Exceptional Spanish Immersive and Cultural Experience

If you desire a truly immersive language and cultural experience, this is best value and experience for your money! At this school you will walk everywhere and interact with the local people (Ticos/Ticas) and have access to the cafes (La Tortilleria, Canela Azul, etc) market, stores and the town. You may walk to the Olympic Training Center and pay $2 a day to swim in the outdoor Olympic Pool or use other athletic facilities. Living with a family, interacting with the local people and walking everywhere will require you to use the Spanish you are learning. Your hosts will cook daily for you and the food is great from locally sourced providers. There are a variety of activities such as cooking, hike (Cerro De La Cruz), latin dance classes, a trip to the beach at Samara (where there is also a campus of this school) and other activities. You will hear the troupes of Howler monkeys in the morning and evening and if fortunate (as I was) when hiking. The school has breaks during the morning with cafe (coffee) and fresh fruit. Finally, and most important are the staff; Priscilla, Gary, Alberto and others. They are warm, professional, knowledgeable and want to ensure you have a wonderful immersive experience and learn the language. I have taken on-line courses via Skype of 18 months, 75% cheaper than what you will pay in the states where you will pay, at minimum, $50 and hour. This is an exceptional program where you may either start on-line or travel to Nicoya then return home and continue your study and practice of Spanish or vice versa. An excellent program in a wonderful location!
