Tuve una experiencia excelente en Tico Lingo. El proceso de aprendizaje en la escuela es genial: las clases en grupo me ayudaron muchísimo a ganar la confianza que necesitaba para soltarme a hablar español. Además, las excursiones de fin de semana estuvieron súper bien organizadas y fueron una forma perfecta de conocer Costa Rica mientras practicaba el idioma fuera del aula. Mención especial para mi familia anfitriona en Heredia, que me hizo sentir como en casa desde el primer día y convirtió cada comida en una oportunidad para conversar. Me gustó tanto la experiencia que definitivamente voy a regresar pronto por más tiempo. ¡Totalmente recomendada!

Tico Lingo was such an awesome experience! Not only did I my Spanish improve, but I met a lot of great people in the program. The school also has a ton of fun activities to do, like dance/yoga classes, lunches with other students, and fun tours around the country. The family I was placed with was the sweetest. They were so welcoming to me and always made sure I was comfortable. We’d spend a lot of time hanging out, and they’d help me with my Spanish. In the classroom, my professor Marcela was the best instructor Pará mi, and she helped my confidence with speaking grow every day. Tico Lingo was everything I imagined it to be and more!

I had the pleasure of being in Costa Rica for 3 weeks through Tico Lingo. It was the best experience! I stayed with a host family who were amazing and so hospitable! My madre tico made the best food and my padre tico was very helpful with my homework and practicing my Spanish. I had the best teacher at Tico Lingo, Freddy. He was so knowledgeable not only in Spanish but also English. This was very helpful when he would teach us the grammar and break it down on how it relates to English. He was also very funny! I was always laughing in his class while also learning a lot. I will miss Tico Lingo and all of the amazing friends I made from all over the United States while being there. Rosi at the reception was also so helpful and kind and Yami made the best food and was so nice and funny as well! All around a fantastic staff!

Thoroughly enjoyed my one week at Tico Lingo! Zaida González, my teacher, was fun, patient, and is just a lovely human. Rosi, who coordinates all things school related, is professional and organized. There were fun school activities (free and paid). I especially enjoyed our one hour of free salsa dancing lesson.

Thank you so much for the amazing experience you provided for my son. He spent four weeks in full Spanish immersion, learning for seven hours every day. The program included unforgettable trips to volcanoes and waterfalls, as well as shared lunches with the group that made the experience even more special. The results have been incredible—he can now speak Spanish fluently. We are truly grateful for your dedication, encouragement, and the wonderful environment you created. Thank you for making this such a meaningful and life-changing experience!
