As people in the US travel more to Latin America to retire and own second homes, there is an enormous boon in popularity to learn to speak Spanish in classroom settings offered in the US and other countries. Plus, in today’s competitive US job market, it’s also a good idea to learn Spanish as a second language to improve employment possibilities as bilingual employees often receive larger salaries. And, while you’re learning Spanish, you can also train to become a professional PADI Dive Master. Spanish is the second most important language for Dive instructors to learn for employment.
Total immersion learning of the home-country of the chosen language is also on the rise as the preferred way to learn a language; students are able to combine a language course and learn the proper use of grammar, speaking and writing, as well as learning about the habits, traditions and culture of the country.

Brock Higdon, owner of LearnSpanishAndSurf is a former Spanish immersion student himself, and lived in Costa Rica for over a year while visiting many Spanish immersion schools to include in his exclusive offerings. He is quoted as saying, “Learning is easier if you’re relaxed and having fun. We offer Spanish speaking schools in two beach locations in Costa Rica, Playa Tamarindo, the surfing capital of Costa Rica, and Playa Jaco.
“For those who want to be closer to the city, we also offer a school in San Jose, Costa Rica. The school there is an old farm house surrounded by tropical gardens. You can also stay with a local Costa Rican family to learn the routines and habits of a family and see how they live their lives. Costa Rica offers almost 800 miles of spectacular coastline ideal for surfing along the Pacific and Caribbean coastlines.”

Learn Spanish and surf in Montañita, a multicultural beach town and surfing capital of Ecuador, and meet tourists from all over the world.
