We arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica on Oct. 26, 2006. While we are learning the language and culture of our new home we are living with a Costa Rican family. Costa Rican people call themselves, "Ticos." Our Tico family includes a mother (Lorena), three children in their twentys (Victor, Natalia, Madeleyne), and a seven year old boy (Jean Piero) and a dog named Dona! This family is working very hard to help us adapt. They do not speak English and that helps us to learn more of the language each day.
We are now involved in "Barefoot" language learning. The "official" language school begins the first week of January. Until then our small group of eight meet daily with a tutor in the mornings learning the basics of language and culture. Then in the afternoons the assignment is to go out on the streets to walk, look, and practice what we are learning each morning.
