How can I learn Spanish in Guanacaste, Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is one of the most educated countries in the world. Children must take English in school as part of their education. And here at the beach almost EVERYONE speaks English, so it is very easy for Ex Pats to adjust. But, most of my clients WANT to learn Spanish, so that they can converse with the Ticos in their local language. There are many avenues to accomplish this.

There are bi-lingual schools, group classes and personal private one on one session. Below is a list of some of the best in the area. Buena Suerte!!

Costa Rica is one of the top wedding destination countries in the world. Thousands of people get married here every year. There are also family reunions, anniversaries and birthday bashes, which many people want to record by photo or video.

Also, when you own a vacation rental property, having professional photos, video and drone shots can make a huge impact on the amount of activity and occupancy that you receive.

Here are a list of some of the best photographers in the area.
