While you're working at ILC, you can study Spanish in Amazonas. Remember that there are very few people in Amazonas (or even outside of Miraflores/Cusco), who speak English, so further travel will be made a lot easier if you can communicate. You can study at beginner level, or intermediate level, or simply take conversation classes to make sure you understand the castellano spoken in Peru. You can study daily at 10.00am, or take a longer, more intensive class at any time during the weekends when you're not exploring the Amazonas region. Normally, we charge students $7 per hour for Spanish classes, including materials. For ILC teachers, this is reduced to $5 per hour. There are further discounts available if you study in a group or if you decide to study for a month or even longer. Some of your fellow staff members will already speak Spanish well. Others will be confused by the rapid speed of Peruvian Spanish. Yet others will be beginners, or wanting to brush up on things long forgotten. If you are working at the same time as a non-Spanish speaker, it’s a good idea to get together to study at a lower price. [Vanessa Carr]
