CRLA feels like home! What an incredible opportunity to take structured Spanish classes with a diverse curriculum, pre-test baseline and continued support to learn this beautiful language. The professors are encouraging, the office staff are helpful with any onsite/host family needs and the garden area is perfect for having a cup of coffee, studying or relaxing. Even hummingbirds fly by the classroom windows. I have also taken online classes via Skype and it feels like a “power hour” of learning. I am grateful for CRLA and the high level of language classes I received.

After experiencing 7 Spanish language schools in a variety of Spanish-speaking countries, I am a fan of CRLA, finding CRLA’s materials and teachers to be the best.

I spent two weeks at CRLA’s San Jose campus; I began CRLA on-line classes three years ago, and plan to continue.

My CRLA teachers have been well educated, gracious, and well versed in both English and Spanish grammar. The books offer accessible instruction and exercises. I look forward to my lessons and consider my instructor a friend.

I have wonderful memories of the CRLA Spanish immersion course I took with a Road Scholar group. Besides the excellent learning opportunities presented, I met many vibrant and caring people through CRLA. An added bonus was the opportunity to see some of beautiful Costa Rica firsthand. Following that excellent experience, when I returned home to Canada I registered for online classes. The teachers I had were very professional and tailored classes to suit my needs. As a result of this one-on-one online learning experience, I feel much more confident communicating in Spanish when I travel to Peru each year. I have a great appreciation for the quality of education offered by CRLA both onsite and online and I would recommend the experience to others.
