We provide you with an unforgettable experience designed to
help you master the Spanish language and integrate quickly
into Latin American culture.
Our instructors are highly trained and motivated teachers
who tailor their knowledge of Spanish to suit your individual
needs.
Small group sizes allow individualized attention for every
student. Groups usually consist of two or three students. The
maximum group size is six students.
IPED employs the "communicative
methodology" for teaching languages, providing you with the most
modern and effective way to learn and use Spanish. With the
communicative approach, you will spend approximately 80% of your
class time talking -- allowing you to become functionally
proficient much faster than with other methods of language
instruction.
IPED is the best program to learn spanish in Costa Rica
We are based in the safe and friendly town of Heredia, Costa
Rica, which is located 7 miles north of the capital, San José.
Heredia is only 25 minutes by bus from San José, and is
perfectly located for exploration of Costa Rica's many
attractions.
Our homestay program helps you learn to use your developing
skills in real life situations in addition to exposing you to
Costa Rican culture. Our students often tell us that the
homestay with their Costa Rican family has been the most
rewarding part of their experience at IPED.
