This place is an absolutely amazing location to learn Spanish- it is literally directly on the most gorgeous beach! They offer everything from kids classes, to adult beginners, to all levels of adult advance. I think they also teach Portuguese, though I don’t know that anyone was studying that the week we were there. The teachers are friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. Lots of opportunities to make friends with other students. Although we don’t use them, the school also provides on site accommodations and host family stays. The school also provides free classes like yoga and cooking, and also will help you book any activities that you can think of. They are a unique program for children in that they have enough students to divide by ages and abilities instead of just ability. The kid program also goes on field trips, like buying fruit and the kids get to use their Spanish in real life.

Great experience, teachers are very nice, got to meet a lot of other students from all around the world. Staff is also amazing. The premises are very nice and a lot of activities are offered. Only downside for me was the location - I was expecting a quieter suburb of San Jose. The school is near to many facilities, which is nice, but it is in a very busy area (many cars, taxis and buses). Otherwise, I spent 2 lovely weeks there. (I stayed in the school apartment, very clean and equipped with all you need to have a nice stay, but again it is in a very busy part of town).

My wife and I attended Spanish language school at Intercultura in November, 2022; 2 weeks at the campus in Heredia and 2 weeks at the campus on Playa Sámara. Intercultura is an excellent, professionally run language school, staffed by friendly, helpful, and welcoming people. We worked hard and learned a ton. I cannot imagine a more positive experience than the one we had. If you are going to take the time and expense to attend a language school in a Spanish speaking country, this is the one. Pick your scene; urban in Heredia or on the beach in Sámara. Either way, you will be in a top notch school in one of the nicest places on earth - Costa Rica. Tambien, gracias a todos en Intercultura. !Los extrañamos!

What an incredible experience going to Intercultura, both Heredia and Samara! Both campuses were well equipped and the staff were amazing. The homestay experience exceeded my expectations and I cannot wait to return.

My experience at Intercultural Costa Rica Spanish Schools exceeded my expectations in every way. I learned more Spanish in one week than I thought possible! As a former professor I worried about the teaching quality but I found all the professors at Intercultura to be highly trained professionals who are organized, patient and caring. I stayed in the apartment provided by the school and the accommodation was comfortable, attractive and very clean. As an adult I wondered if I would fit in as a student, but I found friendly fellow students from a wide age range. We all learned and had fun together including learning to dance salsa! Being in Heredia you are immersed in a Spanish language community so you have many opportunities to interact with the local residents and use your newly learned Spanish. I will be back!

From the moment I arrived and Giovanna (who may be the hardest working staff member at the school!) greeted me until I said goodbye to Marcello, the staff and faculty of Intercultura treated me like a dear family member!
The teachers, (Ileana was my group teacher and I had private classes with Lourdes and Jesus), were talented, professional and committed! They have access to enriching materials, resources and games which they utilize. They are skilled with the smartboard. But, mostly, they just seem to love the students and really want us to learn. They are so patient. All the lessons were interesting and fun.
My group class was friendly and we enjoyed learning together.
The activities were fun and the scheduling was well organized.
I am middle-aged. I'd say most students were college aged, but there were younger students and many students my age and older. And, it didn't matter. This lovely school attracts really nice people. I enjoyed meeting and hanging out with the other students of all ages.
I had a wonderful time! Thank you to everybody at Intercultura for a wonderful experience! Gracias por todo!

The school advertises that they will find volunteer assignments-I went during school holidays and the one position they had was a 1 1/2 hour round trip from the school. I thought that was too much to ask for a 4 hour a day assignment. I was disappointed.

Hi Norm,
Thanks for your feedback. International volunteering is a very rewarding experience and more often than not, the volunteers receive more benefit than the actual organization. This is due to the fact that there is a lot of preparation, organization, and logistics to be planned, not to mention orientations and training once at said location. This being said, most of our volunteer projects and student volunteers plan for these experiences and commitments months in advance. At this moment we have over 20 volunteers working throughout Costa Rica. Often times these programs are not located in close proximity to our actual campuses, and they entail dormitory lodging and or homestays in other parts of the country, to lessen the burden of a daily commute.
In your case, it sounds like the opportunity available for that time given did not meet your expectations and we are sorry that it was not the right fit given your availability and convenience. As I mentioned previously, these programs generally take months of planning. In the future, you may try volunteering in your own way to help make the world a better place: neighborhood or beach cleanups are always an easy way to give back, and they set a good example. Plus, you don’t need to organize anything, one person can make a difference in their time, in their own way.
We hope this helps.

I came to Intercultura to brush up on my Spanish skills and I was able to do that and so much more. My classes were exactly what I needed. Small class size allowed for better learning and the ability to really achieve help with questions and really honing the language. The school has everything that you need to feel immersed in the culture. You can participate in intercambios with Costa Rican English students, cooking classes, dance classes, excursions. They really take care of their students and celebrate their acheivements. Wonderful people at the school, they truely want you to succeed and enjoy your time in Costa Rica. The school also organized a home stay. Prior to arrival, you are asked your preferences for matching you to a family. To say my family was wonderful was an understatement. They treated me like part of the family. It was great getting to hang out with them. I learned a TON about Costa Rican life and just from conversing with my family in Spanish constantly, I feel like my language improved even more. I highly recommend Intercultura. They offer a truly unique Costa Rican experience.

