10/10 Would Recommend

Tico Lingo has been such an amazing experience for me, in school and out in the city! Every day we had a new adventure to go on, and you make amazing friends along the way. During the school day, you have lots of breaks, and you never dread going to class. There is always something fun to do, and you collaborate with the other students a ton.

My favorite activities in class were playing charades and Pictionary, writing stories about drawings, and the fake scenarios my teacher would put us in (all in Spanish). I got to pretend to have hit a grandma on my bicycle, have three delinquents macarena, then hit me with a stick, and spot my boyfriend with another girl. Over these two weeks, I have learned to explain all of these situations and more, all in Spanish.

In my homestay, I played Rummikub with my Tica mom and talked to her only in Spanish. She made delicious meals and laughed at me when I tried to show her some magic tricks and failed. After school every day we would go on awesome adventures, and a couple times we got to talk to kids our age at their school, and I got to explain to them what mogging is in Spanish while they tried to teach me bachata and salsa.

If we had time, my friends and I would go shopping and buy clothes, jewelry, and, most importantly, ice cream. I had an amazing time here, and I love Tico Lingo!
