Fortunately now it is easy to keep in touch with new friends from CRLA and earthquakes are always short and not very strong. Thanks again for your feedback.

CRLA is a wonderful school. I've studied abroad a couple of times, and this school was top notch. They coordinated everything from an inviting home-stay to weekend travel plans, plus the additional classes like cooking and dance that were offered at the end of the school day. At other schools I've had to pay extra for these services, but at CRLA, everything was included and fabulous. I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience. Also, for any first-time travelers to a Latin-American country, Costa Rica is a wonderful place to start. It's a small, safe, and culturally-rich country with a fair number of English speakers, so it is definitely not intimidating and easy to navigate if you are concerned about your Spanish skills or just security in general.

I am so impressed with CRLA. It is well situated in a nice neighborhood by bus lines and Mall San Pedro. The school itself is really nice with a beautiful courtyard. Most students stay with families that are 20 minutes away by bus. San Jose Central is a short bus ride away. CRLA is an extremely well run organization. They have designed an excellent curriculum. The classes are a mix of learning grammar and vocabulary and then games, listening exercises and discussions. It really helps break up the time so that the hours go by quickly. Class act! My hats off to Laura who is one of the directors and the management.The coordination of classes was well managed. What I was very pleased about is how they manage to get people in the right level of classes and move as necessary. I personally felt that my oral exam wasn’t that good but then I found that the placement was at the right level. They also seem to keep the younger (i.e. high school) students in different classes than the adults which I was very pleased about. I’m not really sure how they do it… We had one incident when a woman was placed in our class but she appeared to be at a higher level. They corrected it immediately. Mariana does a great job.The classes are small. My class varied from one to four people. It is great to have the time to practice. I had the best teacher. Her name is Paula Borrás. She keeps the class going and makes it fun. In our discussions, we learned about Costa Rica and its cultural while applying the Spanish we were learning. She is very well organized and very patient. We students spoke slowly as we searched for the right words. Paula is always encouraging and caring. I’ve learned so much with her. And she’s beautiful! I feel lucky to have had her as a teacher.It takes more than a good curriculum and good teachers to run a language school. CRLA exceeds at making sure the students are well taken care of. The students vary in age from adolescences to retired people. I am an adult and would feel very comfortable sending my children here – the young people are in good hands. While enrolling in the school from home, the arrangements were well taken care of thanks to Anabel. The first day of school, the family goes with you to the school and picks you up. There is a comprehensive orientation by Moisis that includes things like how to get the bus, where to change money, travel ideas and, most importantly, safety. The front desk is always helpful with anything be it arranging excursions, tracking my lost things, keeping in touch with the families etc. Monica, Cristina and Lorenzo are great! I am truly amazed that everyone seemed to know all the students by name – and there are lots of students coming and going. Dance classes with Luis were lots of fun. He has great energy and manages the different levels in the class.I couldn’t have wished for more with my home stay - thanks to Hazel for making the arrangements. I stayed with Carmen Duran in Vargas Araya – 20 minutes by bus. Her house is not the fanciest but it is a home filled with love and caring. There were two 16 year old German boys in the house whose Spanish was minimal. Carmen took care of them like they were her own children. She knew when they left for a weekend trip and when they were coming back. Somehow there seemed to be no problem with communication even though Carmen doesn’t speak English. Food and love was always awaiting us when we got home from school. She always sat with us at the table and conversed. Even when the boys were there without me, Carmen talked with/at them and their Spanish improved as a result. I spoke and learned a lot of Spanish at Carmen’s dining table. We spoke for an hour a day even though my Spanish needs a lot of work. I loved spending time with her. She and her niece Montserrat took me to a rustic restaurant in San Ramon that I never would have gone to. Another day, we went to her son’s Juan Carlos house for lunch in the beautiful San Ysidro. It was a wonderful day with the family. I will miss Doña Carmen and CRLA!

I spent 4 weeks in Costa Rica attending CRLA and doing their homestay program and I loved EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF IT!! I just returned home and I am already planning my next visit to them! I would recommend this school and this program to anyone who wants to learn Spanish by full immersion. I didn't know much Spanish when I went, and left knowing more than I thought I would. I fell in love with the country and plan to move there sometime in the near future. Thanks to CRLA for a once in a lifetime experience! Pura Vida!

I just finished 2 weeks at the CRLA school in december 2013. I have been to many spanish schools in several countries such as Peru,Argentina,Mexico and uruguay. CRLA by far has been the best for learning spanish and student services such as assistance in travel arrangements, student housing and local entertainment. I have been to this school several times starting several years ago after looking at the other options in costa rica. The owners are the same and have continued improving the school. The professors are excellent and teach at what ever level best benifits the students. They are professional and nice both in and out of class. The staff is friendly and helpful as well helping with trasportation and serving a great lunch daily. I learned a lot and will go back to continue improving my spanish level. Highly recommended for both beginners and more advanced.Pat paddito@hotmail.com

I was at CRLA only for 2 weeks, but it was amazing. Each morning the staff greeted the students (they knew all of our names!!!) and we had a little chat. All of them were super friendly!!! The teachers were awesome (i say this as a teacher-to-be ;)). The host families were amazing too. Especially my costarican Brother :)The staff helped to book bustickets and hotels for the weekend and gave us good advice. I will return for a few months in summer and i am really looking forward to it! :)
