Learn Spanish in Costa Rica Through Language Immersion!
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. Combine that with the rush of outdoor adreneline activities and you have a recipe for an unforgettable summer service experience! Join us for a journey to this land of amazing geographic diversity and unassuming human warmth.
