Vina del Mar - here I am!!!! :)


I arrrived to Vina del Mar in March and moved into my beautful little apartment. My favorite part about it is the view of the city. My landlady is so nice and there is even a free housekeeper who cleans my room once a week!!:) My neighbors are also very friendly and young. I started my job working as an English professor at a Language Institute called Tronwell. My students are university aged students to adults. It is different to teach older people, but my students are very nice and I am enjoying working with them. They all want to learn English very much because it is so important in this globolized world. This is similar to the United States, where it is important to learn Spanish. My students work very hard and spend hours a day (sometimes after a long day of work or school) at the institute studying in the language laborary or taking conversation classes. The people are work with are very nice - they are a mix of Chilean, Canadian and American professors - there ar 5 teachers in total. I miss my CSS family very much, and I think about my co-workers, students, and their families all of the time, but I feel like I am doing very important work here and for this I am thankful.
