Native German speakers to come and help me out in Colima, Mexico

Details

  Description

  My name is Roberto and I’m 36 years old. I currently live with my roommate and dogs.
  I’m interested in body disciplines: besides dance, I’ve started practicing Kung-fu.
  I’m interested in learning German, so this is my main reason to come to Workaway, to learn and practice with native speakers.
  I'm an introvert open-minded respectful guy who welcomes human diversity.
  You can be sure that we are going to make you feel very welcome and comfortable, as we understand that living abroad with total strangers is quite an experience.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  As in the city I live, most people don’t speak another language besides Spanish, it will be a nice opportunity for you to practice the language.
  You will be able to watch how a regular Mexican person eats, thinks, and lives in general.
  You can come with me to the dance and Kung-fu classes I attend. I also tend to go to events that have to do with yoga or meditation. These classes are not expensive and I think you can afford them easily: for dance class (once a week) I pay $19 American dollars a month approximately, and for Kung-fu class (four days a week) I pay $23 American dollars a month approximately. These scenarios would be suitable for you to practice Spanish and get to know more people.

  Help

  You’d be required to help in house, such as sweeping and mopping the floor, cleaning with cloth some of the furniture, et cetera, also walking the dog.
  I’d like to practice German with you for at least 1 hour a day by studying a specific topic: it would be preferable if you have some organised lessons to teach, although this is not a rigid requirement.
  If you have any questions, pleased don't hesitate to ask :-)

  What else ...

  I live in the capital of a small state of Mexico called “Colima” (the name of the capital is the same as the name of the state). It’s a state located at the western side of the country and it has a coast to the Pacific Ocean, so the beach is not far from the capital. Its weather is tropical but because of the various altitudes, it has different landscapes, which is attractive to visitors.
  As the work you’d be required to do is not quite time-demanding, you’ll have the opportunity to spend your spare time to know the city and surroundings. It’s easy to go to big cities in Mexico from Colima, so that won't be a problem.
