Live With A Family To Learn Spanish in Costa Rica
http://www.spanish-school-costarica.com/blog/How does living with a family to learn Spanish help me learn Spanish faster?
“Even if you try to come without expectations, everybody has expectations. But within the first few hours, these expectations fly right out the window,” says Karen Rosebaugh, former high school English teacher and SEPA Spanish Language School student from Washington, USA. As our students have noted before, living with a homestay family from these unique, friendly Costa Rican people dumps you straight into a whole new world of family love, people eager to help you learn their beautiful language and beautiful ways. You are forced to dig tracks from neuron to neuron because everything you need depends upon speaking in Spanish.
“I thought I was well-traveled before I came to Costa Rica and lived with a family. My first Sunday here, there was a huge family gathering. I met all these family members, and all of them have kids, and there are so many people and so much love. I try to remember all the names until the next big gathering which is the next Sunday, and the next Sunday.” It’s the difference between looking at culture and living in a culture. There is no comparison.
During Spanish classes you study the language you need at home and at home you practice the language you learned at school. It is a perfect cycle of learn, use, wonder, ask, learn, use, wonder, ask…and so on.
How do I keep learning Spanish after I leave?
The beauty of SEPA Spanish School is that your learning doesn’t have to stop when you leave town. Our Spanish online program supports your progress, keeps you moving forward into that fabulous world of knowing another language, able to share your life and knowledge with people of another culture.
Why is learning Spanish so fun?
People learn Spanish for all different reasons. But when it comes right down to it, it’s just plain fantastic to be able to speak another language. Every time you help somebody with your new Spanish, every time you make a connection with another person, every time you solve a problem that you could not have fixed no way, no how without knowing this beautiful language, you feel such a thrill of victory!
Come join us at SEPA Spanish Language School in beautiful Costa Rica. We’ve got a family right here who can’t wait to take you in and make you one of theirs.
