Join Dr. Marsha Riddle Buly in Queretaro Mexico for two weeks this summer. The program starts August 4th and ends August 17th. It’s a FABULOUS DEAL! Less than $2500 for EVERYTHING—AIRFARE, 45 hours of Spanish, 3 full days of excursions (Guanajuato, Bernal, Pyramids outside Mexico City), PRIVATE room home-stay with 3 meals a day (except Sundays), GREAT language school, Mexican pals for conversation, a celebratory cooking class, a beautiful colonial city… THERE IS NO NEED TO BE AN EDUCATOR IN ORDER TO ATTEND THE SPANISH CLASSES—all classes are based on individual “levels” (from novice to expert, there’s always more to learn).
