people think paradise. The country's Disneylike cast of creatures — ranging from howler monkeys to toucans — are populous and relatively easy to spot. The waves are prime, the beauty is staggering and the sluggish pace seductive.

Vamos a Platicar I


This Thursday May 17th we'll start the Spanish Lessons: Vamos a Platicar I.
These lessons are for beginners.
You can start your private Spanish lessons any time after May 17th. Schedules are very flexible. Lessons are also available for couples and groups of three or more students.
I do not follow one specific text book - printed materials are given to students at beginning and end of each lesson. Our main focus is on conversation, practicing real-life conversation excercises. Yes, we will study the fundamental Spanish structure (grammar). Lessons are adapted to student's own interests and motivations for learning the language. After all, learning Spanish must be enjoyable.
All you need is a good Spanish-English dictionary, a pen and a notebook.
Email me for more information on schedules, location and rates.
Hasta Luego
