"Happy 35th Birthday! I have had a long standing relationship with Conversa, as a professional and a student. As an Assistant Director of a Study Abroad Office, I thought that I should study abroad and actually experience what I was trying to encourage students to do. I had the total experience – staying with a family, white water rafting, riding a horse to the volcano, breaking my foot, going to the hospital, going on as many trips to the beach and to see the country as possible, and in spite of all this, I even learned Spanish! The teachers were very patient with me and because of their methodology, I knew that this would be an excellent program to send students. I loved the Santa Ana campus, the mountaintop is glorious, all the Ticos, and the devotion of the staff and faculty was amazing. Conversa is my choice of a Spanish language learning center and I have recruited numerous students who have had an awesome cultural and academic experience."
