What is TeachingChile?

TeachingChile is a two-month program whos main goal is to help advance the English language in Chile.  To date, just about 450 students from the USA have participated in the program.  There are six, two month sessions throughout the year each of which can take up to 16 students.  For this round, April 27-June 26, Kimmy and I are the only ones going.  It just so happens that TeachingChile has planned a reunion for April 30 for previous students of the program.  So even though we're the only two participating for this session we will be given the opportunity to meet with others who have done this in the past.  This is our invite.   

We'll start our journey with a three-week intensive Spanish course that goes Monday through Friday for only half days so depending on what type of work-load we have we may have a little time to do some exploring in the afternoons but the weekends are ours for sure!  After those three weeks are up we get placed into public schools and work with children to help them with the English language.  

The Challenge:  We don't speak great Spanish and the kids don't speak ANY English.
