Helena studied with us between April and June, 2013. She sent us this beautiful heart-moving testimony. Thank you Helena!
“Costa Rica! What should I say about it? It’s Paradise on Earth…
I went to this wonderful country to improve my knowledge of Spanish without knowing I was going to Paradise! I chose it in the catalogue of ESL-Séjours linguistiques in Belgium because Spain seemed too close to home and I had heard that the Spanish spoken in Costa Rica is the best of Latin America.
Since I came back to Europe I miss Costa Rica so much because I felt so well there. It is a small country wedged between Nicaragua and Panamá and two of the biggest oceans: the Pacific and the Atlantic. Since 1948, this country doesn´t have an army, which is also positive and the inhabitants are so nice.
I stayed at a host family for eight weeks and I absolutely didn´t want to go home. I felt so wonderfully well there. Academia Tica is a paradise of a school with the most fantastic teachers I have ever met! When is the last time you were excited to go to school and learn new things?
It has been now two months I have left Costa Rica and the Academia Tica and I have had new adventures since then but I always have a twitch in my heart and become sad when I think about my own paradise and me not being there.
It is a country where it is really easy to travel even as a single young lady. You can enjoy a lot of great adventures and take the most wonderful pictures.
If you have any doubt about Academia Tica and Costa Rica, swipe it away. It is a great experience if you live close to of far from Paradise!
So, don´t forget your passport, book your plane ticket and your classes at Academia Tica and off you go to the greatest adventure ever!
¡Costa Rica, te quiero mucho y nunca te olvido!”
