Learn Spanish in the Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic |
The Dominican Republic is a Spanish speaking island in the Caribbean, with magnificent scenery, wonderful beaches and friendly locals. Due to its sub-tropical location, the Dominican Republic enjoys year-round summer and sunshine. This is an ideal location in which to learn Spanish in Latin America. Our schools in Santo Domingo (the capital) and Sosua (with its incredible beaches) run Spanish language courses throughout the year.
If you are interested in attending a Spanish language course in the Dominican Republic, we offer the possibility for you to either learn Spanish in Santo Domingo, or Sosua, or divide your course between both locations.
We also offer a 'Learning Spanish and Dancing' course, for students interested in Salsa and Merengue, as well as a 2-week 'Travelling Classroom' Spanish Course, for students who wish to learn Spanish as they travel around the Dominican Republic.
