Intercultura Costa Rica: Beachfront Spanish Immersion

My work recommended that I go to the Intercultura program in order to get a kick start in learning to speak Spanish. . Of course at first I was a little skeptical as to how much I could actually learn in two weeks. But, I have to say the whole Intercultura program blew me away.

My entire experience was absolutely phenomenal and I am 100 percent convinced that there is no other better way to learn a language than to take an immersion course.

The entire staff at the school were extremely friendly and helpful. My teacher was amazing she was full of energy and loved her teaching techniques. She was very patient with all the students and very helpful as well. the school definitely offers and motivates you to participate in various different activities that only help you indulge in more opportunities to learn to speak Spanish.

Classes are only 4 hours long and I loved during my 15 minute breaks to grab a fresh cup of coffee offered for free by the school and just go and stare at the beautiful beach right outside the school gate. The school is extremely well maintained and clean.

The entire neighborhood surrounding the school is extremely outgoing and social. There's a great nightlife out there and I felt safe the whole time. The town is adorable, easy to get around and has all the comforts you'll need.

The homestay offered is great and an educational way to learn the culture and also practice more espanol.

Great big fat thank you and praise to the surf school! Those guys are amazing and very passionate about teaching people to surf.

There's so much more praise to be given to the experience I had at the Intercultura school in Samara Beach. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

I moved to Costa Rica in September 2014 where I have a hotel and a rental condo. There was a big need to learn Spanish as I had to conduct business in Spanish. This school was amazing and I will surely recommend it. The classes are a ton of fun and very exciting.

I stayed only for a week in Samara, but got a lot out of it! My friendly home stay family rented me a bike and I felt at once at home in the village!
In my advanced spanish class we were only 4 students and a very engaged lovely teacher, so we could learn and participate a lot. Our learning matter varied from pure grammar to cultural and personal stuff. It was always fun. I became friend especially with one student (a woman my age) and we continued to speak Spanish where ever we met - at the wonderful beach, so to say the schoolyard or having a glass of wine at sunset in one of the nice restaurants at the beach as well!
In the afternoon I enjoyed the latin-dancing classes, which were offered by the school as well!

I have studied at Sámara Beach Language School twice for five weeks in total. I am going to return to the school next month to study for another week. I like the school a lot. There is a nice combination of pleasant atmosphere and professionalism. All of the teachers are very good or excellent. The community is very nice. There are many nice restaurants.
