Guest blogger, Johanna G. had a great time on her Heredia Junior Immersion program! She did an excellent job asking questions of her classmates about their experiences at school, favorite Costa Rican foods and more!

“The teachers are great. They are very patient and are able to give advice as to how to sound more fluent. I feel like I am learning quickly, but I am still adjusting to the accent. It is very pretty, but I am in the habit of forming the sounds differently.”
