The last week!

The best Spanish Immersion School

C.P.I

The last week of our adventures here in Costa Rica will be unforgettable. The week flew by and the next thing you knew, it was Friday, our last day here. This week was filled with a lot of adventure from going to the School Creativo, an English immersion private school, and getting to eat at a wonderful bakery called Stellas and more. On the day we went to Stellas we had a great discussion about the difficulties of pronunciation for children. which I felt was very important to know and understand. A lot of children when asked what the letter "p" sounded like, would respond with "PA" It is interesting when you really start to think about the different pronunciations with words. Such as "shoe", "salt", "Some", they all begin with an S but after the S sound there is a different sound. We went to the Monteverde Coffee fields this week, and got to plant a tree in a very empty part of the sixteen acre farm. It was very exciting to know that in a few years, our trees will be tall and I can say I left my mark in Costa Rica! We learned a lot this week in Spanish classes, I have learned more Spanish here in Costa Rica than I have ever learned in my life. I am able to hold conversations with people in Spanish and the important part is I am able to communicate with my family Ticos. I don't think I could have learned as much Spanish as I did without being immersed into the Spanish culture. I feel confident than ever before, and I have never felt that way before. It is quite an exciting experience!
