Don't be surprised when you find yourself melting into the warmth of the locals and the beautiful mountains, volcanoes, and forests all around you. As you interact with your host family and engage with businesses and local schools, you will get to know the authentic side of Costa Rica and its beautiful culture and people.
Dive into the heart of the United States as you travel to the Midwest!

This is where classroom and self-taught language learning come to life! Whether you are new to the language, an experienced language teacher, or anywhere in between, our programs are designed to offer you the perfect opportunities to use your language skills in a variety of real-world situations. While not required, we do encourage you to have at least a basic understanding of the language of your destination (Spanish for Costa Rica and English for the USA). The more language skills you have, the more you will be able to interact and engage with the locals.
Experience what it's like to live like a local in the home of your host family! Practice your language skills and learn about daily life in a family environment. Our host families and their homes have been thoroughly vetted by us, going through a rigorous selection process and background check. Each home offers you a private bedroom and wifi, and the host family provides breakfast and dinner daily while you are staying in their home.
