The SOS program is designed for all those people that wish and need to have the necessary tools to communicate in Spanish during its stay in our Country, for those on vacations or work related issues. Even though that fact that most Costaricans speak English or other language, we know that the visitor does experience frustrations and situations that could have been avoided if the visitor would have known a bit of the Spanish language and a little bit of our Costarican idiosyncrasy.
For this reasons a couple of month ago, Epifania School launched the SOS Program (Spanish of Survival for Tourists), since most of our students commented about the necessity to know Spanish in real life situations in Costa Rica.
