Description

At the beginning you will take a placement test so that you are placed in a learning group according to your level. The groups are usually between 2-8 students. The local teachers have many years of experience and you will experience varied lessons with lots of exercises to help you get to know the language quickly.

Activities: Once a week there is a cooking course in which you will cook local dishes. Do you already know “Gallo Pinto”? This dish is one of the most popular dishes among Ticos. At the beginning, you can take part in an orientation lesson in which you will receive information about the country, the people and your immediate surroundings. If you have any questions, you can of course contact the local staff at any time. Of course, you can go on excursions and activities on site, such as surfing, canopying or visiting waterfalls. There are no lessons during local public holidays.

Ideal for all programs are at least three months in advance. In principle it is also possible for us to place short-term applicants (volunteering and language study travel) in Costa Rica.

Costa Rica is a safe country and the people are very friendly and warmhearted. In big cities, as in every big city in the world, there is petty crime. When travelling, the following things should be taken into account: always keep an eye on valuables, always keep your hand luggage on your lap in buses, and at night you should not travel by bus or withdraw money from ATMs. Up-to-date information on the situation can be found at the Embassy or Foreign Office.

Please note that in Costa Rica all electronic devices can only be used with an adapter. They are available in many electronics stores.

Depending on the program, we work with host families in the vicinity or there are volunteer houses at the project site.
