My husband and I studied at LASS for a month last year in October. He is a beginner and I am intermediate to advanced. We each had our own teacher who taught us at our level. I've taken immersion classes before and I was really impressed by the qualifications of Vanessa and the rest of the teachers I met at... More

My wife and I studied for a couple months in San Juan del Sur with Latin American Spanish School. I was a beginner. My wife was almost perfectly fluent. We both had teachers that were excellent, kind, expert and super friendly. They made us feel so welcome, like family. I would recommend this school, and these teachers, and this town... More

I attended class here for one week (plus a few days) for four hours a day. My instructor and the class structure was excellent. I looked around and talked with a few other schools before signing up and this was by far the most professional organization. They are very accomodating in their scheduling and everyone was friendly and helpful. I... More

We had a great experience at LASS. Our teachers were friendly and knowledgeable and always had lots of homework to give! Do it, and you can learn a lot. The location is fantastic. 2nd floor looking over the church park and has a nice breeze. More

I showed up alone last fall and had a great experience, to say the least. I was able to start the day I walked in and they helped me create a schedule to accomodate my stay. It was well priced for the individual instuction I received, though they can set up any arrangement you'd like. I worked with Vanessa, who... More

We have been to the LASS multiple times and think it is great. Mariel and everyone there are good teachers, not at all intimidating and fun at the same time (even if you have very little Spanish, as my kids didn't when we started). They can accomodate your interests: food, medical, games, grammar, etc... as well as arrange excursions. I... More

The instruction was made to fit our levels of spanish. It was affordable and they were flexible with class times. I wanted to focus on advanced subjects (medical spanish, past and future story telling) while my girlfriend needed more basic instruction. The instructors were very knowledgeable and were never stumped, including an amazing ability to explain the significance of words... More

Any of the tutors are great, my mine Vanessa, was particularly outstanding. Services range to fit your needs- from 1 on 1 tutoring to group lessons to weekly immersions to daily sessions;... More

I took three weeks of classes through L.A.S.S. in San Juan Del Sur. The instructors were great, I learned a lot in just three short weeks. The home stay with the family was excellent. The room, food and friendliness of the family really made my stay in San Juan del Sur comfortable. If you are looking for a laid back... More
