"I think it was in the summer of 2003 that I was fortunate enough to attend a 6 week Spanish learning session at Conversa. Conversa was my choice of schools as it had been highly recommended to me as the best Spanish learning institution in Costa Rica. My experience at Conversa was all that I hoped for and more.

The school has a strong student focus and a great deal of effort is invested in designing the best Spanish learning program. The school atmosphere is intimate and friendly. The instructors are first class and really concentrate on their students learning. I had always liked Spanish so my learning experience was very positive. The strong start I received at Conversa encouraged me to pursue a Spanish degree at the University of North Florida. Now, I need 3 more courses to complete my masters in Spanish.

My positive experience at Conversa encouraged me to send my son to a session at Conversa. My son (attorney by degree) just became a Federal Agent and as part of his training was given a 3 month concentrated course in Spanish. Needless to say, his work at Conversa gave him a head start with the government Spanish program and he completed the program in record time with good grades.

I am an older student (senior citizen) and was fortunate to become good friends with the owner of Conversa, David Kaufman. Fortunately, Mr. Kaufman was an avid tennis player as am I. I was able to play tennis on a regular basis with my new friend. Also, I was honored to be a guest in Mr. Kaufman's home on several occasions.

I have since recommended Conversa to anyone desiring to learn Spanish whether it be for college credit or just general learning. The "comfortable" environment at the school assures a pleasant experience and you can find no better place if you want to really learn Spanish. The staff at Conversa is always willing to make you a great experience. Field trips, cookouts, and special learning sessions are always provided to the students.

Whatever your learning level in Spanish or whatever learning objective you have, Conversa has the ability to develop a personalized program to meet your needs. For anyone interested in becoming proficient in Spanish, their only choice should be Conversa. If you just write (as I did) and express your interest, you will find that the staff will be eager to accommodate your learning needs. Conversa has been the leading Spanish teaching school in Costa Rica for 35 years. This long history of success speaks for itself.

I consider myself fortunate for finding the Conversa School."
