Synopsis

Learn Costa Rican Spanish One Word At A Time

No matter whether traveling to Costa Rica as a tourist, a student, or with the intention of moving to the country as an expatriate, this guide will serve you well. You probably already know the Spanish spoken by Ticos (Costa Ricans) is a distinct and unique idiom, rich with words and phrases they don't teach in high school Spanish class.

Intended for English speakers, this book shares common slang words and phrases (Tiquismos) that will help you communicate in everyday situations like ordering dinner in a restaurant, shopping at the Mercado for fresh produce, flirting, getting street directions, or hiring a taxi.

That said, be advised this little book is neither a complete course in learning the Spanish Language. Neither is it a textbook. Instead, this basic introduction to Costa Rican Spanish is a good pocket beginners guide you can handily carry on your travels either in your back pocket or tucked away in a backpack.

Before you go, consider taking the time to learn a few Tiquismos so you can speak street Spanish like a local. This guide contains a wealth of words and expressions that you can look up when you hear, or read them, in order to know what is going on around you. Even better, spend a night curled up with the book gaining familiarity with the wisdom it contains. That way, when you hear a vaguely familiar word on the street, you will know which page to consult to refresh your memory.

Knowing at least some Costa Rican street Spanish will pay big dividends. Instead of being seen as some soul-less gringo tourist, the locals will hold you in higher esteem. As a result, you may make new friends, and as a bonus perhaps get a better hotel room or lower prices while shopping.
