“My daughter (15) and I both studied at Tico Lingo in July 2026 following her GCSE exams in the uk. She did the teen camp and I joined classes for adults at the school. We both had a really positive experience, and enjoyed every minute of the two weeks that we were in Heredia. Every aspect of our time there was very well organised and we couldn\u2019t have wished for better communication and support from the Tico Lingo team.<\/p>\n
In fact, my daughter had such a great time that I barely heard from her during those two weeks!\u00a0We stayed in separate homestays, as she decided\u00a0in advance that she would prefer\u00a0to be with other kids her age. \u00a0This definitely turned out to be the right decision.\u00a0I think she took some comfort from the fact that I was in the same town if she needed me, but\u00a0the group\u00a0of teens she was with were all getting on so\u00a0well, and they had so many varied\u00a0and excited\u00a0activities to engage them that\u00a0she didn\u2019t feel the need to reach out.<\/p>\n
It was quite the adventure and really gave her a sense of independence. Meanwhile, I found out that language learning is exhausting when you\u2019ve not been in education for 25 years, but I imagine the cognitive benefits are immense! We both felt that our Spanish was improved after the immersive experience. We were joined by the rest of our immediate family after our courses had finished and used the opportunity to travel a little around the beautiful country that is Costa Rica.”[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
