I attended classes in Antigua, Guatemala and the instructors only spoke Spanish. No English. It was difficult, but I did raise my speaking level and comprehension after a while. Hang in there.<br /><br />Have you had a chance to do any Geocaching while you are in Spain? That would be interesting to pick up a few caches in a foreign country. <br /><br />We are enjoying your blog about Saville and look forward to each days adventure. We spent some time in Madrid and Toledo and really enjoyed our time there. Hope to get back sometime soon.Clark Ramblinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713435758075556066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155514213922491267.post-85556085868140484532013-02-25T13:58:30.928-06:002013-02-25T13:58:30.928-06:00Good for you.

Learning and living the customs as you are and for sure enjoying the food would be fun, but I am afraid I just would not have the patience you do for the classes....so you go girl..... make us all proud!

I agree that the people and the customs ~ an Austrian living in Istanbul? would be the most interesting and fun.<br /><br />The accents must be a hoot! When I lived in old Mexico for a bit ... I met a guy from Brooklyn who was married to native Mexican ~ they had come down for a family visit.<br /><br />Let me tell you ... a guy ~ oh, and he was a policeman ~ from Brooklyn, New York speaking Spanish ... I mean ... eh? Kapassoo for Qué pasó<br /><br />lol... I can still see that guy with his body language along with the accent ... hilarious<br /><br />diphthongs must be a hoot in your class... love itCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663919207326700505noreply@blogger.com
