my husband and I were fortunate to take lessons at this school for 2 weeks. We stopped by on a Monday with short notice and they were able to set us up with private lessons immediately. The staff is very professional and welcoming. Lessons were well planned. I was concerned that 4 hours per day would be too much- but... More

I only went for 5 days, only classes, 4 h each day so it was intense but I learned so much. I already knew the basics, which made it easier for me to handle so many new things in such a short time i think.. My teacher Vanessa was so kind and sweet and we really got along. This experience... More

The Latin American Spanish School was recommended to me by a friend who currently works for a non-profit in Nicaragua, and who was a student at the school a few years back. I just spent about five weeks at the school and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in studying spanish at a great school in a beautiful, laid-back... More

I lucked upon this school the first time around, just walking by. But the second time I came in because another school I tried in another town was no comparison. So I came back to SJDS, LASS, and to an amazing teacher, Mariel. The school setting is a proper classroom where it is easy to concentrate and you're surrounded by... More

I just spent 4 weeks studying here and it was fantastic! This was my first experience studying Spanish abroad and it could not have gone any better. I chose the home stay option and the family the school set me up with were great. The food was excellent. The one on one classes were the best option for me. I... More

Classroom setting very comfortable with views of central park from the balcony. Teachers professional and willing to help with any questions you may have whether or not they related to learning Spanish. My home-stay was near the school with a private room and bathroom. Family was wonderful and willing to help in any way possible. Meals are typical cuisine, if... More

This school was great, really reasonable price for one on one Spanish, they were really flexible with when I could take my classes and I learnt so much. My teacher Lucia was amazing, made me work hard but had fun whilst doing it, I only wish I was staying long in San juan so I could take more classes!

It was my third visit to Latin America Spanish School and I have been fortunate to study with Mariel Estrada all three times. The one-on-one instruction begins with a well designed assessment, the results of which lead quickly to personalized instruction that focuses on your specific needs and requests. The experience was always supportive and encouraging, without a hint of... More

Latin American Spanish School is great: great teachers, very relaxed, well priced. I visited SJDS for a week in June 2012. I took classes at LASS from 8am-12pm every day - then I surfed in the afternoons (or tried to surf). LASS also hooked me up with a local family for a home-stay. The combination of the great family I... More
