About this trip


Living with a local Costa Rican family is an excellent way to learn a lot of Spanish in a short amount of time. Families are located in the nearby villages in Nosara, Playa Garza and Esperanza. Host family students are given a private room as well as half board (daily breakfast and dinner) and laundry service is included in the price of the host family. Families are hand selected by the accommodation staff and are very accustomed to hosting students from around the world. Students should be prepared to live in simpler and more rustic homes than at home. If that doesn’t bother you, then you will be rewarded with a memorable experience and some new Tico friends. Please indicate any allergies or special needs.


Check in for your Homestay is on Sunday and check out is Sunday.

Classes are Monday thru Friday.


At NSI we use a communicative teaching methodology, where the main goal is the improvement of the students' communication skills, encouraging spontaneous and creative use of the language, using real communicative situations and activities that teach Spanish in the way we really use it.

Reviews

We loved everything about NSI and our homestay experience. Could not recommend highly enough! The setup at NSI was great - Alejandro was an amazing teacher balancing the curriculum with spontaneous conversations to keep everyone engaged. Our class was small with only 3 of us so it felt highly personalised. Everyone at the school was welcoming and really committed to improving everyone’s Spanish skills. There was a good amount of social opportunities too with an intercambio and salsa classes in the evening. Our homestay host, Maria was incredible. Her home was comfortable - she gave us our own space but was also happy to chat in English and Spanish. Maria’s cooking was restaurant quality with a huge variety of meals - cerviche, meats, fish and plenty of fresh fruit and veg. Maria is a surf instructor so also took us out for a lesson on one of the days which was a highlight. We loved our time in Nosara. Anyone thinking about signing up with NSI should do it - you won’t regret it!

I loved the fact that all of the classes focused on speaking and becoming more comfortable conversing in Spanish, rather than just reading, writing, and learning grammar. While the teachers still taught us those aspects, too, the focus was more practical. Also, the teachers made it so fun to learn that the class time flies by! The activities outside of class allowed us to learn about Costa Rican culture and history, while also giving us an opportunity to get to know the teachers and other students better. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I look forward to taking future classes!
