Greetings from Munich!
Thanks again for the great time I have had in Costa Rica!

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

As for example the room and you know what? One of the nicest things were also the coffee breaks, apart of the language course of course…. Because, during that time we (other students and me) have also learned a lot about the people of Costa Rica. In addition, also the nice tour to Heredia was very interesting. To see a suburb from Costa Rica, to see the different life than the one from San Jose. Means, in the end we got also some ideas about how they manage their life and, there was always this nice feeling of "Pura Vida".

Thank you for all the organization of the business traveling. I have decided on business trips in Italy and Germany to make vacation and to come to Costa Rica for a Spanish Course and some country side seeing. However, you reacted very fast on my email request, you tried to reach me by telephone and to gave me the latest update news. Because, I admit, my requests were a little special, I wanted to stay in a certain part of San Jose because of some friends living there. I was trying to organize flights in parallel. But, you were able to find me the best solution regarding hotel location vs. school and the location of the friends. And, all went smooth also regarding to book the classes. Than, there was the problem that my plane arrived late, luggage due to my ling and special traveling route lost for some days. You were nevertheless waiting at the airport, you helped me to buy some new stuff in a shopping mal. This is more than someone could expect.

Thank you very much again for the very nice time I have had in Costa Rica. If you ever come to Germany than it will be a pleasure to offer me this time as tourist guide for you.

If you like, than you can also publish my letter and email contact at your school.
For example, if some other students would like to have some objective reference for some additional information.

Best regards and greetings from Munich

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 each morning and supper was a very important time. It 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
