It sounds like a place where anyone could benefit from studying/living there, no matter his/her level of Spanish. I also enjoyed the remedy that Marcia brought back from there for mosquitoes...

My name has a é in it, in order to write it i only have to use "Alt gr + e" and this is the case with letters with accents so i dont understand your long winded explanation,
Thanks for writing, most people don't bother.

I have lived in San Andres for 15 years. A reasonable article for a two week stay. I don't agree with a lot that was said. The name of the Lake is Lake Peten Itza and not Lake Flores.

Wow, what an experience! and really a great way to truly learn any language. You can go to school & memorize the words, but you have to hear & speak it 24/7 to really learn how to properly have a conversation. My husband always says the best way to learn a language is to just live it & speak it. That is how he learned Spanish because growing up in NYC,his grandparents did not speak English, so he had no choice but to learn Spanish. And it worked.

Marcia, you are a wonderful writer & story teller. I can actually visualize everything you experienced in Guatemala. I can understand why you want to return!
Thank you for sharing your EcoEscuela experience with us.

It's a shame that it's poisonous and such a threat because it sure is beautiful! I can imagine how splendid it must look swimming around with such fancy tentacles.
