I’m curious as to why you don’t take the homeschool course for Costa Rican Spanish...;)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Homeschool Internet web casting is available through the school. But...the whole point of going to Costa Rica is to be immersed in the language and culture.

Even in Costa Rica “homeschooling” with private tutors in the home is superior to institutionalization. One of the major disadvantages to attending the school is that there are so many Americans and Europeans there that avoiding speaking English is impossible.

There is also the matter of cost, and once we are settled down a bit, we will seriously look for private tutors so that we can be taught at home.

I’ve been to Costa Rica five time previously, and private tutors do advertise. It’s been 8 years though since my last trip, and I will need to get reoriented. Regardless of our decision, we will continue to live with a Costa Rican family. Many of the schools will arrange this, whether you attend classes or not.

Relax, I was making a joke. I hope you have a nice trip. Our cousins just bought a million plus dollar home there. I am sure we will get to visit sometime. Our next big trip will probably be back to Switzerland though.

Be careful, my brother-in-law went there for surf camp and came back with a girlfriend. My sister was not amused.
