Yes, things were very different than in the United States but I welcomed the opportunity to experience life from a different stand point and I strongly recommend that if a misunderstanding happens between you and your family (like you say your allergic to wheat and then your family only serves you fruit) ask for advice from your instructor at school or try writing out what you want to talk about so that both of you understand. I did not need to buy anything to stay with my host family, just needed to bring my clothes and toiletries. It is really helpful to return from school and be able to practice what you learned and to practice simple living situations like asking for the salt or what is going on in that crazy television program. Most of them are very welcoming and very kind. I stayed with three different host families since I wanted to experience all three campuses and overall I strongly recommend staying with a host family. How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? And they work very hard to have easily available excursions that help you to experience the culture and history of Costa Rica. Their program is well coordinated between campuses so changing campuses does not interrupt your progress. Online they answer any all questions quickly and clearly and in person they are welcoming and easily available if you need help or have more questions. I believe that it would be possible to learn this much Spanish in the United States but the class set up would have to change because only by practicing every day for a couple of hours at a time was I able to really soak up all the information being given to me.ĬPI is a very well organized institution that is very responsive to the students needs. By the end of 6 weeks, since I had prior experience with Spanish, I would say that I'm close to mid-way fluent now. At CPI I was able to learn to listen/think/speak in Spanish but of course everything takes time. I had taken classes but only learned to read/write which in no way expanded my ability to listen/think/speak in Spanish and that is the real goal. Learning Spanish at CPI catapulted my understanding of Spanish by a 100 fold. I loved the conversation class after the morning classes because it allowed me to really use the concepts I had been learning in the morning. CPI provides booklets that lead the student easily from beginning concepts to more complicated speaking. The graphical interface is excellent, particularly the migration map, extended family view, and other elements.How much international exposure did you have prior to this program?Īcademic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. The sync capabilities of Heredis 2014 are excellent, easily permitting the user to sync over a home network between multiple computers, only adding or changing the new information. The witness tab for an event is someone who witnessed the event (for example, a census taker or minister who married a couple), not others recorded during the same even (for example, a census). There is no separate source and citation, meaning that each reference to a book (a source) for a specific entry (on a page) is independent from another entry, expanding the number of source / citation.

The software lacks any ability to record name variations, including a married name (cultural - in France married women use their maiden name).

I rated Heredis 2014 a 3 only because of the cons identified below.

All in all, I think it’s a great program, but the manual reads more like an ad for what you CAN do rather than HOW to actually do it. I didn’t catch it quickly enough the first time, so all children added, even after I changed her sex, showed Mary as the father. For whatever reason, every “Mary” I enter pops up as male. There are a wide variety of facts to choose from, but I’ve had to alter several of them to provide the headings I need. Adding photos is incredibly easy, but any descriptions you add won’t line up in the automatic scrapbook function. Maneuvering through the generations takes a bit of clicking, and I’m having some issues getting out of the data entry window when I add marriages after the fact. I like the changeable backgrounds and the variety of charts and reports. I’ve only been using it for a week, so I’m still learning. Needed something to replace my faulty Family Tree Maker and played with several different programs.
