AmeriSpan offers Business Spanish Programs for professionals who need to learn the language but are looking for something a little less intense than our Executive Intensive Programs. These programs offer a combination of group and private classes for optimal learning.
The group classes will cover general Spanish using the communicative method. Your private classes will be tailored to your needs and can include specialized vocabulary, exercises and specific learning materials.
Information about San Jose, Costa Rica (Click to view)
With a population of over 1/2 million, San Jose is more similar to North American cities than most Central American cities. The city offers good shopping, fine dining and an active night-life, while the city's residential area where our partner school is located offers a more quiet study environment.
Known as the Switzerland of Central America, Costa Rica has an abundance of natural beauty and is populated by a friendly, well-educated people. Costa Rica has obtained the highest standard of living in Central America by embracing democracy and disbanding its army. This small country is a paradise for nature lovers with national parks, jungles, volcanoes, beaches, and more water per square mile than any other country in the world, excluding New Zealand. However, the small pre-Columbian indigenous population was wiped out by diseases brought to the new world by the conquistadors.
Participants: The majority of the participants are students and independent travelers from 20 to 40 years old coming from North America.
Other: Our school is located at a two story building in an eastern residential area of San Jose between San Pedro and Zapote. There are 17 classrooms, a kitchen with complementary coffee, tea, bread and natural juices, a lobby, a library with audio visual materials and a small garden. Computers available for student use at a small fee and wireless internet. Capacity is 70 students per day.
