Costa Rica Spanish

When you take Spanish in high school you don’t really understand that there are so many different dialects. Taking your high school Spanish to different countries like Spain, Cuba, Mexico and Costa Rica will get you confused. A rule of thumb is to spend some time on the Internet searching for the local dialect for where ever you will be visiting. Since I live in Costa Rica I thought I should share a great place to learn Costa Rican Spanish

Guide to Costa Rican Spanish

If you are planning to visit Costa Rica or even move here you should check out this site first. Not only is this a blog where you can get information on Costa Rica Spanish, but there are static pages to help you learn;

Christopher Howard is the man behind the website and this is what the site has to say about him.

Christopher Howard’s Guide to Costa Rica Spanish is an invaluable book for people who know Spanish as well as those who know only a few words. It includes a basic primer on Spanish pronunciation, theme-oriented vocabulary and phrasing, and many many idioms that can help you sound like a local right from the start.

Costa Rica

Moving to Costa Rica has been the best decision I have ever made. Since moving here I have created two new businesses and increased my client count for my consulting company. I have subscribed to the Guide to Costa Rican Spanish and if you plan to visit you should too.

    Hi Jim – When I lived in California years ago, a Castilian woman told me I spoke Spanish “like a wetback.” Um, thanks?
