Course scope

A clear regional baseline

Practice a documented beginner baseline that explains courteous usted and introduces familiar vos without pretending usage is uniform.

Know who the phrase fits

The course uses usted for strangers and service interactions, then introduces familiar vos. Keep usted and vos verb forms separate.

Listening

Regional audio, available offline

Offline audio uses a configured Costa Rican Spanish synthetic voice. It does not represent every Costa Rican speaker.

Research boundary

Sources and limits stay visible

Regional claims are checked against relevant language authorities and first-party destination sources. No single city, voice, or course can represent every speaker.
