Costa Rica πŸ‡¨πŸ‡·

Our country attracts a lot of American tourists, they mainly go to the beaches and national parks but I have seen them on my city sometimes

I'm fine with it, I highly suggest you learn Spanish since we are a Spanish-speaking country, and you can only see English on the tourist areas

Also if you want to become a citizen you need to do some sort of exam that for most foreign people is hard. Just so y'all know

Hi, I am an American and will be visiting your country very soon! I've never been outside of the US and know very little Spanish. I'm going with a family member who is getting dental work done and well be in San Jose. We're very excited for the trip, do you have any tips for first timers?

[–] BenjiRenji@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Don't plan to be in San Jose. Doesn't have more to give for tourist than maybe a day of museums.

I love your country and am considering moving there. I just got divorced and I'm going to do a big shake up of my life. If I don't get this job in Texas and I can get my balls in order, I might just do it. Ticos son la gente muy generoso y amistosa. Tengo solo un poco espaΓ±ol pero vivir en Costa Rica? Yo estudio muy rapido en la pais.

Also even with a gringo accent, you'll fit right in /jk

You might be surprised. I love this country so much.

[–] BenjiRenji@feddit.org 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I like it too. Just making some fun on their Spanish.

It makes it easier to learn! When I talk to most Mexicans they speak so fast and have so much slang it's hard to learn or even understand for me.
