Excited to refine my Spanish.

Hola, I have been in Costa Rica since September 2025. I am a temporary resident here and live in my house with my 5 dogs. I was widowed in 2025 and am fulfilling a dream My husband and I had to live in a warm tropical climate. I need to be able to converse in stores and with my neighbors who are all Tico. I do a weekly tutorial session with a tutor in Columbia, he is a fellow Brit. I am 70 and a retired Emergency Room nurse, I have worked in the UK, USA, Ireland, and Canada ( my most recent home before here). I found the videos I watched on You tube, for this course, have made a huge difference to my speaking. Duolingo gave me a huge vocabulary, but not the skills to form sentences
