Super Spanish School and Program

I would definitely recommend Tico Lingo for learning Spanish. The leadership, Chris and Yeni, are dedicated to the school and your success. If you have a question, an issue, or any concern, they want to know about it and will address it.

I had two teachers in two weeks and enjoyed their different approaches. The other students were 100% enjoyable to interact with and learn Spanish with. The school itself (both locations) is a pleasant place to hang out after classes and study or socialize.

The school offers weekend tours or you can book your own. These were more expensive than I would have expected, but I'm glad I did them.

I spend a day on my own in San Jose, museums, shopping, National Theatre, and that was quite a bit cheaper and pretty fun also.

Heredia itself is a pleasant enough town, plenty of shopping, gyms, etc. and opportunities to try to speak in Spanish. I wouldn't say it is a particularly attractive town and it is definitely noisy at times and probably not great air quality on the streets, but overall it was always safe and friendly.

My homestay was great, fun family, good food and a comfortable bedroom. I am only giving it a "4" because it was sometimes noisy with train horns, barking dogs, and mopeds, but overall it was good and a super way to get extra Spanish practice. Highly recommend it.
