At Rancho de Español we use the Communicative Method for teaching Spanish. This method emphasises conversation without neglecting grammar.  We feel that some teaching of grammar is important to help each student ultimately communicate effectively in Spanish. We try to make learning grammar fun. The Communicative Method introduces students little by little to Spanish grammar while reinforcing it with examples and conversation. 

All our teachers are native Costa Rican. We place an emphasis on speaking Spanish as much as possible.  Some of the teaching aids we use are audio-visual materials such as flash cards, posters, audi-tapes, videos, newspaper articles as well as discussion groups. We use articles and discuss current events and cultural activities in order to provide an opportunity for students to broaden their vocabulary and exposure to Spanish as spoken in day-to-day life.  

Rancho de Español is located in La Guácima de Alajuela, a small village 18 miles northwest of San José, capital of the country, and about ten minutes away from the international airport, Juan Santamaría. In this authentic town, people speak only Spanish, the families preserve the real “tico” lifestyle and enjoy hosting foreigners. Most of these families are related to each other which permits our students to interact with more than one host family.

Rancho de Español has a spacious, park-like campus with a swimming pool which offers a relaxing atmosphere.  Students can combine classes with swimming, playing soccer, basketball or volleyball, or resting under the shade of a tree.
 Classes are often held in open-air classrooms surrounded by beautiful gardens and a wide variety of trees, flowers, birds and other animals.

This program has been designed, especially for those who teach Spanish as a second language.
The program consist of grammar workshops, here we will cover various subjects, depending on the concerns that participants may have,
we will also review subjects we have knowledge of but somehow became a headache for the majority of people who speak Spanish as a second language.

Now you can study medical terminology in spanish, so you can provide better care for your patients. We offer specialized "medical Spanish" courses teaching conversational language and intercultural skills
targeted specifically for the caregiving environment.
The course also arranges volunteer work in local clinics and hospitals where you will be able to practice while you learn.
