Pueblo Ingles / English Village

June 1st

You know what's great?

Free transportation, food and 4-star hotel lodgings in the mountains in southern Spain...

...in exchange for talking to people for 8 days.

I heard of this program, Pueblo Ingles (English Village) from a student I've been tutoring in Madrid - basically, it's an English immersion program for Spaniards to improve their English by spending 5-8 days (depending on the program) in a village somewhere in Spain speaking over 100 hours with native speakers.

I was accepted into the 8-day program in Coto del Valle, 5 hours south of Madrid by bus. It is a resort smack dab in the heart of the Cazorla National park in the Jaen region.

I've got nothin' but time and English as my native tongue so I'm goin!

Love,
Katie
