Visiting Proyecto Asis was better than I could have ever imagined. Everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming. They made me feel right at home. As someone who had not done much traveling before this trip, it was an easy place to come and feel part of a community.
I would say one of the best parts of the trip were my Spanish classes with Analia. She is an incredible teacher and an incredible woman. By the end of the month she had me speaking for hours with her in Spanish. Even outside of the classroom she was extremely helpful with anything and everything I needed. My month in Costa Rica was absolutely amazing and I would not change a second of it! If you want to learn Spanish, meet some incredible people, and have a blast doing it, come to Proeycto Asis! You will not regret it. Claire Jaffe

“Costa Rica is a great country for traveling with children.  It is breathtakingly beautiful and warmly welcomes visitors.  When it was time for us to say goodbye to all the wonderful people we had met, we were all sad to leave.  Our trip has been an awesome way to start learning a new language and to experience the lifestyle of a different culture!  I had to promise the boys that we would come back soon.”

The home-stay experience was unique and delightful.  I loved learning Spanish in our open “toucan friendly” classroom.”
