So work proved to be a bit too crazy for the time being. It wasn´t possible to do Spanish classes and to work in Guatemala city at the same time. Tono and I both felt that once my Spanish is better I will be more effective in the office. I also feel like Spanish classes will have a bigger payoff in the longrun anyways.
I just met with Stella`s friend Aura. She´s a private tutor. She`s been a teacher for 20 years here. And after a bit of negotiation she´s quite a bit cheaper than school too. We start class tomorrow…
Spanish is probably good. Last week I was overseeing the installation of some steel structure at one of our projects and I may as well have been in Guatemala as only the guy in charge (Our Guatemalan GC) would speak to me in English.
Good decision. Now is the time to master Espanol. I hope you’ll be my teacher some day.
haha…. i know!! coming back for just school now?! yah…. i know nancy did not take ESL class at all, but i also know some people took it for 2 years before they even go to real school for real program…….
learning language is not one day thing..
Brian,
Have not visited the site in a couple of weeks. Amazing how much has taken place in such a short time. Agree with the other folks, school is a high first priority…good luck.
