One may study a language for years but have a fear of speaking. Here I was speaking on the first day.

I have gone here 5 times, once for a 2 weeks' program in the summer & the others with retirees' groups. I will be returning this spring for my 6th visit. I can't say anything bad about the place, the staff, or the home-stays. Many of the people have been with them for a very long time. The neighborhood is quite convenient. The cost is amazingly low & I do like the city a lot. They sponsor field trips to many fascinating places. They have classes in crafts, dance, history & cooking. They really bend over backwards to please you!
