I go back to school

Yes, I quit my job, bought a sailboat and moved to Mexico and what do I do.....I go back to school! Although I can get by with the very limited Spanish that I can remember from High School, I feel I'm missing out on so much and at times, wishing I could communicate better w/ the locals. So, with that said, I signed up for a crash refresher course at a local school.

I just had my first lesson and basically covered everything I had after a year in High School! The school is great, the teacher very skilled and knowledgeable. She taught elementary in a small town outside of La Paz for 4 years prior to the language school. The school's name is http://www.sehablalapaz.com/lapaz.html

The founder left the Hospital Administration field about 9 years ago and came to La Paz to start the school. I met her last week and got a great vibe from her so I signed up for a week. It's $250/week for about 10 hours of private instruction. Depending on what happens, I may sign up for another or take a month off while I sharpen my skills. Regardless, I regret cheating my way through Spanish in HS. If knew how much beer money it would cost me here in Mexico, I definitely would have thought twice about it!
