Amazing staff, amazing culture, even better experience, thank you Costa Rica! 🇨🇷

The time I spent here at Tico Lingo will forever remain in my heart. The people I met here were extraordinary and so full of love.

The time I spent learning Spanish has truly helped me to better my abilities as well as confidence in speaking. I was lucky enough to have Marlyn as a teacher and she was phenomenal. She always took the time to explain any concept, no matter how big or small, so that all of us 4 students were on the same page. She never allowed anyone to fall behind and taught with incredible grace, patience and a kind smile that made Spanish class an environment of nurture-filled learning.

The tours we went on and activities truly helped me to get closer to the other campers, understand more of Tico culture and test my Spanish skills. Throughout the whole camp I was supported every step of the way by an amazing staff of kind, funny and helpful people. Chris added a fun energy to every activity even in times of rowdy kids. Morgan and Clay worked together to solve every problem they encountered with love and care while also getting to know campers. Mary allowed students to have fun while also joining in. Craig was the fun-loving camera guy who always knew how to make campers laugh.

But above all, my Tico family. People that took me in and treated me like I had known them for years. We all laughed together and when I had something to get off my chest they always listened so happily. The family of Rita, Rafael, and Alma is one I will never forget for the love and care they showed me with my time here. Their food was absolutely delicious and their family is beautiful. I will forever see Rita and Rafael as my family in Costa Rica.

In total, all my love goes to the wonderful staff that allowed for me to grow my Spanish and who also touched my heart. Thank you! And please if you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to join in this amazing camp take it! It’s worth it! And it’ll be something you’ll never forget! Costa Rica is a place like NO OTHER! ¡Pura Vida!
