Dear
Students,
Universal
de Idiomas is one of the finest institutions in Costa Rica where
you can learn Spanish, experience the culture and make life-long
friends. You are sure to have an unforgettable experience while
attending Universal de Idiomas. This is one reason why previous
students have enjoyed our programs so much. Our homestay program
is one of the best around because of our administration's expertise
in matching the right student to the right family. Many have expressed
their gratitude for such an unforgettable experience with their
families because the main part of learning the culture is living
with host families.
At
our institution, students get the most out of their classes, no
matter what their level. Placement exams are given at the beginning
of each session to assist us in placing students in the appropriate
class so that time is well spent on learning. Our institution also
helps coordinate trips so that you can travel outside of San José
and enjoy the beaches, rain forests, wildlife and cultural aspects
of Costa Rica.
The
fact that our groups are small and our teachers are culturally well-prepared
allowing Universal’s Spanish group courses to be suitable
for people from all walks of life, such as: medical personnel-nurses,
doctors, missionaries, Spanish teachers, military officers, flight
attendants, university students, professors, airline personnel,
businessmen, paralegal personnel and lawyers. A good command of
Spanish plays an important role in these daily routines. Our school
is well equipped with books and audiovisual material to help our
teachers tailor their lessons according to the specific needs of
each student in these specialized fields of Spanish.
At
Universal de Idiomas we care about our student's wants and needs.
We want our students to have an enjoyable and memorable time in
Costa Rica and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Vilma de Castro
Director
