Learn Spanish Faster in Costa Rica

Learn Spanish Faster in Costa Rica With Traditional Cooking Recipes!

These students are learning Spanish in Costa Rica and they are learning Spanish faster than most.  Why is that?  They are taking Spanish classes in Costa Rica at SEPA Spanish Language School where Spanish is taught through interests and experiences, instead of just seat time in a classroom.

Don’t get me wrong – you need some seat time, but if that’s all you’re getting, that’s as far as you’re going to get.  At SEPA Spanish Language School students learn through fun strategies: entertaining lessons, real life situations, volunteer work and adventure.

Where Do ‘Traditional Cooking Recipes’ Fit in With ‘Learn Spanish Faster?’

It’s been a long proven fact that people learn faster when they are doing things they enjoy.  When food is involved, well, say no more!  But SEPA uses more than just cooking classes to get their students’ Spanish juices flowing.

Meaningful volunteer work, sports activities, field trips, and homestay with a Costa Rican family, are all essential ingredients of the learning recipe that SEPA Language School teachers cook up for their students every day. Get your Spanish juices flowing through ACTION!

And what do you suppose will happen?  You’ll learn Spanish faster!

Try out our delicious traditional Costa Rican cooking recipe for ‘Pan Casero’ (Homemade sweet bread)

Preheat the oven at 350.

4 cups flour

1 cup sugar

2 teaspoons of baking powder

1-1/2 bar of soft butter or margarine

8 heaping teaspoons of sour cream (or ½ cup sour cream)

Mix with your hands until it is all as even as you can get it.

Then add 5 teaspoons of milk and mix with your hands.

Add 2 more and mix with your hands.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and mix with your hands.

Add 4 more teaspoons of milk and mix with your hands.

Only add as much milk as you need until it all sticks together.

Knead the dough ball until it is well mixed.

Roll a piece between your hands to make it long.

Put it in a pretzel shape and then pat it flat (so you really can hardly see the pretzel shape.)

Grease a cookie sheet with margarine and sprinkle with flour.

Cook at 350 degrees. Take it out of oven when it is golden and done.
