Pelican Café Spanish Institute
By Paul Lyons
Now is the perfect time to learn Spanish in a revolutionary new way – The Pelican Café Spanish Emersion Institute. Instead of going to one of those expensive emersion programs in Guadalajara, Mexico or Xela, Guatemala, for a limited time The Pelican Café Spanish Emersion Institute is offering a fantastic emersion program in San Marcos, Guatemala. See the beautiful countryside. Interact with real Mayan people. Experience the thrill of true danger traveling on rural public transportation. At the same time you will be helping a noble cause: "The Bus Driver Assistant World Cup Awareness Foundation."
Yes, during the few weeks of the Football World Cup, you can work the job of a Guatemalan Bus Driver Assistant while the humble assistants can hang out at Jorge’s, and experience each and every World Cup match.
Instead of sitting in some posh café drinking a latte and attempting to say - "coma esta?" thirty times, you will be hanging out the front door of a colorful bus, yelling out commands in Spanish, hauling firewood and chickens up a ladder, collecting fares and making change in a completely new and strange currency. Think of the interesting stories you can tell your friends! Think of the retention! Now is the time! Enrollment is limited!

Phrases you will learn by the end of the course:
