While we’re laying cards on the table ...

.... I failed English at school.  Miserably - I believe I got an O level D - which I understand means “dunce”

I later in life discovered I enjoyed some English literature, and was fascinated as to the origin of the language itself.  I began listening to lectures from “The Great Courses” on the origins of language in general and English in particular (boy ... do I have some comebacks for anyone who says they speak “proper” English 😂😂) and around that time decided to move to Spain.

I thence discovered the joy of the Spanish language, it’s richness and variety - and it’s idioms; so I began learning and also studying the foundation of the language - where and how it was born and of course it’s structure - the grammar.

Computer nerds not being in great need down these parts, I also studied for a TEFL qualification so I could teach English; a lot of the deeper and more complex grammar names of English parts still challenge me .... but I progress.  And I now teach English as a second language to a few students, some of whom are starting on this long and arduous journey and speak no English...... having some knowledge of Spanish and it’s structure therefore becomes somewhat necessary .....

This post that was quoted has been deleted.

I’ve learnt many things in the University of life; the most important being not to judge anyone - or indeed any book 😁 by its cover or any other facet of its being.

If ever you find yourself in Vera, you’d be most welcome to drop into the studio for a chat and a sit down and a cup of whatever brew pleases you (within reason ...)

Hola Darío. Me gustaría mucho retomar su oferta de una charla y un brebaje (solo té). Acabo de reservar vuelos y estará en el área del 21 al 28 de septiembre. Excepto el lunes por la tarde, por favor, dígame cuándo es conveniente para usted. Saludos. Lee.
PS. If I've got more than half of this right, I'm awarding myself a gold star.

Hola Lee - muy bien, bien hecho

Lo siento, no tenemos brebajes - pero tenemos bebidas 😁 - ciertamente puedo ofrecerte té. vale, estoy aquí los lunes por la mañana, a partir de las 10:30 hasta las 14:00 (y los lunes por la tarde a partir de las 17:30 hasta las 20:30 también, pero creo que no estás disponible), los martes en el mismo tiempo por las mañanas (tengo clase de inglés a las 18:00), los miércoles estoy aquí a la misma hora que los lunes - a partir de las 10:30 hasta las 14:00 y a partir de las 17:30 hasta las 20:00.  Los jueves es un poco difícil para me, pero los viernes estoy aquí a partir de las 17:30 hasta las 20:00, cuando empieza nuestra clase de yoga .... y los sábados estoy aquí a partir de las 10:30 hasta las 13:30 

Me parece que tienes algunas opciones 😁

Tengo ganas de conocerte, cuando puedes

En lugar de “para ser exacto” creo que es mejor para decir “en concreto” - “in particular”

Entonces - sí, el martes de 24 de septiembre está bien.  No más temprano de 10:30 por favor porque abrimos a las 10:30 😁
