JACO BEACH, March 9th, 2012 – Super Thinking + Spanish teacher John Sloan will be in Jaco Costa Rica from March 25th to the 28th for Learn Spanish in Four Days training for those who want to increase their Spanish language comprehension.

Spanish is the second-fastest growing language in the world, according to the official language institute Royal Spanish Academy (known as RAE by its Spanish acronym). While English still enjoys lingua franca status on the Internet and certain professional circles and academia, more than 400 million native Spanish speakers around the world are doing their best to enrich the status of their beloved language. Spanish is widely used on the Internet as well, with over 100 million users across the globe coming together in discourse in the language of Cervantes and Don Quixote.

Learning Spanish in Costa Rica with John Sloan is the perfect endeavor for expatriates and foreigners who wish to tap into the lucrative opportunities that await those interested in making Latin America their home, playground or enterprise headquarters. The Global Recession may have wreaked havoc in the North American and European economies, but most of Latin America has seen growth and prosperity in the last few years. Brazil and Chile are leading the economic charge in South America, and Costa Rica is doing its part in Central America.

Foreigners are coming in droves to Costa Rica and other choice Latin American locations. Costa Rica is celebrated as one of the prettiest and most peaceful nations in the world. The nation’s commitment to democracy, unarmed conflict resolution, education, and ecological conservation make it an ideal place to visit, raise a family, do business in, or retire. English is spoken in Costa Rica by about 10 percent of the population, but in other Latin American countries that figure is much lower. Spanish is the most important unifying feature of the highly traditional and relaxed Latin American culture, and it is unlikely to be overtaken by any other language.

Applying Frequency Modulation to Language Learning

The Super Thinking + Spanish course is based upon the advanced learning principles of Georgi Lozanov, a Bulgarian psychotherapist whose methods were closely evaluated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for their effectiveness in foreign language acquisition. The final report by UNESCO concluded that Lozanov’s language teaching principles were superior and worthy of UNESCO affiliation.

John Sloan’s method of language teaching involves Frequency Modulation (FM) and the human mind’s boundless learning capacity. There are three distinct scientific concepts at work in John Sloan’s Super Thinking + Spanish method:

1 – Memory can be super-charged by evoking the senses. Too many traditional teaching methods tend to solely focus on reasoning and ignore the power of the senses when it comes to memorization. This is the underlying concept that John Sloan uses in his Super Thinking + Spanish course.

2 – Rapid expansion of vocabulary. Just like the Voice of America and Wikipedia use a simplified -yet highly effective- version of English based on a vocabulary of just 850 to 1,000 words and concise sentences, the Super Thinking + Spanish course uses 17 strategies to build a strong Spanish lexicon that is greater than 1,000 words.

3 – Finding strength in the building blocks of language. Rather than jumping headlong into the complexities of verb conjugation in Spanish, for example, it is easier to understand how verbs in their infinitive form can be properly used in many everyday situations.

Things to do in Jaco Beach

Just like in a few other coastal regions of Costa Rica, the rainforest meets the beach in Jaco. The town has evolved from a sleepy beach village to a vibrant coastal community where the comforts of modern life blend in with the trademark relaxed atmosphere of Costa Rica. The course always attracts quite a few expat locals who can show those who arrive from abroad the way around town.

Many of the fun and inexpensive activities available at Jaco Beach involve ecotourism, adventure, dining, nightlife, and relaxation. From jungle excursion to deep sea fishing and from dinner theater to ATV challenges, Jaco has something for everyone.
