Costa Rica Teen Spanish Program Feedback

San Jose Summer Spanish Program Teens
One of the teens that studied with us this past Summer in San Jose, Costa Rica gave us a great overview of her experience and has allowed us to share her feedback with our readers.

It is great when any of our students follow up with our requests for feedback as we want to know how their experience went while studying at our Spanish Immersion Schools.

Here is what Jennie experienced at the Costa Rica Teen Spanish program in her own words. She was also kind enough to share some of her photos included here. 

For 4 weeks I stayed with a host family in Santo Domingo de Heredia, Costa Rica (San Jose Teen Camp Location) and learned Spanish at the Spanish Abroad School. Being the first teen of the summer I made new friendships with the adults and received personal attention from my teacher. Every day I had 4 hours of class with an amazing “profesora”.

Each day brought new discoveries and memories. I started by reviewing basic conjugations and helpful, common vocabulary and by the end of my stay I had learned all forms of the preterite and the future tenses.

Each week more teens arrived, I had a small class and we frequently learned new grammar, played helpful games, and talked, all in Spanish.

I had excursions and activities every day which included Manuel Antonio National Park, Volcan Poas, Volcan Arenal, zip lining, cooking, and my favorite, Merengue and Salsa dance classes.

My 1400 photos and videos have captured my favorite moments. Spanish Abroad allowed me to create new friendships across the world from Germany to Switzerland, and all over the United States who I correspond to in Spanish.

I now consider my host family my real family, I talked to them every morning, I listened to their stories of past foreign students and I shared my own stories about my life back at home. Now I smile whenever I am in Spanish class because I have had such a wonderful experience learning the language in Costa Rica with Spanish Abroad. I completely recommend Spanish Abroad's School in San Jose."

Thanks,

Jennie
