"Unbelievable what I learned in one month"

The homestay was wonderful...the combination with traveling makes this the best way to explore Costa Rica. .... Pura Vida finds the tours for you that fit every budget, one day tours or overnight.. just great!...

Muchas gracias, Margarita from Holland!

Hi Everyone...

"I enjoyed my week of Spanish classes at Pura Vida Language Institute and highly recommend the school to others. I wish I could have stayed longer. My teacher was excellent and provided one-on-one instruction to me.  

The staff at the school was very helpful and accommodating. Costa Rica is a beautiful country to visit and the people are very nice. One visit to Costa Rica is not adequate to take in all of the beauty there. I have attached a picture of me at Rio Celeste"

Hello...

"I am going to leave Costa Rica Wednesday. I learned more in two weeks with my teacher than from my three years of classes in The United States!

And also speaking with Cecilia (my homestay host) each morning and supper was a very important time. I  feel very prepared from my trip to Costa Rica. And everyone says that my Spanish is very good! I know that I he had a very different experience from the typical tourist who does not speak the language"
 

Many thanks,

Noel

"I would like to say thank you because I really enjoyed going to class. Even if sometimes there was the difficult decision; should have even more tours to go around this beautiful country or to be a "good" student and go to class to learn Spanish. And, yes, during the week I went to class…. Because, I liked it very much, the teaching style, very flexible and adaptive...., very interactive with the students. The school taking care about a really nice and lovely environment."

Best regards and greetings from Munich
