What Makes a Good Spanish Teacher?
June 28th, 2009 2 Comments
We’ve found that about 10% of our teachers have been fairly bad (just like when we were in high school and college), 80% are okay (we learn stuff, enjoy it well enough), and 10% are terrific. The terrific ones inspire you and make you really look forward to the next day’s class. Now, it’s common to finish a Spanish class (especially an immersion class) and say “that was hard”, or “I think I learned a few things today”. But how great it is to come out of a class and say “That was FUN” or “I finally understand what those …. are all about now.” That’s the best. And even better, a really good teacher makes you come away from a class thinking that it was about YOU – that the teacher saw YOU and spoke to YOU and wanted YOU to succeed. Good feeling.

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.

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. [...]
