MEET OUR INTERCULTURA TEAM

“I loved studying at Intercultura. After studying at language schools in Mexico, Spain, Perú, and Uruguay, Intercultura is the best school I have attended. It’s not only because the instruction is the best, but the administration is top notch. I always recommend Intercultura to friends who want to study Spanish!”

“I just wanted to express our appreciation for all the work done by the Intercultura administration team and the teaching staff. My wife and I had such a wonderful time in Costa Rica. We really enjoyed our experience at Intercultura, and we were very impressed by how friendly, helpful and welcoming everyone was. My teacher, Alexandra, was absolutely fantastic. She was so energetic, bright and enthusiastic, and she made the lessons enjoyable as well as useful. She was also very patient with us, which was especially appreciated as we are not exactly young students anymore and sometimes need a little extra help! I also wanted to say thank you for all the work that happens behind the scenes. I imagine there is a lot of organisation involved in making everything run smoothly, from arranging the lessons to supporting the students and teachers. We certainly felt that everything worked very well, and it made a big difference to our experience. We have not stopped talking to people about how good our experience was at Intercultura. We would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Spanish… Thanks again to you and the whole Intercultura team for such a memorable experience.”

WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT INTERCULTURA COSTA RICA

“Many thanks to all my teachers:
Carmen, Isabel, Bayron, Farid, Nelsy, Nelson, Ilsen, Iris, Maria, also the receptionists, the cleaning staff, dance and cooking teachers, the security guards at night and Santiago.
I can’t say anything but thank you. Thank you for this amazing time here in Samara. This adventure could not have been better. Thank you for your flexibility, kindness and, most importantly, all the patience you bring with you.
I learned many new things here, not only a new language, but thanks to your excellent program I was able to get to know a new culture and many wonderful people.
I would really recommend this school to anyone, because this experience is priceless. The three months went by so fast that I will probably come back soon.
I am excited for the next time. I will miss Samara.”
