This week I started Spanish lessons at AMIGOS Spanish School in cusco. It´s almost everything I hoped for except that there are not other student my age...
I enrolled in a group session but the one other student (in my ¨group¨) never showed up, so it´s just me.
My teacher is great though, her name is Claudia and she is very laid back and funny. like me.
I´m learning allot with her becasue one on one is super intense but all in all i´m getting what I came for.
One cool thing about the school is that it is a non- profit organization, and all the money that I pay, and other student who pay for spanish lessons, goes to help teach peruvian kids from the projects in cusco to learn English. Mid class we break and the spanish students and the eniglish students intermingle with eachother and help eachother practice the language we are learning... half the time speaking english to eachother and half speaking spanish.
Since Ít was just me learning spanish today, ALL the kids were surrounding me. Most of them didn´t know english very well yet so it was mostly an all spanish conversation but some older kids were getting there.
It´s a little bit tough not having other student at the school because it´s hard to meet people except for in the bars and out dancing. We shall see....
