"Central America's #1 Spanish School!"

Are you looking for personal service and teachers who really care? Fun AND professional education?

Logos is different. Read here why:

A friendly and professional school

To help students learning the Spanish language faster and better,
enjoy their time and maybe combine it with a vacation, sightseeing
and relaxation – that and more is what students from all over the world are searching for; and there are very few institutes that can offer it. Yes, so many students tell me how hard it is to find a Spanish school that offers what they are looking for, that is reliable and trustworthy, has educated and friendly teachers, modern and clean classrooms, helps them when they need advice.

Realizing that a Spanish school is needed that gives students more than the regular boring reading lessons I decided to found the perfect school – Logos was born. And today Logos is still based on the principle of giving Spanish language students everything they need!

Learn Spanish more efficiently! Experience has shown that students look for these six key characteristics: - Quality Teachers who understand your needs and learning goals and are highly experienced in teaching languages - Quality Classes that are well prepared, creative, dynamic and participative - Quality Course Material backing classes for deep understanding and long-lasting results (All these Materials are FREE for Logos Spanish students!!!) - Great Location that offers you a good environment for studying, cultural activities and sights, parties, dancing, lifestyle… and San Jose, Costa Rica, is THE place for all of that! - Reliablity and trustworthiness, holding the sales-promise and providing clean and modern classrooms - Flexibility to give you tailored Spanish classes and meet your specific needs - FUN! The key ingredient in every Spanish class! … and this is exactly what we offer!!!

Total immersion lets YOU learn 60% faster

At the Logos Language Institute we use a total immersion method; classes are held 100% in Spanish language from the first day. This helps you to manage the language in a more natural way and lets you get comfortable with Spanish much faster. You won’t feel the need for translations, you will be able to interpret phrases faster and think in Spanish with no dependence on your native language.

All Logos teachers have a university degree and are training according to the school’s philosophy of giving you everything you need.

According to Logos’ philosophy you will be supported with materials that match your level. Illustrations, mimics, drawings, objects and simple samples will assist you to progress step by step in a natural way. If your Spanish is on an intermediate or advanced level, you will also enjoy a great variety of materials and activities that will help you to shape and improve higher skills and speak fluently.

We advance at your own pace and devote the time you need for doing so. The Spanish lessons are conversational and wholly participatory; you will always have the opportunity to speak, to ask, and to be corrected. Even though the focus is conversational, we do not set aside aspects of grammar. Every day we teach Spanish grammar in a practical way and apply it to every day life situations to give you the advantage of being able to immediately use it.

We take great pride in the fact that our Spanish lessons are completely varied, dynamic, creative, and fun and therefore separate us from every other Spanish school I have heard of!

Compare us if you want – you will not find a single school that offers you more!

Here you find museums and culture as well as nightlife and fiestas; active volcanoes, tropical beaches and rainforests are j ust a short bus ride away!

Ever got ripped off by a Spanish school?
Read why it makes me mad… and why you should be, too!

Have you ever been to a language school where you get taught by people without a high school degree? Where you had to realize that your teacher has no clue what he is talking about, where you paid a fortune just to discover that you got ripped off?

It’s a sad fact that this happens. Especially in countries with lower living standard (South America, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, etc.) you better make sure to chose a reliable Spanish school if you don’t want to end up with a guy who hardly knows more about teaching than you do yourself.

At Logos we guarantee qualified teachers (please see our 100% money-back guarantee for details). All our teachers are native speakers of the Spanish language, graduated from a University and are experienced in the teaching of Spanish to foreigners. Every single one of our teachers has proven to be reliable, always willing to help you, to encourage you to learn and to make you feel at home in Costa Rica.

All materials are FREE for Logos students!!! If you study Spanish at Logos you don’t have to bring all of those heavy and expensive books. We supply you with all printed materials that you need: grammar, vocabulary, exercises and much more.

You will also make use of supplementary books, magazines, newspapers, games, cards, illustrations and other visual materials to actively train your Spanish, to exercise interviews, have discussions, play role-games,…

Additionally we will support you with a lot of Spanish audio materials: dialogues, monologues, music… WOW, you will have a fun time!!!

Small Groups Let You Learn 25% Faster

Looking at group sizes Logos again leads the field. Unlike many other schools we set our maximum per group to five students. Whenever possible groups are kept at a size of 2-3 students. These small groups allow us to give you all the personal attention you need to develop your Spanish skills on a fast pace and achieve homogeneity within the group.

Don’t ever choose a school that puts more than 5 students into one class as the quality drops by at least 25%!

You Define the Timeframe

The duration of the courses is only defined by you – you can study for a single week or a whole year. For optimum results we recommend at least 4 weeks of classes!

Courses are normally taught from Monday thru Friday. A combination with tours is possible if you take individual lessons or the if the whole group agrees.

At Logos you can take morning lessons: Intensive courses start at 8:00am and end at 12:00pm. Semi-intensive courses start at 8:00am and end at 11:00am.

Or you enroll for afternoon lessons: Then your intensive course starts at 1:00pm and ends at 5:00pm. Semi-intensive courses start also at 1:00pm, they end at 4:00pm. If you take morning classes you may want to add private classes in the afternoon for as long as you want!

Because we want you to use your time efficiently the length of our lessons is far longer than at other Spanish schools. Many other schools only give you 40-45 minutes if you pay for a full lesson. At Logos a lesson means 50-55 minutes of well planned Spanish tuition!

You receive a special Logos Certificate of Participation

At the end of your stay with Logos you get an
official Attendance Certificate with the total
number of hours you attended and the level
you reached. Yes, frame it and hang it on your
wall to show them all!

FREE snacks, tropical fruits, delicious pastry, fresh coffee, tea,…
ALL complimentary for YOU!

A 20 minutes coffee break gives you and the teachers the possibility to relax, enjoy a FREE tropical snack with fresh fruits, pastry, coffee, tea, juice…and get ready for another challenging topic. We enjoy having all students together and share food and drinks - we just love to make you feel at home, have a chat with us and enjoy with your colleagues and new friends.

Wonder how we know what you need to study?

At Logos we care about your individual level and pace. To guarantee you the best success, we distinguish between 9(!) different levels. On your first day at Logos you will complete a proven placement test that meets ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) requirements. Through this test we will determine your level of knowledge and communication skills in Spanish. Also we have oral interviews with our students to place them in the perfect group.

“My Costa Rican family was AWESOME!!!
You won’t find friendlier and nicer people anywhere!”

Logos offers you both: Home stays with a qualified and proven family as well as staying at a hotel or hostel.

If you decide on a home stay we guarantee to place you at a carefully selected family (please see our 100% money-back guarantee)! Our families are located in the San Jose suburbs (10-20 minutes from downtown) and all of them have proven to be reliable. You can always expect a clean, well-maintained home, excellent food (you receive TWO delicious meals INCLUDED every day!) and a friendly family who will give you many opportunties to speak Spanish. Staying with a host family has proven to be the best way to be fully emerged into a Spanish speaking environment and gives you the advantage of developing a deep understanding of true Costa Rican lifestyle, of what we call “Pura Vida”!

If you are a professional, need an extra portion of space or personal freedom you might want to consider staying at one of San Jose’s comfortable hotels, aparthotels and hostels.

For the rest of your life YOU will know how to speak Spanish. YOU will have the rare advantage of knowing about lifestyle and culture so few people ever experience.

You might not believe how badly organized some schools are; this is one of the reasons why I decided to found this language center – to give you the possibility of learning Spanish in an exciting and safe environment, so have fun and get the very most out of your time!
