August 02, 2005Taller Flamenco Seville, Day FourBecause we’re all different abilities we don’t all do the same classes. There are different sets of people in each of my classes. René from New York and Ivana from Austria are in both choreography and Spanish. At the end of every day is our Spanish lesson. David Sola teaches Spanish at school level and is also contracted to provide support to a local gypsy family, where he acts on their behalf for what seems like anything. Ivana is a fantastic linguist but since lessons are laid back and quite unstructured, learning Spanish is still fun. It’s nice to meet other students too, and our national differences make the lessons even more interesting. David is very patient and our lessons are mostly verbal due to overwhelming request from the students. Also in the class are Sabine and Deborah from Italy and Salome from America. After class I got seriously lost on the way back to the room but saw a lot of a very interesting area, then took a wrong turn on the way between the school and the hotel. I have no idea how I managed it, I only need to follow one straight line, but it was very useful because I stumbled on Plaza de Alfalfa which is near Don Quijote Seville, the language school I visited in June. Rob at Don Quijote had very generously arranged for me to use their internet while I’m here. I’m going to need it, because Explorer is the only programme enabled at the single available Taller internet enabled machine. I can’t even cut and paste from word document and certainly can’t Skype anyone. Photo log starts here: Seville August 2005 and ends here
