ARCR & Intercultura

When someone plans to visit, & especially move to a new country, it is essentially important to learn to communicate in the language of that country.  Even simply attempting to speak the local language can greatly improve your experience with the culture & the people. ARCR has always recommended that anyone planning on living in Costa Rica should learn the language. Though some people think "How can I ever learn SPANISH" which seems like a monumental task, we simply tell them this..."Don't think about the whole language, just try to learn three simple words per day at least.  As these three words per day increase your ability to communicate, you will soon find learning easier, and even more enjoyable" and three words a day is much easier to picture.

 The school
Until now ARCR has never directly endorsed any specific school, but after discovering the program offered by Intercultura, the directors were very impressed.  The teachers are not only professional,  but are required to maintain a level of excellence (as reported by the actual students) while teaching courses that have been designed by the school themselves.    Furthermore we at ARCR feel that immersion in local culture is an extremely important aspect in a new country, and we were impressed to find an institution that feels the same. Intercultura actually helps the students to understand & experience it in several different ways, and this can be seen as much in the curriculum as in 'outside' activities..

Reservations
We can help you set up your reservation before arrival in Costa Rica, and confirm availability for the dates you wish to study. Students may choose to share rooms in a luxury hotel or stay with local families.
