Conversation Partner to Costa Rica

My experience went very well – the teaching was fine and the police, the organisation I was tutoring, were appreciative of what I was doing. In Fortuna there were many, many activities, so I was never bored. Towards the end of my 3 months I did have a problem with my host family but after contacting the local agent I was quickly moved to another family for the last 10 days of my time in Costa Rica. In the scheme of things this was a minor problem and overall it was a great experience.

Yesterday, after I had scraped ice off my car to get to work, I received an email from Julie who went to a family in Spain on the Conversation Corps programme. (Conversation Corps volunteers live with a family to help them improve their conversational English.) This is what Julie had to say…..

‘I thought I'd let you know that I've been getting on fine. My family has been very welcoming, and I settled in quickly. In fact, things have been going so well that I plan to stay on beyond the two months originally agreed.
