About
On January in Costa Rica, you will study Spanish at a local university in bustling San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. You’ll have local, Costa Rican professors and classmates from across the US and around the world. What a great way to have a truly international experience! There’s no better way to learn a language than to immerse yourself in it, so take classes at a local university, practice with your host family over dinner, and talk to locals at cafés, markets, and in the salsa clubs. You’ll be minutes from the heart of San Jose, so you can easily explore the city, as well as the beautiful nearby national parks, picturesque mountain villages, and relaxed beach towns that make Costa Rica famous! And to top it all off, you can trade your winter jacket for some shades!
