What is the recommended length of stay at CPI Spanish Immersion Costa Rica? How many hours of Spanish instruction are best?

On average our students stay at CPI for 3 or 4 weeks; however, serious learners with defined linguistic goals may decide to stay on for 6 months. It is quite common for students to study at CPI and continue from home through our live format on-line sessions.

Regarding daily class hours, our 4-hour-intensive course (total 20 hours weekly) is our most popular option, which with interaction in the community (and host family) provides a fully immersive experience. The 2-hour immersion Spanish Program (total 10 hours weekly) is popular for those looking for an extended time frame, cultural experience (4 or more weeks) and wish to combine immersion with other interests.
