No Limits...: October 2010

What are Alan and Steven doing in Spain?

What are Alan and Steven doing in Spain?

We are teaching for the CIEE program, which stands for Council on International Educational Exchange. We lived in Sevilla, Spain for a month and took an immersion course that improved our knowledge of the Spanish language and culture. We lived with a host Señora which provided us 3 meals a day and laundry service. Following our stay in Sevilla, we moved together to a small town called Lucena where we will begin teaching English. The teaching assignment will begin approximately October 1st and conclude May 31, 2011.

We are placed at two different schools in Cabra, Spain in which the children range from the ages of 12-18. As Language and Culture Assistants, we provide the teacher and students with a native English accent along with providing first hand examples and experiences about the American culture.

Please read our posts to keep up with all of the unique experiences.

Blog Post - October 21, 2010

Alan and I decided to update the blog with a video discussion of our experiences rather than writing about them. This video includes explanations of finding an apartment in Lucena, our schools, trips to Granada and Malaga, internet, and mobile phones. Please let us know by commenting if you prefer our blog posts in writing or video.

Bloopers
This is a small collection of blooper clips that we did not make the final cut. We thought they were pretty humorous so we thought we would share them with you guys. Enjoy.
