Beautiful Spanish school Past Review

By (University of Western Australia) - abroad from 10/30/2017 to 11/10/2017 with

Academia Tica Spanish Language School: Spanish Courses in Coronado and Jacó Beach

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
In general, I'm more than satisfied with the experience. I was there for two wonderful weeks and I learned more than I thought I could learn. The teachers are warm people and the school staff very friendly and helpful. The campus is surrounded by nature which gave me a feeling of peace and tranquility, optimal to learn more easily.