Good evening. I am a 77 year old male that knows NO Spanish. Would this be a good school to spend two months at this winter? If not, where would you recommend?

I’ll be studying at the Samara campus for three weeks in July, and I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations/ tips as to which excursions are good to take. Ex: is there one that is must-do? The following are the weekend ones to choose from (I can probably do two):
RINCÓN DE LA VIEJA Volcano & National Park
MONTEZUMA BEACH & TORTUGA ISLAND
ARENAL-MONTEVERDE Volcano & Rainforest
RIO CELESTE National Park

Hello Tom, I will do my best to answer all of your questions here.
Also visit us online at Intercultura Costa Rica, there you can also find out more information about our Samara and Heredia Campuses.
1. Yes, generally all new classes start on Mondays: Sámara alternating schedule, 8am to noon and 1pm to 5pm. In Heredia, we offer classes either 8:30am to 1:30pm or 1:30pm to 5:30pm, Monday through Friday.
2. We ask that our students dress modestly, and we follow the shoes/sandals, shorts/pants, shirt dress code. In Samara, we are located very close to the beach, even so we ask that students are covered at all times while on campus, out of respect for the institution, the professors, and other students.
3. Homestay is an option and we recommend it for the language and cultural immersion, yet it is not mandatory. Our students can stay in a variety of lodging options; from hostels to hotels. If you choose our homestay option, then yes, it will be part of your program and included in your tuition.
4. Our homestay program includes 2 meals a day, and weekly laundry service. We do not require that our host families offer WIFI. On our campus we have WIFI and our campus is open from 7am to 10pm daily.
5. Fluency is truly dependent on the individual, and their initial level of the Spanish Language upon entrance into our program. Six weeks is a fair amount of time to become familiar with concepts and vocabulary, but fluency is not our specific aim. We strive to help students achieve a comfortable level of communication. We use a communicative approach in our classes. Our teachers provide the tools that our students will need to advance, which means each student is responsible for their own progress and continual practice.
6. A two-week Spanish ($315 a week) and homestay (private room $175 a week) program will cost $980
7. We can make changes in any program, but it all depends on the time of year, and the number of professors that we have available to offer the additional 10 hours a week for the intensive program. For that reason, we recommend our Heredia campus as we have more professors available.
8. The difference between the regular homestay and the 24/7 immersion homestay, is that regular program is offered in both Samara and Heredia. The 24/7 immersion is only offered in Heredia, and it includes the regular instruction, as well as instruction in the homestay with one of our educators. The program can also be tailored to our student’s needs, business, medical or social-work focused.
I hope this helps. Again, please feel free to visit us online or on Facebook Intercultura Samara Language School

I will begin 4 weeks of classes at Intercultura beginning April 18th; the first 3 weeks in Heredia and the 4th in Samara. I'm interested in hearing suggestions and advice regarding what to bring or not to bring (clothes, portable fan?), helpful hints, definite things to see, advice regarding cell phone (should I buy a SIM card or a phone when I arrive). Thank you very much!
撰写日期：2016年4月9日
Buy a SIM card in Costa Rica. 1 block from school. Secretary can tell you where. No need for fan

Hi David
I am looking to participate in a full immersion Spanish language program. It was recommended that I search schools in Guatemala and Costa Rica and Ecuador. I am going to dig deeper into Intercultura. Did you stay with a family? How long was your stay? Was travel about town and country fairly easy?
Any other school/country experiences/recommendations?
Thanks

I am a senior citizen from NYC....do you have classes for older adults?
Thank you
Susan
撰写日期：2015年3月5日
Hi Susan. We have students of all ages and many in the 50+ category. When we have students of a similar age and Spanish level, we always do our best to group them in classes together. Even if you didn't end up in a class with people your age, you'd be able to partake in all of the extra-curricular activities with them. We often get people over 50 at our Sámara campus as well. Please let us know if you have further questions.

Hi Stacy, I'm thinking about sending my 15 year old daughter for the 2 week Spanish and volunteer program. Sounds like you were really happy with the experience she had. How did she feel about the home stays and did she go to Heredia or Samara? I'm just feeling a bit nervous about sending her off on her own. Thanks for your input!
Michele
撰写日期：2015年3月2日
Hi Michelle. I'm not sure that Stacy will see your questions under this segment since these are questions with the school. I'm Lindsay, the coordinator of the teen camp and I'd be happy to give you any information you may need. This year's teen camp will be: Session One from June 21st to July 5th and Session Two from July 5th to 19th. For each session the teens will spend the first week at our Heredia Campus and the second week at our Sámara Campus. They have all ground transportation, meals, classes, lodging and activities included. (Airfare excluded.) We usually place 2 teens to a homestay family so that they aren't on their own, unless they specifically asked to be the only student in the house. I'd be happy to give you more information. Please feel free to contact us! (We're not allowed to post links or emails here, but you can find it on our website.) Thanks!
