This Summer

During the summer, the Spanish Course continues for those new to Mexico and studying Spanish. However, those who have been here a while and want to brush up their Spanish with a few classes are welcome also. This year we had quite a few summer students. There were even a few kids that came to have fun learning Spanish in a special kids class.
The director of the Spanish Course here travelled half the summer, so while she was gone I was left "in charge" and took over her grammar classes. I think it did more to help my grammar than any others. There is definately truth that the teacher gets more out of what he teaches than the students.
These are the teachers that helped out during the summer. With the extra students, we had to have a few extra teachers. Juan, Noel, Danny (regular teacher), Pati (regular teacher), Monica, and Erick, missing: Arehmi.
Several students had already taken off to take a quick trip to the US by the time we got this picture taken. This is most of the ones that I was with all summer, though.
At the end, we had a traditional Mexican meal, discada, to celebrate summer school's end. There is an endless variety of what you can cook in the disco, but we had hamburger, ham, bacon, onion, green peppers, and jalapenos. That together with fresh corn tortillas made an excellent meal.
