Learn Spanish in Costa Rica Through a Language Immersion Service Adventure!

Welcome to Global Works Costa Rica Language Immersion Program where Costa Rica’s most popular saying, “pura vida,” literally means “pure life” and that’s what you’ll get!  Have you always wanted to go to Costa Rica, immerse yourself in the culture, learn the language, and help the local community all while discovering something about yourself in the process? On our language immersion program, participants gain confidence in the language through cultural immersion, focusing on a communicative approach to language learning with no classrooms.  We believe the best feeling you can get for the local language is through full immersion in the lives of the community.  Join us in this “abbreviated version of our four week Language Immersion Program” for a journey that will take you from white water rafting, to meaningful community service, to surfing the perfect waves of Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast, this program has it all!
