Do You Have A Desire To Study Another Language

By Elenor Q. Reynolds

Are you trying to learn another language but it is really not creating anything but frustration? Why not come to Costa Rica and take advantage of the opportunity of being completely immersed within a Spanish culture? It is a once in a life time experience, that cannot be missed!

If you are attracted to the nature and beauty of this wonderful world in which we live, then studying Spanish in this tropical paradise will be perfect for you. Why not book your chosen course today and before you know it, you will not only be studying but you will be living a life changing experience!

There are an abundance of Spanish schools to choose from here in Costa Rica, but from experience I would highly recommend CPI (Centro Panamericano de Idiomas) Spanish Immersion School. It is made up of three spectacular schools and each school is located in a highly, unique place. Why not make the most of being able to divide your studies and time between heaven and well, I suppose heaven and heaven!

The first campus is located in San Joaquin de Flores, Which is a typical Costa Rican town set in the suburbs of Hall and only a 30 minute drive to the capital, San Jose. It is perfect for those who want to be located in a peaceful community and yet be within easy reach of the big, bustling city. The school grounds compromise of a gorgeous garden in which to relax between classes and there is a ping pong table, mini soccer pitch and basketball court for those active ones!

The second campus is perched on a green mountain top between the small, Tico (Costa Rican people) town of Santa Elena and the famous Quaker village of Monteverde, however the area is best known as 'Monteverde'. The area consists of extensive cloud forests , wondrous wildlife, panoramic views and spectacular sunsets. One of the best viewing points in Monteverde is actually located right in front of the school. Imagine bringing an end to a day of Spanish classes, to work out in the mini gym and a long soak in the jacuzzi, with the picture perfect sunset!

CPI Flamingo is located in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica, which is notorious for its stretches of white, pristine beaches and crystal, blue waters. The Flamingo area has a slight Northern American feel to it, so take a trip to the nearby typical Costa Rican towns. The school has a place to play basketball and ping pong. If you want to relax and cool down then why not take advantage of the swimming pool. However, if you want to go out and about then take a 5 minute walk to Flamingo Beach.

You can begin your Spanish program when you want and the duration of the course is a completely personal choice. The specialized Spanish programs are tailored to suit individual needs and if you decide you want to study at all three schools then the transition is nothing but a smooth and might I say 'adventurous' ride!

In addition to organizing your Spanish Program, CPI is also on hand to sort out where you will be staying. If you want to be fully immersed within the Costa Rican culture then a stay home would be perfect for you. However, if like your own space then do not worry, as CPI has its own tasteful apartments, They are equipped with bathroom and kitchen and within walking distance of each school.

Don't forget that apart from learning Spanish at CPI you need to make time for adventure. Take advantage of the many tours and activities and reveal Costa Rica's true beauty! It is a unique country offering a wide variety of terrain and climate suiting all needs!
