Spanish Immersion Programs
Hello My Friends, I'm looking for a Spanish Immersion programs 3-4 weeks. Perhaps in Costa Rica or some other central American country. I did a forum search but the results are 2 years old. Any new/updated Recommendations?
Thanks Ron

It started by living for six months in Peru, and then making Hispanic people my life after I returned ... Spanish friends, Spanish church, building my work around Spanish-speaking people, reading, programming my electronics in Spanish ... continuing to be as immersed as possible without actually being so.
(Spanish is actually my third fluent language, American Sign Language being the second. I have also studied French and koine Greek, but am not fluent with them. I toy a little with an obscure language called English, too.)

Here is another great place in Puebla, Mexico. It supplies tuition and accomodation as well as free online facilities.

I don't know how you keep it all straight in your head. Wow!!
I'm surprised no one else has responded to this thread about total immersion programs in Latin America...I thought they were a very popular way of learning Spanish.
Wow, Marianne! That's great! I'm jealous!
It's fabulous being in a place where only Spanish is spoken; it improves my Spanish in leaps and bounds! I really wish I could stay for a year and become semi-fluent in conversation, but alas, I have a job to return to.
p.s. How did you become bilingual'
The Instituto Cultural de Oaxaca was really great...I went two years ago. The teachers are excellent, the school is gorgeous, the homestay was with a wonderful family, and I learned so much from being in a total immersion environment. I'm going back for 4 weeks in January.
