  I´m José, 27 years old, Mexican, traveler, English And Spanish teacher.
  Seeking for an English French. Portuguese or German native speaker with a good level of English, Americans, and English are welcome as well.
  Minimun stay 4 weeks or longer.
  
  For 2024 the minimum stay will be 8 weeks.
  
  We have a language School in Escuintla, Chiapas, a small city on the Pacific coast in Mexico. The school is 40 minutes from the Sierra Madre Mountains and forty minutes from pristine beaches. There are beautiful waterfalls, swimming holes, and hiking trails in the mountains. Two biosphere reserves (national parks) are nearby: the Triunfo and the Encrucijada. Charrerías (Mexican rodeo) and Folk dancing is also popular here. If you want to learn about real Mexican culture, this is the place. It is a genuine, 100% Mexican city with almost no recent foreign influence. In fact, in a county of 35,000 people, We are also just two hours from Guatemala. We live in our school where we work so it's literally a schoolhouse. It's great to see the students interacting with people from outside the community who know about the world and have wonderful stories and experiences to share. We try to open the students' eyes to other ways of seeing the world: to ideas and norms different from what they see every day in their small community. Teaching experience is not necessary, just a keen interest in sharing your language. To repeat: you MUST enjoy sharing your language and culture. If you see this as the only thing you may be able to do and don't love it, don't come, we need enthusiasm as we love what we do. You will have your own room in the schoolhouse. We have a big yard (for the city) and we are just six blocks from the market. We love animals and have a Dog named Hiroki and a Cat, Kala.

  This area is great for learning about genuine Mexican culture as it is off the beaten track. You can practice your Spanish daily and we'll be happy to help you with your language skills. there's folk dance, charrerías (traditional Mexican rodeos), and if you're interested in cooking there is a lot of delicious truly unique cuisine and drinks in the region like mole, gringas, garnachas, tlascalate, posole, posol, etcetera. People in the area harvest cacao and coffee beans, so there is excellent coffee and chocolate. The women and men here are always happy to share their knowledge!

  Unterkunft

  Our school is a traditional brick and wood, terracotta-roofed villa. You will be sleeping in a shared room. We have a room in the garden that was an open veranda and a smaller room in the house. There is a big yard and we are 6 blocks from the market. We have excellent WIFI. As this is a traditional and purely Mexican area so we are unaware of any vegans in the area, however with the market full of fresh produce we're sure the food is available. You would be provided with groceries if your needs are specific.

The old German colony of Santo Domingo is just two hours away. Two national parks, the Triunfo and Encrucijada are nearby. The Encrucijada is a great place to explore mangrove estuaries and see crocodiles and wildfowl. The Triunfo has quetzals, monkeys and lots of wildlife as well as incredible mountain views from the cloud forest.
