Thank you for your interest in Pura Vida Language Institute. We are very proud of our new school and look forward to meeting you in our home. As we say in Costa Rica , "mi casa es su casa", my house is your house, and we mean it. We want you to have a memorable experience with us - and to learn as much as possible. 

It is our goal to give you the tools to communicate effectively with Spanish speaking people from around the world - in a variety of situations. If you have a special focus, please let us know and we will provide special vocabularies and other assistance.

From a cultural perspective, learning to speak Spanish - is like opening the door to an exciting new world. We will do our best to assist you in opening that door.

Our program will help you progress from simple "Survival Spanish" to the vocabulary and grammatical structures needed to express more complicated and abstract ideas. Because our class size is kept small (maximum 6 students) you learn at a rapid pace. 

You will have the opportunity to meet many Spanish speaking Costa Ricans in your neighborhood, at the institute and at local businesses and shops.

We hope you will make many friends while you are here and will consider this your second home.
