I am finally conversational at Spanish!!

I recently completed a 4 week immersion program in Nicoya and I’m finally comfortably speaking Spanish! I started with online video classes with the tutor in early January – 2 classes/week. After 7 months, I then worked with the same tutor through the 4-week in-person program in Nicoya with the final week at Samara beach. What a great overall experience!!! My tutor, Pri, was incredible. I started the year with only the basics, barely able to speak. She has an incredible amount of patience as I built up my speed to normal speaking. The program included a review of all the basic rules of Spanish, then through a series of structured booklets, a significant amount of vocabulary building, reading stories, reading news, and an incredible amount of basic conversation. I highly recommend this school for anyone serious about finally getting conversational in Spanish. For me, taking online courses with the school ahead of the in-person immersion was helpful, but I think for someone more advanced, you can jump right into the immersion. I stayed at a family home next door - they were warm, wonderful, and patient with my Spanish, plus the home-cooked meals were amazing. My wife came for the 4th week and we enjoyed Samara beach.
