San Juan Del Sur - Spanish School

Update time!
So I have finished my 2 weeks in San Juan Del Sur. I had a great time learned tons of Spanish. I am now much more comfortable talking in and about the past ( preterito y imperfecto). Gracias mil a mis profesores ( y señor invivible- he knows who he is). I will miss them all so much and all the fun we had together. Amanda, Elieser, Ceidy, Yerlanda, George, Belkis, Veronica. Also I am going to miss my host family. Especially Maria deJesus (who was a great cook), her daughter Liana (who would watch cartoons with me) and her husband Julio Ceasar ( who help me to stay cool during an encounter with the Police). That encounter will not be posted but if you are curious you can write me directly.

There were various activities in the afternoons. We visited various points of interest, Grenada ( where I currently am); Masaya, which is famous for its artisans; Volcan (??), smelled of sulfur and was know to intermitiently spew rocks and other hot debris, and various beaches.

In addition to doing tourist type things we also had community service activities. We had a celebration complete with piñata, cake, ice cream and candy for a local orphanage and montisori school supported by the procededs from the language school. In addition we had a celebration at a local school for childern with disabilities. The students in the language program donated money to buy a toilet for the school. The director of the language school is trying to extend the scope of the language school inclde suporting this school. Another activity included giving classes in english. Myself and 2 other students volunteered our time to teach anyone who wanted to learn or practice pronounciation. Teaching for these couple of hours was very invigorating. It did however point out how much I don´t remeber about the way I learned to speak english and also how little I know about english grammar. The pictures are all from my time in San Juan del Sur.
