Going to Spain in Winter
|
|
|
As my financial situation has improved a little, I was spontaneously considering going to Spain this Winter for a week, and hopefully spending that time with a guitar teacher... Of course Winter might not be the most attractive time weather-wise, but I want to do it for two reasons - first, because my upcoming Christmas holidays will be the only ones where I can go anywhere until next Summer, secondly, to test the waters for another crazy thought I had, which is spending my gap year in Spain (I'm still a high school student). So I was wondering - as schools like Carmen de las Cuevas don't have any courses during that time (and I'm bound by my holiday dates), and since it's probably somewhere around just before or shortly after New Year, do you think it would still be possible to find a teacher during that time? Or would they all be on vacation themselves? Additionally, another issue is that I don't speak a word of Spanish (yet..) (though I can understand some bits). If I go to Spain again in Summer, I will of course take care of that, but in this little time period I can't do much...does anyone know of any schools or individual teachers in Andalucia's bigger cities who can speak some basic English? And at the end, I'd also like to know whether you consider this a good (feasible) idea at all, or whether it would just be a waste of money - regarding the time of the year, my Spanish abilities and the duration of my stay (1 week). I just had this spontaneous burst of enthusiasm over it, and I want to decide before it's too late..
