Comments from Our Students

Before I chose the Costa Rican Language Academy, I was the most skeptical person you could imagine. I asked dozens of questions about the program and even e-mailed the available references.

Now that my stay is over, I´m only sorry that it went by so fast. The reason why my experience was so worthwhile is because of the people here. I felt like the entire staff really cared about helping me and making me feel comfortable. Also, it was so easy to make new friends. There are many different activities available so not only do you learn Spanish, but you LIVE IT and ENJOY IT. I´m returning to my country as a better Spanish speaker, a better dancer, and now I can even cook!
For specific reasons why CRLA is an excellent choice e-mail me at ninarie@hotmail.com

During 10 weeks I was attending Spanish classes at the CRLA in San José. Besides studying grammar, discussions about the world, and practicing the language, I learned a lot about Costa Rican culture, the way people live, their cuisine, their mentality. They are very friendly and helpful and at school we were like a big family. For my trips on the weekends they recommended me places to visit and did the reservations. In the afternoon we could choose between dancing, cooking and conversation class.

With my host family I felt very welcome and more like a member. During meals we spent hours of discussing, laughing and getting to know more about the other culture. I know that with my" tico" host family and the CRLA I will always have a second home.

¡Hola chicas y chicos! Mañana tengo que regresar a Suiza. Muy triste para mi! Porque estos 3 meses en Costa Rica pasaron demasiado rápido. Pero fueron 3 meses muy bonitos. La gente costarricense, la escuela con todos sus profesores, la dirección, las chicas de la recepción, Benedicto, Isabel, Gloria y mi profesora muy buena, simpática, loca y finalmente ella es una amiga maravillosa. También mi familia Daisy y Pascual Durante. El país, el sol y su gente.

¡TODOS eran PURA VIDA!

Yo aprendí muchísimo de español, la cultura costarricense y los bailes en las clases de Frank y Victor. Muchísimas gracias por este tiempo inovidable. 100000000000 besitos de Christine.

The vigorous program was challenging, yet rewarding and extremely fun. The small classes let us get to know our professors on a one to one basis. They not only taught us but became our lifelong friends. Being at the Academy was like having a second family. Everyone was warm and caring and catered to our individual needs One month at the Academy was like 3 years of high school Spanish. We felt daily progress as we were able to communicate more and more efficiently with every hour at class.

If you want to learn Spanish in a fun and exciting way, The Costa Rican Language Academy is the place. We loved every minute of our stay here and are planning on returning many more times.

Kevin Prehn & Travis Hansen, U.S.A.

The small size of the classes, often times one-on-one, and the diversity of instructors and students afforded me the opportunity to experience many different accents and teaching styles. Your instructors are intelligent, patient, kind and extremely professional. I can see that you academy has hired the very best.

Without a doubt, the greatest aspect of my experience here in Costa Rica has been your homestay program. I could never have hand-picked a more perfect family to live with. They were wonderful!… Your homestay program alone is worth the price I paid for the entire program. My Tico family is truly my second family and I am certain that I will come to visit them again in the future.

Dear Laura and all the staff at CRLA

I am writing on behalf of all the pupils and staff from Queenswood School who have just enjoyed 12 superb days in Costa Rica.

It is no exaggeration to say that our visit to your beautiful country exceeded our expectations in every way.

We found the Costa Rican Language Academy to be run extremely professionally, from the provision of free water, juice and coffee to the excellent standard of teaching and the small number of students in each class. I know that every one of our pupils appreciated the enthusiasm and dedication of the teachers and that they thoroughly enjoyed their lessons - whether Spanish language, salsa or cookery.

Similarly, the host families were without exception friendly, welcoming and patient. Several of our students formed close relationships with their Costa Rican 'mamás' and were very sad to have to return home. I, myself, much appreciated my host family - Amalia and Gerardo - and felt fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet such warm and kind people.

