this is a piece of blatant advertising (if it gets thru' he who must be obeyed) there is an excellent Spanish school located in the mountains above Achuapa near to Esteli.The school is run by and benefits campesinos with all profits going back to the community. The deal is you pay your $120 (or so) go there by bus or 4x4 and you stay with a campesino family board and food included in the price.The lessons are for about 4hrs in the day, either in a classroom or out in el campo. The theory is that total immersion in a language brings rapid results. I spent 10 months there (on my nephews farm)and although slightly biased i can highly reccomend the school.These guys really need all the support they can get so rather than going to a big school in Managua or somesuch why not give them a go? You can contact them at: Web-site: www.hijosdelmaiz.net sorry if this is a bit of an advert but i figure these lovely people need us, after all we need them too.

The school looks . . . like a terrific opportunity to learn español in immersion. The name might frighten off those familiar with the work of Stephen King. The "Hijos del Maiz" or Children of the Corn was a horror novel by that author. Oops.
