Most recent student reviews of language schools in Tamarindo Beach
The professors were fantastic, and the school generously moved other students and classes around to place me at a different level when the class I was initially placed in didn't seem to be at the right level. I really, really enjoyed Professor Raul, who was my main professor during my course at Wayra. He is smart, interesting, funny, and kind. Learning from him was a highlight of my stay in Costa Rica.
The monkeys were a real bonus! So amazing. Also, don't forget to bring mosquito spray while at the school — the mosquitos are no joke.

The school has a very open atmosphere. I really like these open classrooms. The interaction between teachers and us students was also very warm and open.

The lodging was very nice.
I was there for 2 weeks and didn't get to choose whether I wanted afternoons or mornings. They choose that for you. The teacher that I had the first week was really patient, spoke clearly and had clear instructions. However the 2nd week with teacher Alex, I wasn't able to understand him as he spoke quickly and too loud. He was less clear and I was generally anxious in that class. If I choose WAYRA next time, it won't be in Tamarindo.

Course: Standard Course - 2 weeks
Student age: 59 years
The school is very organized and serious. There is a system of daily assessment for students and weekly assessment for teachers.
The only downside, the school has mainly Swiss and this information was not well reflected on your site. Being Swiss myself I prefer to mix with other nationalities when I travel and I was unpleasantly surprised because it was part of my search criteria to make my choice of destination and schools on your site. Nevertheless the school was really good so I went over.

Q&A - Questions about Spanish courses and schools in Tamarindo Beach
- I am interested in taking two weeks of Spanish classes in Costa Rica. I used to be quite fluent in Spanish, but have not spoken daily in 35 years. Suggestions?“In Tamarindo Beach, you can attend Group lessons or private lessons.
For group lessons, the Standard Course with 20 lessons per week is the most popular choice. The course was designed for people that want to learn rapidly and want to improve their communication skills. If you feel that 20 lessons per week in a group of students of mixed ages can be too intense, you can book private lessons if you prefer.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 21, 2022FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Spanish courses in Tamarindo Beach
- Would you advise me to bring dollars or colones and how much? Is it easy to withdraw cash from the ATM in the village?“The students can always bring some Colones with them for emergencies, but we recommend our students to not bring too much cash with them and make sure they have a card.
The expected weekly expenses with food, transport, and free time are USD 150 ~USD 250.”Rossella Reale, Sales & Admissions from EF International Language - Oct 19, 2022Didn't find what you are looking for?Interested in a specific type of course?
