Intercultura Language School and Cultural Center的点评
点评:We loved, loved, loved this experience!!! We took three weeks of Spanish, Levels PreA1, A1.1 and A1.2 and it was wonderful at the Heredia location (North of San Jose). The instruction was clear, useful and focused without being overwhelming. The staff spoke mostly Spanish (but could help with various things if you needed English help) The school itself is lovely, with courtyards, gardens, and tropical plants sprinkled through the open areas in the school. We did 4 hours a day of Spanish and the classrooms had wonderful interactive smart boards that we could do Spanish together with other students in group activities — so classes were not limited only to “sitting and doing la tarea” (Homework). Another thing I loved was coffee and tea were available every morning with many local bakeries nearby. The school has a lovely weekly offering of classes in addition to language classes: Yoga, Latin Dance, Cooking, Explore local towns outings, and extra weekend field trips that were further afield, like Coffee & Chocolate plantation, La Paz Waterfalls, Arenal & Volcanoes.
We were there over Thanksgiving and the staff arranged a Thanksgiving potluck which was completely amazing!
I went from a few phrases of Spanish and no ability to converse at all (Buenas Dias, Gracias, Muchas Gracias) to being able to hold simple conversations and ask complex questions. The price was fair and the intensive classes are small enough for personal attention. We’re going back for two more weeks <3
翻译:我们太喜欢这次体验了!!!我们在埃雷迪亚校区(圣何塞北部)上了三周的西班牙语课程,级别分别是PreA1、A1.1和A1.2。课程非常棒。教学清晰、实用且重点突出,不会让人感到压力过大。教职员工主要讲西班牙语(但如果你需要英语方面的帮助,他们也能提供各种支持)。学校本身也很漂亮,庭院、花园和热带植物点缀着校园的各个开放区域。我们每天上四个小时的西班牙语课,教室里配备了很棒的互动式智能白板,我们可以和其他同学一起进行小组活动——所以课程不仅仅局限于“坐着做作业”。我喜欢的另一点是,每天早上都有咖啡和茶供应,附近还有很多当地的烘焙店。除了语言课程之外,学校每周还提供丰富的课外活动:瑜伽、拉丁舞、烹饪、探索当地城镇的短途旅行,以及周末的远足活动,例如参观咖啡和巧克力种植园、拉巴斯瀑布、阿雷纳尔火山等等。
我们感恩节期间在那里,工作人员安排了感恩节聚餐,真是太棒了!
我以前只会说几句西班牙语,完全不会对话(比如 Buenas Dias、Gracias、Muchas Gracias),现在却能进行简单的对话,还能问一些复杂的问题。价格很合理,而且强化班的小班授课模式能保证每位学员都能得到充分的关注。我们打算再去两周!<3
