Learning vacation
January 22, 2018by: Darree Sicher - United StatesProgram: Spanish + Cultural Immersion - Beautiful Beach & City CampusI took a leap from the usual laying-around vacation and signed up for the Spanish Immersion class at Samara Beach. What a wonderful experience and still plenty of time to enjoy the slower, more relaxed pace of life in Samara. The facility was clean and laid back, right on the beach and the staff and teachers were great. We were broken into groups dependent on our level of understanding and alternated morning or afternoon start times. Although I did not have a home stay, which would have given me a deeper level of understand and immersion, I really enjoyed the week of learning and enjoying my vacation to the fullest.
My study abroad experience
January 19, 2018by: Koryn Kelly - United StatesProgram: Spanish + Cultural Immersion - Beautiful Beach & City CampusIntercultura is an amazing school that offers a very good opportunity for their students to learn a language from a different perspective. They offer an amazing classroom experience as well as very friendly staff who are willing to help in any way that they can. They also offer two very amazing locations, one being near San Jose while the other is a beach town.The program focuses more on speaking as well as listening, comprehension, and reading. The other amazing aspect of this entire process was the experience of living with a host family. It truly helped make the experience more memorable and helped with learning the language. Overall this was an incredible experience and I would happily go back and visit some time in the future.

February 04, 2016by: M.A.Program: Spanish + Cultural Immersion - Beautiful Beach & City CampusI have never studied abroad before in my life, so getting the opportunity to go to Intercultura as my first experience was the greatest treat. The program was set up very wonderfully ! The teachers made the classes as much fun as possible with activities in the park, group improvisation, and games to improve our vocabulary and speaking skills. The weekend excursions were also amazing! I did so many new things that I will always remember. Getting to go zip-lining, rafting, and seeing monkeys all in one month? Can't beat that! Overall, I would do to this program every year if I had the time!

I love to travel and I knew that immersion would be the best way for me to learn Spanish. I was able to practice with my homestay family and with all the locals.
