La Tortuga Feliz also has a language school that offers volunteers an accelerated intensive Spanish course for beginners and improvers.
In it's design the course takes in to account that, in most instances, the learner has had little or no exposure to language learning. You'll be taken on a journey into the most essential knowledge for easily grasping the foundation of Latin American Spanish.
Once the foundation is established building upon it becomes simple and within a short period students find themselves confidently making inroads into constructing complex sentences in several tenses. Focus is put on speaking, pronounciation & stress rather than reading or writing. Although grammar is covered it is presented in simple and easy to understand terms.
Learning takes the form of 7 purposefully prepared, high energy, fun & intensive lessons that last approx 1 hour. Further study is expected in preparation for the next lesson.
The course is taught in English and apart from a pen, notepad, English to Spanish dictionary and a desire to learn, all that is asked, is that you speak a high level of English.
The 7 lessons are set around volunteering hours and the total cost is $80USD
Spanish lessons are open only to those volunteers who stay a minimum of 14 days between February and November.
