Does anyone know the best place/school to learn Spanish in the Grecia area? Did you try the “family stay” option? I looked on Internet and couldn’t find anything that’s not exorbitantly priced. I’d really appreciate if you could point me in the right direction.
Thank you,
JulieJulia, I don’t know what constitutes “exorbitantly priced”, but there is a Spanish-language school in Grecia that does immersion training and has gotten good reviews from the one person I know who has used it. She’s coming back in a few months; that says something.
If you e-mail me, I’ll put you in touch with her.
(Please put “Grecia Spanish School” or the like in your Subject line so I won’t think it’s spam.)
Julie,
I’m not sure why you specify the Grecia area. It seems to me that if you’ve already been there, you wouldn’t be searching the internet for educational travel. Sure, what you see in cyberspace will be expensive, those are market prices for Gringos stuck at their computers in the US.
If you’ve already been to CR, you’d know that you don’t have to pay some company big bucks to put it all together for you. You can just come down, choose your Spanish immersion school, and find a place to live nearby all on you own for a fraction of the price.
Conversa and Intensa are two language schools that have been around for a long time there. Both have a lot of Gringo clientele, as well as multiple locations. I’m sure other people can recommend other schools.
Homestay? How about just renting a room from one of the thousands of families that offer it? The sign in the window will say “Alq Hab”. You’ll find a wide range of quality, usually from very bad (Gringo criteria) to just basic.
Traveling alone? I know a lot of women have some trepidation about this, but I’ve heard from many that say it’s not a problem, as long as you take some basic precautions.
