Should I learn some Spanish before traveling to Costa Rica? I know some words here and there but that's about it.

I would not worry too much about it. BUT i would suggest bringing an English/Spanish dictionary to help you out. But if you are staying at a resort or something, the people who work there should know enough English?

Comment #2 maou from caloria (Contact Member) -

I would think that atleast the staff at the resort should know English. Sometimes even the shops that are used to tourists coming through might know atleast some english.

If you are asking prices and not sure have them write it down or show you in a calculator. Even if they know English... pronuncation of words like Fifteen and Fifty can sound very similar...

I didn't think of that. It does sound a little similiar especially to someone who isn't a native speaker. I try to carry a little notepad with me in case I have a question in regards to price. It helps to write it down sometimes.

Yes, I agree with the others on the Spanish/English dictionary. I don't really worried about speaking the language as the country that I'm visiting because I figure there has to be someone around there that speak English. LOL!

I have a planner that has an electronic Spanish/English dictionary. It really comes and handy when I come across a word that I don't understand.

Well, I can fluently speak Spanish but not as fast as the natives. I am in the process of learning French. You don't have to speak Spanish but it helps.
