AFS Exchange to Costa Rica

Jamie Webb-Speight (Year 12) spent the summer on an AFS exchange to Costa Rica. She lived in a small town outside San José and she loved every moment. She made the most of the experience and has returned to New Zealand fluent in Spanish. AFS provided an intensive language course for three weeks when she first arrived. She spent the rest of the time with her hosts who hardly spoke any English, nor did the local people. Having learned Spanish at ACG Parnell College since Year 7, Jamie said that everything fell into place when she was amongst native speakers and made communication all the easier.