We thoroughly enjoyed all the visits that we did and we very much appreciated your flexibility when we asked for last minute changes. All the guides with whom we came into contact were interesting and caring. I would never have believed it possible to learn so much in so short a time.

I firmly believe that our students' experiences in Costa Rica will have changed their understanding of the world for the better and I cannot recommend highly enough your organisation. I very much hope that we will be able to return in the future.

Yours sincerely

Jane Gandee

Head of Languages

I have been in the travel industry for seven years and Costa Rica is a country I wish to return to over and over. Your school is now my family too!

Sherilyn Fraess, Saskatoon, Canada

This is the second time in my adult life, that I can share all my thoughts and my feelings in a real community, aside from my own family. Everyone at the Costa Rican Language Academy : administrators, families, employees, teachers and students all make up a unified family with the main goal of developing the communication ability in Spanish, and for some also in cooking and dancing.

Marcel Bouvier, Quebec, Canada

In my whole life (I am 42 years old) I have never met better, nicer or more interested teachers than at the CRLA. I had only had 20 hours of Spanish lessons before my visit to Costa Rica, but after 48 lessons at the CRLA I was able to understand almost everything in everyday conversation and I felt a lot more confident when speaking the language.

You find all kinds of people at the school: young, old, couples, singles from all over the world, but most important you find: people who are there for the same reasons as you: to learn Spanish and often also to see beautiful Costa Rica. You will be almost certain to find someone to travel with if you want to. And the school staff offers great service, they will book tickets, trips and hotels for you.

I will always consider both the family and the people at the school as my friends and I already plan to return to Costa Rica, hopefully in November this year. If you have some questions about the CRLA I'd be pleased to answer them.

...The people of Costa Rica won me over. The teachers and staff at the academy became my nuclear family- so much so that a typical day at school for me lasts from 9am-5:30 or 6pm. I just won´t go home! I really love this school!

The teachers are A-1 and really know their stuff. I´ve learned a lot more than just grammar from my Spanish teacher, Gilberto. We discuss literature, history, science, folklore, etc. He really tailored the class to fit my interests and those of the other students (when there were others) and made it a pleasure to learn. In the cooking class (and outside of it, too) I learned to make many Costa Rican dishes. Isabelle is always around to answer questions and give recipes, advice or comfort. And as for the dance class... let´s just say that I´m an addict! Not a day goes by that I´m not in the group class- in addition to my daily private lesson. I´ve danced professionally (salsa) before I came here, but Rafael has significantly raised my level of performance...

All the staff are very generous with their time and resources and are always willing to call around to find out prices, make reservations, etc. for my crazy projects or travel plans. It´s a big help. And they´re very flexible with scheduling and payment. Nothing is set in stone- unlike some other local language schools. I have friends in two of the larger schools and they can´t believe everything that we get here for the same price (or less). I´m just glad that I made a good choice of schools; it´s really hard to tell the difference just looking at WEB pages.

Of course, you only get out of it what you put into it. There are many opportunities here to learn and meet wonderful new people, but it´s up to the individual to take them. For me, all it was was a small investment of time- 3 ½ months. But really, just 3 ½ months to gain friendships that will last a lifetime. Friendships with people who don´t understand english, but don´t need to because I speak Spanish now and we understand each other just fine.

I wholeheartedly recommend this school and would be happy to answer any questions that anyone might have. I hope that my letter helps you to make your decision and who knows? maybe I´ll see you down there. I plan on going back...

Elisa Llamido, California, USA

My husband and I had a rich and rewarding experience this last four weeks. Not only did we study and speak Spanish for 4-5 hours per day with some of the most patient, involved and professional instructors we have ever had the occasion to meet, but we also had the opportunity to explore the beauty of the land, learn to cook Costa Rican style, and dance the salsa with the champion dancers of the country.

We heartily recommend the school to anyone interested in learning to speak Spanish and in immersing themselves in the culture of a lovely people.

