Healthcare and Spanish in Costa Rica

Through Maximo Nivel, I was in Manuel Antonio and San Jose, each for 4 weeks. The Spanish teachers at Maximo are so wonderful. I had no experience with Spanish before arriving and I learned so much in just four weeks. I feel confident living day to day life in a Spanish speaking country. I feel like I have the preparation and materials to continue learning Spanish with confidence. In San Jose, I volunteered with a healthcare project and had a very humbling and eye opening experience. I loved working with the patients and I felt supported by the Maximo Nivel staff. The field managers, supervisors, and the rest of the staff at Maximo Nivel in both Manuel Antonio and San Jose were very supportive and helpful through the duration of my stay. I have plans of volunteering and taking classes with Maximo in the future, and I cannot say enough good things about this organization.
