Guadalajara Learning Centre, Tlaquepaque


Left: Katie from San Francisco, but living in Durango, Mex. She says people stare at her so much because she has blue eyes, but they ought to know that they work just the same.

Right: The school: Guadalajara Learning Centre is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone.

All the teachers were very smart people, and a lot of fun. By having tailored classes, you can really get ahead with the language. When you get home, there's no let up: everyone's talking Mexican Spanish, so you can apply what you know. And when you wake up, it's "how did you sleep" etc, all in spanish.

People stayed at school for 2 - 4 weeks mostly.

Left:
Lili: teacher
Betty: Montreal, Canada
Laura: teacher, the cultural expert regards Aztecs, Toltecs, Olmecs, etc.
Ty: Amarillo, Texas says the common word for a singlet is a "wife beater"
Jim: Minneapolis, Minnesota. Wants to start up cabinet making or similar here.
Eli: Pensicola, Florida. Will own 5 Raceway gas stations, and 5 Subway sandwich franchises by the age of 25.
Victor: teacher, can explain any word in primitive Spanish for the newcomers.
