Year-round Spanish Classes

Types of programs in San Jose and Manuel Antonio

COSI offers mini group classes, private tutoring, or a combination of mini group and private tutoring.

Learn Spanish in small groups in a relaxed setting Students meet for four hours from Monday through Friday in mini groups of eight students or less. The school assigns classes either in the morning (8-12) or in the afternoon (1- 5) according to the student's level. During most of the year classes take place in the mornings. Groups may be divided whenever a student demonstrates a different pace of learning.

Learn Spanish with a teacher concentrating solely on your specific needs One-on-one instruction is designed especially for people who want to advance at their own pace, work on specific vocabulary, have special needs or who have limited time. We recommend this program for students who are taking classes for only one week. These classes take place according to the student's preference, in the morning from 8 AM to 12 noon or in the afternoon from 1 to 5 PM.

Mini group 4 hours + 2 hours private tutor a day

Principles of COSI classes

	There are two ten-minute breaks between classes in which students and teachers enjoy coffee, juice, fruit and other snacks.
	Classes emphasize oral communication to achieve specific goals.
	Teachers are rotated every week to ensure that the student is exposed to a variety of Spanish accents.
	The pace of the class is set according to the student's language skill development progress.
