Better Classes
This is how to go to school folks! Or as the kids say “This is how I roll.” Forget taking the hot, crowded subway and dodging people in noisy, crowded downtown area. Forget a congested, dilapidated, hot “school building.” Forget frustrations with the school and disrespect for the students. I have private classes!
The classes cost 50% less than at the school and Maria earns 300% more. It’s a win-win situation. I pay her directly, she’s always in a good mood, and we have class wherever and whenever we want. Right now, I’m taking classes for 3 hours a day, 4 days a week. The time flies by because she’s an excellent, well-qualified teacher with a likable personality. We’ve been meeting in various cafes in Recoleta. She can go to her other job after classes and I can stroll to my classes is about 25 minutes. It feels more like meeting and learning with a friend than having a class.
It feel like a different life right now. I’m living in my own place, with complete freedom, and taking classes in the aforementioned manner. Before, relatively speaking, I was paying a lot for a homestay program with a tiny room, capricious old woman, and an inability to cook. At the same time, I was enrolled in a school that allowed me to make new friends but also frustrated me to no end. If anyone wants to learn Spanish, let me know and I’ll hook you up with accommodations that will allow you to bypass all this! Even if it’s only for a short time, I guarantee you’d enjoy it.
