Description: The Nica Spanish Language School offers intensive system one on one Spanish immersion programs 4 hours per 5 day for a week. All the classes are customized for the special needs of each student. If you already speak some Spanish, we would like to welcome you at 08:00 in the morning on your first day at our Spanish language school and to take our level test. To a real Spanish language teacher, understanding the grammar and memorizing vocabulary is indispensable, but it is not enough. What really is indispensable is practicing your skills in realistic everyday situations. Therefore we organize a great variety of activities to complement our program and, so that every student will find something of interest.

The Nica Spanish Language School programs include a dynamic, interesting and fun leisure agenda that is complementary to the process of learning the Spanish language. All activities are geared towards socializing in a learning environment. Our School offers all kind of options for excursions, trips and hikes. Have you ever taken a salsa-class with students from different parts of the world. What about a two-day trip to the Ometepe island? But if you rather we can go to Masaya Volcano, a natural park where you can see the crater. It would be possible visiting the most older city built by Europeans in America, Granada city.

Job & Internship Network: Ours is a vision of unity, communication, cooperation, and support between local Nicaraguan residents and foreigners living in or visiting Nicaragua. By bringing together these two communities Communidad Connect capitalizes on their individual strength and addresses their individual needs in a way that is mutually benefitial. Nica Spanish Language School & Comunidad Connect are organized with the goal of bringing together the local and foreign communities in Nicaragua in an effort to achieve sustainable development and poverty alleviation. In many cases this cooperation is tangible, such as when participants of the VolunTourism program work side by side with local residents and stay with local families. In other cases, such as with Community Refund, the cooperation is more financial, as real estate investors, agents, and developers directly fund projects that build assets for local individuals and communities. The Sports Park is a place where the two groups can meet in friendly competition, while the Recycling Program addresses a concern for sustainable waste management shared by both residents and visitors to Nicaragua.
