COINED, a Spanish Immersion School in Buenos Aires, Argentina – a Review

April 30th, 2009 1 Comment

My wife and I are at two different levels of learning, so we felt that we got a good sense, between us, of what the school would be like for most students. This was my first immersion school, but not my wife’s, so that added to the our overview of the school.

Academia Falcon in Guanajuato Mexico – a Review

March 19th, 2009 No Comments

The school wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t expensive, and it’s location wasn’t bad, but I won’t return to it and I cannot recommend it to others.
I should say, though, that we both loved Guanajuato. We would go back there in a heartbeat. But we would find a different language school.

Saturday Trip to see the Butterflies near Valle Bravo, Mexico

February 15th, 2009 No Comments

  We planned to begin our drive to the city of Valle Bravo around 9 a.m., but it was 10:30 before we got on the road. It was Saturday after all and it was going to be a day of relaxation as well as travel. Rodolfo works away from home during the week, so I [...]

Universidad Internacional (UNINTER) In Cuernavaca Mexico – a Review

February 15th, 2009 3 Comments

The first week of school was a challenge but I loved it. It was exactly as I remembered it from last year except this time I am taking 5 hours each day of private classes instead of group classes. Plus one group class – a lecture. The first three hours are for grammar. 50 minute [...]

Things to Consider When Choosing a Language School

February 13th, 2009 No Comments

Since there has been such difference in the Spanish immersion schools we’ve attended, we’ve been discussing what to look for in a school.  We tried to research our schools ahead of time, but still, you never really know until you get there.  Naturally, you want to look at their website.   And it’s a good idea [...]

School Starts – Monday in Cuernavaca Mexico

February 11th, 2009 No Comments

Sherry blogs:Monday morning we were served a good breakfast of scrambled eggs with roasted pablano peppers and onions, tortillas, salsa (of course!) and fresh squeezed orange juice. (Note: There is an abundance of fresh fruit here in Cuernavaca—all types. I recently grabbed an apple for a snack and it tasted like it was just picked [...]

First Full Day (a Sunday) in Cuernavaca Mexico

February 11th, 2009 No Comments

Sherry blogs:  Sunday Morning: Sunday morning was very laid back. We had agreed that breakfast would be at 10, so the house was quiet and I studied a little and worked on my blog a little. When 10 arrived, Martha and Rodolfo invited Trudy and me to go out for breakfast, so off we went. [...]

My Arrival in Cuernavaca Mexico for Immersion School

February 11th, 2009 No Comments

Sherry blogs:    The bus ride from the airport took two hours. Once outside of Mexico City, we started climbing toward Cuernavaca. I had forgotten that the area actually had quite a few trees (mostly pines) and didn’t look quite as dry as Oaxaca, Guanajuato or San Miguel. It felt good to arrive in Cuernavaca [...]

Academia Hispano Americana (AHA) in San Miguel de Allende Mexico: A Review

February 5th, 2009 No Comments

  AHA has a different approach. They’ve been around a lot time (since 1959) but they’ve kept up with the science of teaching language, and have their own unique style. And it works.     Orientation explained a lot of it. By the way, after the lazy approach that Academia Falcon in Guanajuato had to [...]
