Thanks to my incredible employer, I'm off to Cuernavaca, Mexico to study Spanish and culture! I will be staying with a family, taking classes and exploring Cuernavaca; here is a preview of what I will be posting about in the next three weeks (June 22-July 12)!
Family: Esther works in the Ministry of Education in Morelos and Humberto is an engineer; their daughter is studying at the preparatoria. The house will be a fifteen minute walk from my school!
Language and Culture for Educator's Program: A 3 week program (i will attend during the second two weeks) that includes intensive Spanish classes and a variety of cultural/educational activities such as weekend excursions, guest speakers, museum visits, roundtable discussions, encounters with local schools k-12+ and community groups, videos, etc.) and a homestay. Here are some topics of discussion that we will focus on and places we will visit:
- Neoliberalismo y Globalizacion
- Visit Tepoztlan
- Historia General de Mexico
- Las Claves de la Masacre
- Visit Museo Cuauhnahuac
- Excursion to Xochicalco y Taxco
I will take private Spanish instruction during my third week, as well as, explore the city of Cuernavaca!
I will be posting about my experiences while I am in Mexico and hope to hear from all of you!
