!Hola! My name is Agustín García. I am a teacher of Spanish based in the Southern coast of Spain. I am from Galicia, in the Northwest of Spain. I did my university studies in Santiago de Compostela.
I am looking for students interested in learning or improving their Spanish to enrol in a innovative, original and highly attractive project.
The plan consists in following Saint James Way, the world famous pilgrimage, learning Spanish on the way.
Classes will be given during the walk, but in a way totally integrated in the route: the majority being conversational practice which will take place during the hours of the journey, and will be based in the experiences lived in it and in the information of interest about Saint James way. I will be available for students at all times to give lessons and to resolve doubts. The hours of learning will cover the whole day, delivered in a caring and professional manner.
The communicative needs found during the route will be resolved immediately, achieving a much deeper and effective learning than the ones offered by the conventional courses.
The walk will start the 20th of June 2010 inRoncesvalles , a few kilometres away from the French frontier. We will finish the 17th of July in Santiago de Compostela, after 28 days of long walk and more than 700 kilometres. Most of the days we will walk about 20 or 25 kilometres, but some we will make more than 30.
When we arrive to Santiago, I will be available for another week (until 25th of July, Saint James festival) to keep on with the Spanish course and show the members of the group Galicia, the region where I am from.
