Synopsis

The story line of this instructor- and student-praised video follows the humorous adventures of six university students in Costa Rica as they cross paths, meet, and (in some cases) fail to meet. Carefully structured to integrate chapter vocabulary and grammar, these segments progress in level of difficulty across the fourteen episodes. Additional thematically related cultural video footage is included after every even-numbered chapter. NEW geocultural video strands that tie into "Exploraciones culturales" sections are included in Chapters 2-13.
