Adventure Travel Ecuador: Consulting in Quito
May 22, 2001 - Quito, Ecuador
The Spanish language school business is extremely competitive in Quito. One-on-one classes can cost less than two dollars. Any one who speaks Spanish here can and often does call themselves a Spanish teacher.
I decided to brush up on some advanced grammar and I was introduced to two sisters and a brother who were just opening a new school.
They listened intently as I shared my insights into the mind of the gringo/ traveler/ consumer. “Change your name.” “Put a picture of the cute sisters in your ads.”
They implemented my ideas and I got free classes!! A heck of a deal for everyone.
Learning Spanish here is an incredible deal here. You can get weekly homestay packages that include meals and a cultural exchange certainly not available at the Hilton. And there is a weekly Salsa dance class included. I recommend my new friends at La Puerta Latina very highly.
