Costa Rica
Let’s visit this natural paradise that sits between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Costa Rica’s diverse landscape is painted with active volcanoes, mountains, sparkling coastal plains, biodiverse rainforests, and amazing white sand beaches.
Costa Rica offers more than a beautiful landscape and amazing year-round tropical weather; this small country has a rich culture and history dating back to the 1500s and boasts a laid-back and community-oriented lifestyle that is rare in much of the world. From the moment you land, you’ll start to experience the now world-renowned “Pura Vida Lifestyle”. Considered one of the safest countries in Latin America, Costa Rica can provide amazing experiences for people of all backgrounds and interests.

Testimonies
“Wonderful trip, wonderful experience. Spanish all the time in one of everyone’s favorite counties in the Spanish speaking world. It’s a guided trip to some of the best spots in Costa Rica with local guides. A great mixture of classes, exercises and conversation. You get to talk about what you’ve been doing and seeing. You will learn what “Pura Vida” really means and why it’s not just a slogan to promote tourism. Costa Ricans, “Ticos”, are really proud of their country. They are truly friendly and helpful to all. And you get to meet them. The trip visits different parts of the country for both natural and cultural attractions. All the planning is done for you, accommodations are excellent and everything runs smoothly. One of the surprises of the trip was the food. Costa Rica has its own cuisine which is very good, very healthy and very tasty. I can’t think of a better way to learn Spanish and to experience the country of Costa Rica with the best Spanish teachers you’ll ever have!””
“Our son has been a student of Becky’s since 2016. She has been an amazing teacher. She has made studying interesting and fun.
What she started out as just a tutor to support Spanish classes turned into something much bigger. Our son works and enjoys cooking classes with Becky, has participated in group classes and has improved his conversational Spanish. However, what he liked the most was the immersion trip to Costa Rica with Becky.
For him, it was a unique experience. Learning about her culture, food and people opened his eyes to a whole new world. He can’t wait to come back soon.For us, Becky is not just his teacher, she is part of our family.

“I had the experience of living a whole weekend of Spanish. This was by far one of the most amazing experiences for me to actually start speaking Spanish with more confidence. Becky makes sure that you do not speak any English. She encourage you and guide you to speak at the grocery store, restaurants, clothing stores and more with native people and she really makes sure that you live a full immersion. This worked out really well for me because I didn’t have the means to go to another country at the moment, not just the money but also the time. Participating in this was very convenient, inexpensive and lots of fun! I did my first Karaoke night in Spanish at the cabin. I could not believe that I was actually singing and understanding every game and activity without needing to translate or speak English. I love the system! The teachers are very caring and everything is just amazing about this company. Give it a try!”