Mary & Tom Burton, Santa Fe, New Mexico, U.S.A.

Hi! I am just arriving from a three week immersion and training in San José. Following the recommendation from your book readers, I chose to enroll at CRLA. My expectations were high. I was not disappointed, far from it. The commitment and professionalism of the professors, the quality and the flexibility of this school is material for textbook in management and education. As the school was closed for Good Thursday and Good Friday in this very Catholic country, and as I wanted private classes for these days, it took thirty seconds to open the school for me and find a teacher willing to take me. Even more, that teacher made sure with my regular teacher that their lessons would be coordinated.

You can see that the whole experience is coordinated and integrated from the moment the taxi driver from the school picks you up at the airport and starts to teach you Spanish! My home stay is an experience I will cherish the rest of my life also.

Thanks for your sound recommendation and for keeping listening to your readers and conveying their experience.

I'm interested in taking a Spanish course and wanted to know about your experience in Costa Rica. Thanks in advance. Helen.

1) Did you find the course beneficial? I FOUND THE COURSE VERY, VERY "MUCHO BUENO" BENEFICIAL. I AM ABLE, WITH SOME HESITATION, TO ORDER FOOD, TELL THE TAXI WHERE TO GO, GET HOTEL RESERVATIONS, BUY THINGS........ AND I COULD ONLY SAY 'HOLA' BEFORE.
2) How was your stay? MY STAY WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! CRLA MADE IT FOR ME. THEY SET UP SOME SIDE TRIPS, GAVE ME VERY GOOD DIRECTIONS IN HOW, WHERE, WHEN TO GO PLACES. THEY EVEN MADE A COUPLE OF PHONE CALLS FOR ME AS TO RESERVATIONS AT THE ARENAL VOLCANO RESORT. AND THEY ARRANGED THE SHUTTLE RIDE THERE AND BACK FOR ME. ALSO I HAVE TAKEN MY GRAND-DAUGHTER WITH ME AND THE SCHOOL HELPED ME FIND A FAMILY TO STAY WITH WHO DID NOT MIND THAT KAITLYN (GRANDDAUGHTER) WAS WITH ME (SHE IS 5). ONE OF THE STAFF MEMBERS EVEN KEPT KAITLYN ONE DAY FOR ME WHEN SHE DID NOT WANT TO STAY AT THE SCHOOL WITH ME.
3) How long was the program that you took? I HAVE BEEN TO CR ON FOUR OCCASIONS AND HAVE TAKEN THE FOUR DAY, THREE HOUR CLASS EACH TIME. ON MY NEXT TRIP IN EARLY AUGUST I WILL MOST LIKELY TAKE PRIVATE CLASS WITH THEM..
4) Would you go again? If so, would you stay longer or shorter? I AM GOING AGAIN. THIS TIME I WILL PROBABLY STAY A LITTLE LONGER AND TAKE THE PRIVATE CLASSES.
5) What other things did you like about the program or stay? THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS THAT I LIKED. THE HELP AND ASSISTANCE I GOT WAS SO VERY HELPFUL AND SEEMED TO BE GIVEN WITHOUT HESITATION AND WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. IN OTHERWORDS THEY SEEMED TO WANT TO DO WHATEVER THEY COULD TO MAKE MY STAY A POSITIVE ONE. THE HOUSE WHERE I STAYED WAS VERY NICE ALSO. THE FAMILY WAS QUITE HELPFUL IN TALKING WITH ME IN SPANISH AND WE LAUGHTED TOGETHER WHEN I MADE SOME RATHER EMBARRASSING MISS USE OF THE LANGUAGE. THE FOOD WAS GOOD. ALWAYS PLENTY - GOOD CAFE' CON LECHE. ARROZ CON FRIJOLES, PAPAS FRITAS, ETC. AND THEY HAD US IN A ROOM WITH OUR PRIVATE BATHROOM AND SHOWER (WITH THE SUICIDE SHOWER - YOU WILL KNOW WHAT THAT IS WHEN YOU GET THERE - IT'S AN AMERICAN JOKE) AND A PRIVATE TV AND WE (KATE AND I) HAD THE RUN OF THE HOUSE, OUR OWN KEY, ETC. IN TOTAL I LOVED THE VISITS, KAIT WANTS TO GO BACK AND LIVE THERE 'FOREVER', AND WE WILL GO BACK. ACTUALLY I AM PLANNING TO VIST EVERY FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS OR MORE.

