Guatemalan Flag in New York Parade 2010

Just thought you'd like to see the Flag of Guatemala in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in Manhattan, New York, 2010. This photo was taken on Thanksgiving Day 2010 just around the corner from Times Square. It's a huge parade and really great to see that Guatemala was represented.

As use of the Spanish language increases in the United States we are very happy to help students, business people and travellers to learn Spanish or improve the Spanish they already have. If you can't visit one of the Spanish schools in Guatemala, Spanish School Jabel Tinamit (Panajachel) offers Spanish lessons over the Internet. For details see http://www.jabeltinamit.com

The Internet is fantastic for teaching Spanish. Of course, he sees a big picture of me - its just like we are in a face-to-face Spanish lesson here in Guatemala.

I have been taking online Spanish classes with Gregorio for almost a year.

I have been taking online classes with Gregorio for almost a year. The one-on-one customized attention that I get is incredibly helpful. Myteacher understands my Spanish abilities and is able to challenge me and shape the lessons accordingly. He is also quite flexible -- finding time to study around my busy and unpredictable schedule. Anyone with a computer and a good internet service now has the ability to connect and interact with people from previously unreachable corners of the globe. I am glad that I have taken this opportunity to improve my Spanish and learn more about another culture.

My online Spanish classes with Candelaria

Learning online has been a very positive experience for me. It has allowed me to learn language like youngsters learn language. They listen, repeat words, make phrases, and finally speak with sentences. Children learn tenses, vocabulary, and concepts very naturally. My online classes with Candelaria have allowed me to pursue this style of learning. My frustration with the artificial style that language schools use was immense. Why conjugate verbs on day one of class? Why was I using only the present tense after three weeks of attending classes? Why could I not speak the language? Learn to speak the basics and make your self understood in more than the present tense and then enhance with the conjugations and other things is my philosophy.

Learning online with Candelaria has allowed me to put my thoughts about what should be happening into practice. It has allowed me to taylor my program. It also gives me flexibility for my class sessions and my study time.

Thank you Candelaria.
