Review

I started looking at Spanish immersion schools years ago to become a Spanish medical interpreter and found there are a lot of schools out there. After trying to narrow them down by their reviews I found that this school was at the top of the list. I am here in Costa Rica going to this school now.

I am in my fourth week here and my Spanish has improved dramatically. The reason for such improvement comes from the way they teach and how multi-faceted it is. From grammar lessons to vocabulary to 'modismos', it's all there and helps a person to get a solid grasp of the language. The teachers are mostly bilingual and are knowledgeable in all aspects of Spanish.

What helps even more is the school will set you up with a family to live with during your stay that fits your needs and gives you a chance to practice your Spanish every day. The host families are patient and will help you a lot. These families are wonderful. I'm staying with Gabby and her family and they have become very near and dear to me. There are over 50 families you could stay with and Yenifer will get you settled into a family that best fits your needs.

This school has been amazing from the start with super helpful people like Robert who begins the process to Yenifer who works at the school and will ensure you have the best experience possible. They also off many day trips or dancing and cooking classes to further immerse you in the Tico culture! I cannot recommend this place enough.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
