"Had a great time at the Personalized Spanish school in Costa Rica!"

Marianne van Es, student from Netherlands

Being the only student at my level I had private lessons during my first week at the school. The teaching was excellent!
In retrospect I would have preferred a more lively location of the school, it is very beautiful in a very quiet village, not much to do.

The housing could not have been better, enjoyed my homestay very much.

Thanks for your review of Personalized Spanish! We enjoy hearing that you liked your time with us!

"A phenomenal week of instruction by a professor who adapted his skills to my needs."

Matthew R. Lindsley

10 years ago I studied at Personalized Spanish as an intermediate Spanish speaker, and achieved an advanced level. I have fond memories of the friendships I built with the staff and other students. Upon returning, I envisioned a school which was different from 2003. I found that the school has changed, but only for the better! And it has kept the same mission- to deliver tailored Spanish lessons to all students, young or old.

My instructor, Ariel, encouraged me to converse openly. He was comfortable going off topic to allow me to express my thoughts and opinions, and still worked in the grammar lessons I requested. He kept the atmosphere comfortable and modified plans when I wanted to work harder in one area over another.

I felt safe in the neighborhood and at home with the host family. We watched The Voice and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in Spanish, and I thought to myself, "This is what I would be doing at home, and I'm doing it here in Costa Rica!" I talked with my host familiy about politics, the environment, and the economy. They were so welcoming and friendly. I miss our talks and sharing stories.

I highly recommend those who want to excel in learning Spanish to spend at least a week at Personalized Spanish. The staff are able to accommodate any needs you may have from airport pick up to dietary restrictions. The school activities are fun, educational, and well organized. I wish I could have stayed a month!

Thanks a lot for your review. We tried to make people feel comfortable while they are having fun learning a language.

For us a student needs to be involved in the culture as much as possible in order to felt in love with the language, we are glad that you did!

We hope to see you back in Costa Rica soon!
