Who are the students?
Students from
all over the world come to Universal de Idiomas to study Spanish.
We also have had students from Weber State University-Utah, Worcester
Polytechnic Institute- Massachusetts and University of South Florida-
Florida who attend classes in the summer. Many of these students
have lived with host families and learned a great deal from them.
Quotes from some of our students
"This is my most favorite Spanish class. Yami is really nice. I like having ice cream in the cafeteria. If we go to Costa Rica again, hopefully I'll be able to have Spanish Class here again."
Malaika, 8 Years, England
"Nadia is the best profesora ever! Gracias para todo, I had an awesome time! Costa Rica is amazing, I'm gonna come back soon! Nadia rocks!"
Simona, Germany
"I have made
a great deal of progress in a short time. Each day I'm able to understand
and communicate more in the real world. Our teachers put a lot of
energy into each class and kept us interested. There was a good
balance of grammatical exercises and conversation which put the
theory into practical use."
Max Ham
"After 4 weeks
my Spanish has greatly improved thanks to my teacher, Enrique's
patience and my host families help in my homework and vocabulary
lists. My host family couldn't have done more to make me happy.
I will really miss them. I attended other Spanish Schools but learned
more here. The classes were smaller which is very important. Over
all it was a wonderful 4 weeks."
Jessica
Vesp
"I just finished
4 weeks of studying Spanish and I'm very satisfied. I learnt a lot.
Also living with a C. R. family is very interesting, because you
learn a lot of the normal "life". I really like the country and
I will recommend this school to everybody."
Erick
van Boven, Holland
"Within 3 weeks
my teacher Jorge has managed to teach me enough basics so that I
was able to communicate in the hospital and at home. Jorge is an
excellent teacher, always smiling and enthusiastic, making the lessons
more enjoyable. I hope that when I return home I will continue to
learn Spanish with the same enthusiasm."
