Spanish learning Day-to-Day Methodology
Students discuss a new topic every day. Learning will be focused on that specific subject that day. It will be developed by following different teaching methods. For example:

“The first Thursday on the first week, the topic will be Rainforest and Biodiversity. Therefore, the students will be actually taken to a rainforest. There, the teacher will provide them with the pertinent vocabulary and information. Then, students will put their Spanish into practice by doing some field research on Biodiversity in Costa Rica. To get the information, they will have to ask questions, read information, and talk to people in Spanish.

Spanish in the Classroom
During the Program, the students will meet at The Spanish Zone facilities for classes every day. Students will be divided in groups of not more than 4 students to practice the vocabulary related to the topic of the day.
