My Spanish confidence and rice and beans intake both increased a lot

This Spanish immersion camp was such a cool experience. At first, I was nervous because I didn’t know most of the other people and I wasn’t confident in my speaking, but the teachers, counselors, and other campers were so nice. I also liked staying with a host family. It gave me the chance to practice a free-flowing Spanish conversation with a tica and implement the new language I learned in class that day. After class, we did so many really fun activities like ziplining, a ropes course, kayaking, white-water rafting, visiting a coffee plantation, and an intercambio (which was speaking with Costa Rican students learning English). I would say to prepare yourself for rice and beans to become almost all of your food groups, but you will survive. All in all, I had a lot of fun over these two weeks and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their confidence in speaking Spanish.
