San Pedro El Viejo, Madrid

San Pedro El Viejo, Madrid
A very old corner of Madrid. San Pedro El Viejo is the church on the left and one of the very oldest in Madrid. In fact, if we discount all those that burnt down and were rebuilt, then it most definitely is the oldest!
My first week's immersion course students live a stone's throw from here but in different streets. Even though they work in the same company and knew each other vaguely (before their immersion course with me), they didn't know that they lived so close to each other!
I was lucky with with my students .One week in an immersion course environment needs good class dynamics and good EI skills. It worked very well with the first grouop ... now for group 2!

Wow, that was very strange that the students didn't realise they lived so close to one another. Now they've met properly, do you think they might just meet up after classes?

I hope your second group are as good as the first lot have been.

Thank you, Jenny.
Yes they got on very well. One is into amateur dramatics and the other plays in an amateur orchestra and they have allready promised each other to go to their next performances and to look out for each other int their company's lunch time.

Wonderful old buildings, in some of my favorite colors. It seems you've gotten people together, and not just in class! Good luck with Class No. 2!

Thank you, Diane.
I'm back home. 2nd class cancelled after we arrived. The 'leader' of the next bunch, a pompous, self -satisfied little Napolean of a man declared within 5 minutes of arriving that it wasn't what he expected at all. He phoned his company and they agreed with his request to cancel the course and they all went off! All we could do (me and a second teacher this time as they were going to be 4 students) was go home!
So I had cancelled my holiday for this and I doubt if I will get paid for the second week. And the necessity of earning a penny in the otherwise barren time of August was the sole reason why I didn't have a holiday. Having board and keep paid for a second week would have been very handy too! So I'm not a happy bunny.
I go to the academy tomorrow to see what can be salvaged. I know they are devastated too as this was a big contract for them.

Lovely colour on the old buildings. Nice to see them without cars. I wonder what the scene will look like when the trees mature. Hope Class 2 goes as well as Class 1.

Oh Andy, I'm so sorry to hear your news. I've got my fingers crossed you get paid and something gets salvaged from the situation.
