Tico Lingo Complete Pricing Guide

At Tico Lingo, we believe in complete transparency. That means no hidden fees—you won’t pay extra for registration, workbooks, writing materials, or credit card transactions. What you see is exactly what you pay.

All program and accommodation prices are clearly listed in USD ($), and secure online payments can be made via debit or credit card. To reserve your spot in a Spanish immersion program, a 35% deposit is required. This deposit is fully refundable up to 4 weeks before your program start date.

After your deposit is received, we’ll gather details about your homestay preferences (if included in your program), ask you to complete a written Spanish placement exam, and schedule a brief oral interview to assess your Spanish level.

The remaining balance is only due once you arrive in Costa Rica.

Every homestay is within walking distance of the school and includes a private bedroom, daily breakfast and dinner, Wi-Fi access, laundry service, and a house key so you can come and go freely. Stays run from Saturday to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday, with checkout at 11:00 AM. Before arrival, each student will receive a short bio of their host family, photos of the room, home, and family, along with the family’s contact information and address.
