Hi guys---I made it!

First and foremost---thanks to everyone on this forum for the information you've shared. My gf and I are now safely landed (with wifi) in an apartment in Santurce.

Can anyone recommend a solid Spanish tutor in the San Juan area. Seems like I can get around just fine with the Spanish I know already, but I'd really like to get myself fluent.

I took private lessons with Julie from Global Perceptions. She's based in SJ and we would meet at various coffee shops. Highly recommended!!!

I paid $40/session for one-on-one lessons (about 1.5 hrs each). I wanted to work on conversational skills, so she tailored each lesson accordingly. Since it was one-on-one, I thought the money was very well spent.

ISLA language school in Hato Rey offers private or group lessons for a reasonable price. http://islalanguage.com/spanish-immersion-program.html here is their website with group pricing. The group lessons are M-F 9am-12pm or in the evening (6:30-8:30 pm? Not sure on that). The private lessons are more expensive and you have to contact for quote.

ISLA was a great experience!! Upon arriving in PR I took a 2-week course. I lucked out that in the second week, I was the only student and received one-on-one lessons for the same price as group lessons.

Going to classes each day from Condado also allowed me to get used to the Tren Urbano and the bus system.
