English Conversation ClubECC is a program that gives ticos who already speak intermediate English an opportunity to practice their English and gringos the chance to ask questions they've always wondered about. The sessions are NOT classes as such; they are a space to practice the level of oral English, together with people of the same level (in groups of 5 to 7 people maximum per leader). Groups meet for 5 weeks for 2 hours per week and a donation of 10,000 colones (or 15,000 colones for two schedules) is required to support the Community Action Alliance scholarship program. |
