Family & Kids Program – Samara Beach Campus: We absolutely fell in love with Intercultura and can’t wait to come again.  We took classes for 2 weeks and all of our teachers were very thoughtful, engaging, and talented.  I made giant leaps in my Spanish skills, but more importantly, my kids couldn’t get enough.  My 9 year old daughter had been in a dual-language immersion school in the U.S. for 3 years and had never spoken Spanish in front of me.  If I spoke in Spanish to her, she would get frustrated and ask me to please speak in English.  After just one week at Intercultura, she was happily chatting with me in Spanish and asked me if we could keep speaking in Spanish together in the U.S..  She even got up in front of the entire school to read a poem in Spanish.  My 7 year old son, who had been more comfortable learning Spanish, made huge gains, and he felt confident leaving my side to go into class every day.  That was a huge surprise and definitely a testament to how well he bonded with his teacher.  We loved the empanadas and casadas available for purchase during breaks, the excursions, and the cultural immersion classes/language practice available after school.  We felt fully immersed in both the beautiful language and the culture of Costa Rica.
