What language is spoken in Costa Rica?

Spanish is the official language of Costa Rica. In the popular tourist locations, English is frequently spoken but it will restrict you a lot!

When planning to visit Costa Rica and to get the most out of your experience I’d recommend to learn a few Spanish phrases before you travel.

But if you are planning a longer stay, I’d recommended to take a Spanish course as a 2nd language before you travel so you can have the confidence to practice your Spanish and consolidate your fluency while visiting Costa Rica

If Spanish is already a good level 2nd language for you or if you are planning a longer visit to Costa Rica, you might want to consider language differences between Spanish and Costa Rican Spanish and take your learning up a notch
