Answer 1

¡Hola! I am trying to learn Spanish to make traveling and communicating with others more interesting and fun. My wife and I are planning to return to Guatemala in 2013 over Samana Santa. We travelled to Guatemala in 1997 with a group from BC, Canada where we live. It was an amazing trip, and we visited Antigua over Semana Santa, and also visited Tikal, Lake Atitlan area and did some volunteer work in a small village. We are excited to return and will be bringing our two boys with us. We are all signed up with SpanishDict.com and are eager to increase our understanding of Spanish. There are many great people here that have helped us already! Muchas gracias!

Have fun. Be safe, and try to translate your answers to Spanish:) - viejito, Jun 23, 2012

Don't forget to call me when you come to Lake Atitlán! - --Mariana--, Jun 23, 2012

Answer 2

I have lived at Lake Atitlán (Where RichSean is coming to visit) for over a year now, and I do several volunteer jobs. I teach English to the young Mayan children (4-6 year-old kids) in my village of Tzununá. I also help a clinic to care for the stray dogs.

Moving to Guatemala turned out to be a great decision and I have decided to stay for awhile.

He vivido en Lago Atitlán en Guatemala (Donde RichSean va a visitar) durante más que un año ahora, y hago varios trabajos como voluntaria. Enseño inglés a los jóvenes Maya (4-6 años de edad) en mi adea de Tzununá. También les ayudo en un hospitalito para perros callajeros.

Mudarme a Guatemala salió una decisión buenísima y decidí quedarme un rato.

Lovely woman! Good on ya for your work! :)) - Noetol, Jun 23, 2012
