Learn to speak Spanish One-on-One:
 |
Classes are held five days a week for five hours daily, with the opportunity to practice outside of class with your Guatemalan family. At the beginning of each week, the trainer develops a plan of grammar points to work on with the student. In classes the students are confronted with grammar, exercises, lectures, dictations, vocabulary, conversation, etc. During the week trainers will work on areas of particular interest to students.
At the end of each week your "maestro" will elaborate on the main points which will be focused on the following week. In each subsequent week, the student builds on the previous week's progress, either with the same trainer or with a different one, according to the student's request.
In addition to language study, various aspects of Guatemalan life: political, cultural, social, environmental and others, are incorporated into the classes. In general, classes are held in the morning from 8:00 to 13:00. Each session includes a half-hour break, where you are free to relax in our kitchen or go outside and buy a snack from a traditional street vendor.
To offer complete immersion, classes will not only be held inside. You and your trainer will visit local markets, shops, parks and places near the school, according to your interest.
It is important to us that you are completely satisfied with both your host family and us in Ulew Tinimit at all times. We therefore carry out an evaluation on a weekly basis which gives you the opportunity to air your views and make any suggestions, which we always welcome! Library: The school's library of books and materials both in Spanish and English is constantly expanding. Students may borrow materials such as textbooks, dictionaries, magazines and novels.
However, you are advised to bring your own dictionary for your own convenience!
