Ashley: Erin, since you had expressed interest in the Spanish skillshare that I have done in the past that is intended to provide strategies to learn/improve your Spanish without taking a course but rather through our digital nomad lifestyle, I will happily provide it to you and others in the group. Kate and George have participated in the past, so feel free to ask them for an honest review ;) George: Oh yeah that was really fun!~ Kate: definitely recommend ;) Becky: I’d be intrested ;) Erin: Yesss I’m definitely in! Ashley: I am pretty much free to do this whenever you would like. However, in the interest of giving you some tips that you can begin to implement while in a Spanish-speaking country, it seems best to do this sooner rather than later. I am happy to do it before our Tuesday gathering tomorrow or Wednesday. When works best for you? Becky: Tuesday (aka today) works! I’ll be heading to the camp after lunch anyway to do work and hang before the Tuesday meeting starts.
