University courses
University-based language courses offer travelers the most structured linguistics (语言学) program, combining classroom instruction and group tours with homestay experiences. Though an intermediate (中等的) level of Spanish is often required, travelers are afforded the opportunity to gain academic credit and work alongside their peers.

Independent language schools, though often more expensive than university-based courses, afford students across all linguistic levels the opportunity to take part in a study abroad program. From long-stay programs to certification (认证) courses, travelers may undertake specialized classes based on their individual language needs.
Private instruction
Private instruction offers the most flexibility to travelers looking to combine education with fun, with classes offered alongside additional studies. Private instruction in Puerto Rico won’t break the bank, costing as little as $15 per hour!
Planning your trip
Requirements
There are no passports or visas necessary for United States citizens. However, for citizens of other countries, requirements are the same as those for entering the U. S. A 90-day “visitor” visa is available, although students traveling for cultural exchange purposes, such as university study or temporary work, must apply for specialized visas.
Costs of living in Puerto Rico
