Apoyo Spanish School, Nicaragua
Intensive Spanish Language and Volunteering Program
The only Spanish School in Laguna de Apoyo Nature Reserve, Nicaragua
SKYPE classes! Special prices for Spanish Classes via SKYPE!
The GAIA program at FUNDECI is now offering a new way to learn Spanish: lessons via skype! Not just anyone can spend extensive periods in an immersion experience in a Spanish-speaking country. But the world is smaller than ever before. Spanish classes with a fluent, knowledgable, bilingual speaker are available for you at your convenience.
You can choose between three options.
Five hours SKYPE instruction: US$50
Twenty hours SKYPE instruction: US$160
Forty hours SKYPE instruction: US$280
Spanish instruction via SKYPE utilizes the same time-tested methodology used at Apoyo Spanish School, focusing on hearing and responding in Spanish, initial placement and objectives developed based on interview and test, and final evaluation. All students will receive a diploma stating the areas covered.
