"The Spanish classes at ATESA in Atenas were a very enriching experience for me and my husband. The individual lessons in the quiet garden created a relaxed atmosphere, and Diego, Mireya, and María made the classes motivating and varied with great commitment and warmth. After an intensive grammar phase, the lessons developed into fascinating conversations about literature, history, politics, and Latin American music. We not only improved our language skills, but also gained many cultural insights. The classes were personal, lively, and inspiring - a true highlight of our time in Costa Rica. We highly recommend ATESA in Atenas to anyone who wants to truly experience Spanish."

"I can wholeheartedly recommend this school. The lessons take place in a very family-like atmosphere, surrounded by nature and in a typically Costa Rican setting. That makes you feel comfortable right away and able to fully focus on learning. What I especially liked was how flexibly the school adapted to my personal learning style. The lessons were never rigid or monotonous, but always individually designed and tailored exactly to my needs. My teacher Maria is wonderful. She is very patient, open, and warm. Her lessons are varied and lively, with a very good mix of conversation and grammar. This combination helped me a lot to gain more confidence in Spanish and to use the language in practice. Overall, it was a very positive and enriching experience in a special learning environment."
