I Grew My love and Passion for the Spanish Language
by: Sara Cubides - United StatesProgram: Teen Spanish Immersion Summer CampMy experience with Tico Lingo helped to grow my love and passion for the Spanish language and culture. The amazing food, kind people and fun activities enhanced my trip and made it something to remember. My host mom was very welcoming and really made me feel cared for, the counselors and teachers were understanding and helpful, and the different activities allowed me to experience Costa Rica in a fun and interesting way throughout my time with Tico Lingo.
Tico Lingo was an amazing experience!
by: Riley Coughlin - United StatesProgram: Teen Spanish Immersion Summer CampTico Lingo was an amazing experience. I made some new friends that I will forever be thankful for. This program has introduced me to so many things I never thought I would do, like white water rafting, which was so much more fun than I thought. We experienced so many places and things here in Costa Rica that we all enjoyed. We went to an animal sanctuary, roller skating, La Fortuna volcano and much more. I also really appreciate my teacher, Profesora Marlin, and my homestay mom, Rita, for th...
Loved this camp so much!!
by: Annika Johnson - United StatesProgram: Teen Spanish Immersion Summer CampI LOVED this camp! Coming into it, I was a bit anxious about my Spanish level, where I would be placed in the classes, the people and counselors etcs., but it turned out to be the best experience I could have asked for. The teachers, counselors (Morgan & Clay❤️), and other students have really made this a special trip. It was such a unique experience being able to live in a homestay; eating traditional food, sharing conversation (in Spanish) with my host mom, and seeing Costa Rica from a pers...

I had never left the U.S. and wanted to go somewhere to study Spanish abroad. After doing some short browsing, I knew studying Spanish abroad and immersing myself in the language was the best way for me to really learn.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I met our Program Director, Chris, while teaching English in Alajuela. Together we tried teaching some local expats the Spanish language and we really enjoyed the experience! We introduced them to the "real" Costa Rica and brought them to local coffee shops and restaurants. I really enjoyed the experience.

Participated in 2022
I had never left the USA before, and I felt like I had a really closed view of what the world had to offer. I really wanted to get out on the open road and explore areas of the world I had only seen and heard about on television and in the movies. I also had a growing photography business and desire to speak better Spanish and figured I could take some epic photos of my travels through Central America and improve my Spanish speaking abilities along the way.