I DO NOT HESITATE TO HIGHLY RECOMMEND CRLA TO ANYONE….

Raymond Van Der Meer, San Antonio, Texas, U.S.A.

Hello, My name is Brian Highfill. I was enrolled in your school for 4 weeks ( returned home August 13). I'm sorry I took so long to e-mail you but I wanted to let you know that I had so much fun. I stayed just a few blocks away at the Aparthotel Los Yoses so I didn't have to walk far. The school was great, the teachers were absolutely fantastic. I went with my aunt and uncle, and I did make the mistake of not staying with a family, although when I come back I will. The educational part of the school was great also; my teachers ( Maria, Cindy, and Stephanie) were so good about narrowing things down and not rushing me, and making sure I would always understand. I have nothing but good things to say to people who ask about it, and plan to return to your school next summer to continue learning, I still study the workbooks you provided me with.

Thanks again!

Brian Highfill, Elkhorn, Nebraska, U.S.A.

Dear CRLA,

I just want to thank you for one of my best vacation experiences. Although I only had a short time in Costa Rica, from when I landed to the end of my stay, EVERYTHING was so well planned and organized. From the airport pick-up, to the family, to the school - everyone has truly made me feel welcome, and at ease into the transition to another country and culture.

I also learned so much. From never opening a Spanish book in my life, to be able to carry on a conversation (small one) is awesome! Also the salsa class was so much fun. Thanks for having different levels. It made it much easier and more exciting when I was taught a truly complex move.

So thank you, thank you, thank you. I definitely enjoyed my experience, my host family, and my newly spoken Spanish abilities. I truly hope to find some more time to come back very soon!

Jason Dinter, Arlington, VA, U.S.A.

Greetings--

Having completed four weeks at your school, I am more impressed than ever. Since I've been able to do just one week at a time over a year, I thought I might be a problem. But each time I've come back, your staff has placed me exactly with the right teacher to work with me where I was, and to take me forward from there to learn more that I ever thought I could learn in one week.

Stephanie was my first profesora. What a delightful, sparkling teacher she was, as I began my journey into your beautiful language. She was so patient and so helpful. She truly inspired me to go on.

Osvaldo continued the work with this viejo, sharing much about the arts in Costa Rica, and helping me so much during an unfortunate accident on a field trip. He taught with much humor and caring.

Anna inspired me in other ways. Her superb teaching of the basics was interspersed with her deep knowledge of Costa Rican life and history. Anna's teaching was so eloquent, so clear, so thoughtful. Her rich personality was a gift.

Speaking of gifts, the big gift of CRLA is the diversity of teachers who help us in so many different ways.

In my most recent visit I needed to carefully review what I learned during the past weeks and to fill in the gaps. Karla was all business, staying with the book and helping me and the other viejo. She was so patient, unafraid to use repetition and drills to make sure we understood.

After each week I completed at CRLA I was amazed at how much I had learned. And I learned much from every teacher, especially because they all shared their gifts in different ways.

In every visit I was enriched by the experience of being with other students from so many other countries-and from the great climate, the awesome beauty, the friendly people of Costa Rica.

Many thanks to my teachers, to Laura, who has always been so helpful in so many ways, and to you founders who have created a place that feels always like a family.

I'm sorry that I'm not able to write this letter in Spanish. But I know that with more time at your wonderful academy I will!

Gracias, y pura vida,
Pablo
Paul DesRochers
