  Description

  Come learn Spanish and travel around the country with the family in Alicante, Spain - females only
  (See update under "Help")
  
  We are a Thai - Spanish family. Our family language is English. We enjoy food and a relaxed conversation at home, doing sports and a night of live jazz music from time to time.
  
  We live in San Juan, beach of Alicante, a very international community, with our twin, 14-y-o boys, who are half Chinese, and a younger child. San Juan offers one of the most beautiful beaches in this part of the Mediterranean
  
  We give particular care to quality of life, to the education of the children and to health. This translates into (a) the quality of our apartment and surroundings (next to a sports centre and golf course, pools, children playground, and about 1.3 km to the beach) and the variety of food, (b) setting up a challenging yet fun learning environment for the children, for example to support them learning Mandarin or participating in maths competitions, and (c) doing sports, workout, frequent walks, etc.

  Help

  There are two aspects where help would be welcome
  a) with the education of the children, mostly language-related but it could include maths. In particular Mandarin, the children should speak Mandarin more often, but they also study French and German. Under the direction of the wife , the guest will take the children through reading, writing, conversation and other activities.
  
  b) healthy life. The father lacks the organisation (and sometimes will) to prioritise doing exercise, workout in the gym, swimming in the pool or in the sea, walking around the city, etc. The helper would do those activities with the father, and organise the different exercises. The father has osteoarthritis and the helper could also support areas of nutrition, etc.
