Escuela de Espanol


Monday morning bright and early (7:00 AM), we started our week of Spanish school at CPI in Monteverde. First order of business was taking a test to assess our current level of comprehension. Dave and I were assigned the same instructor per our request and made up our small group of two.
The classes normally run from 8:00 AM until 12 noon with a 20 minute coffee and snack break at 10:00. The school provides tasty local food for the break and for lunch, a Costa Rican couple sells hardy typical meals that include meat, rice and beans, and a salad or a vegetable for approximately $3.50. There are additional optional activities included at no extra cost like, movies, dance and cooking classes, cultural lectures and poetry. The school also assists with booking tours and transfers and provides a 10 percent discount at local businesses. Afternoons are free to take tours, hike, relax and of course, study. All of the staff is friendly and ready to assist with anything you need.
