| Why Study Spanish
In The San Jose Area? |
- This part of the San Jose metro area has a small town atmosphere
yet is only minutes away from everything in San Jose.
- The city offers an excellent Spanish immersion experience.
- The city is not the major final destination for most tourists
visiting Costa Rica. This means that you will come into contact
with few tourists and therefore have more opportunity to practice
your Spanish and learn about the local culture.
- Within a 20 minute radius you will find an extensive range
of restaurants, nightclubs, and boca bars.
- The metro area is home to many colorful local markets where
you can purchase just about anything.
- Almost any location within Costa Rica is only 4 hours away
by public transportation.
- Just outside the city are many locations/destinations sure
to be of interest to even the most avid outdoor enthusiast.
