Nicaragua Spanish Lessons

Language school in Granada, Nicaragua

Nicaragua Spanish Lessons is the website of the Instituto Lingüístico Inter-Cultural, formerly Proyecto Lingüístico Eco-Cultural, a Spanish language school in Granada, Nicaragua, founded in 2004. The school is on Calle El Arsenal in Granada's historic centre, and its teachers are native Nicaraguan speakers. It teaches all levels, from complete beginner (A1) to advanced (C2), and all age groups. Courses last from one week to several months and can start any Monday.

  • Spanish Full Immersion: 20 hours a week in Granada, with homestay and excursions
  • One-on-one lessons in Granada, Masaya and Managua
  • Small group classes with a maximum of five students
  • Spanish for travellers and short crash courses
  • Medical Spanish for healthcare professionals
  • Programmes for college and university students, with credits possible through the home university
  • Spanish with water sports at Laguna de Apoyo, and online classes

Students in immersion programmes live with a local host family selected and interviewed by the school, in a private room with a private bathroom and three home-made meals a day. Afternoon cultural activities and excursions to volcanoes, islands and colonial towns are part of the programme. On the first day, students take an oral and written placement test, and receive a certificate of completion at the end.
