Muy buena
You're at this site? Look no further, amiga/o! This school will probably be as perfect for you as it was for me. The teachers and the Director are all lovely, highly competent, and can work with you at what ever level you're at. Oh, and if you like pristine beaches, great sunsets, and a range of restaurants and bars, you can't beat San Juan del Sur. Go for it!
Wow,as I'm sure you can see, there are quite a few Spanish schools in SJDS! It's a bit difficult to settle on the right one. I was looking for help in brushing up my conversational Spanish to eventually reach a goal of professional fluency. After visiting a few, I eventually settled on Spanish Ya, after visiting the premises, talking to the owner and reading reviews. A good decision it sure was. I lucked out with a great teacher - Dinorah was quite experienced, patient and well-versed in basic pedagogy. None of the teachers know much English but Dinorah's was quite sufficient for me, esp since I already knew some Spanish. I suggest that you brush up on basic grammar before you show up - for example, it'd help you if you knew the difference between perfect / imperfect object pronouns, or what are participles for example?
Another point to add is that no matter how good your teacher is, 3 hour 1-on-1 daily lessons everyday is too much for almost everybody. I'd have preferred to have spaced out my lessons as much as possible to allow for greater time for practice and review. But alas, I was only there for a short period.
Finally, I tried to find a reason to award less than 5 stars but simply couldn't! Their skill and dedication calls for maximum appreciation!
I had an excellent experience here. Learned a ton of Spanish, good food and surf, friendly people.
Gente muy amable con gran capacidad de ensenanza
