    I have tought Hebrew and Dutch to small groups.
    While I am interested in learning Spanish and improve my Arabic, the workaways could learn Dutch ,German, or Dutch with us.
    My wife has some experience with organic, sustainable gardening.
    In Holland she owned together with our daughter a big organic flower garden where clients could pick there own flowers.
    In Spain we now have a big garden, and where my wife intends also to make an organic, sustainable vegetable and fruitgarden.
