I had an excellent time at the Spanish Ya school and thought that the teachers and instruction were top-notch and pretty well tailored to what I wanted to get out of the classes. The living arrangements -- basically private hostel type rooms attached to the school and director's house -- were adequate, and seemed perfect for somebody who wanted the... more

Thank you very much for your review. Yes, we can place students in local host families for those who want to live with a nica family. We also think our home-stay option is very convenient as you have the keys of your own room (with double bed and bath) and this way you don't need to knock the door of...

The school is run by a wonderful family and is staffed by great teachers. The private rooms are nice and the school is in a quiet little neighborhood only a 5 minute walk to town. The family goes out of their way to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable and provides a number of activities every week. After two weeks,... more

I spent two and a bit weeks at Spanish Ya and left feeling very satisfied by the experience, and wanting to come back. Living in private rooms next to the school you have your own space but also get to socialise with the other students. The school arranged trips and activities at least three times a week, from beach visits... more

Went there for 2 weeks. I lived with a lovely family, I had class every morning and spent my afternoons on the beach. The setup of the school is great, relaxed, convenient and friendly. Everything was as advertised. Good teacher. I learned a lot. I definitely recommend Spanish Ya. more

I'm just back from a 2-week stay at Spanish Ya and can't stop raving about the experience. The teachers were great and eager to customize the direction of the coursework to your particular objectives - whether you're looking to hang out and learn Spanish along the way or if you seriously want to improve fluency. I also recommend this place... more

I spent a few weeks in Nicaragua and participated in the Spanish Ya Language School in Novemeber 2008. I absolutely loved it. I had 1-on-1 Spanish classes daily, completely flexible schedule to fit your routine and an individually appropriate curriculum that is also very flexible. I learned an incredible amount of Spanish both grammar and conversational, as well as medical... more

I learned a ton of Spanish in my two weeks with Spanish Ya in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Their style of teaching was wonderful. The teachers used words I could understand and continually built up my vocabulary with new sentences and phrases. The host family is great, the rooms and food was excellent. I would recommend the program to... more
