ACCE


For those interested in taking Spanish for Social Workers or wanting further information on where I was studying, here are photos and info. I was studying at Academia Centroamericana de Espanol. Alejandro Suarez and Diego Alvarez run the school and have had this program for social workers for at least four years, I believe. The program is amazing, classes actually include a booklet of example social work conversations and vocab frequently used in social work. Depending on your teacher, but many classes spend half the class each day having conversations about social problems and the differences or similarities in Costa Rica and the US. The website includes contact information and details on upcoming sessions and costs. They even go beyond just classes and set up weekend trips to tourist locations, social work lectures, trips to agencies (such as those in my blog) and a service project.

Inside the school, the lounge area.









And the balcony with classrooms to the right.
