Join me - learning Spanish in Medellin, daily, on quiet balcony

I need someone to join me in learning Spanish - preferably almost daily for about 1.5 hours.
My teacher is well educated, trilingual (Spanish, English, French) and friendly.
Having run a language school in France for 12 years, spent 6 months doing the (Spanish) language institutes in Medellin and another 3 months in Buenos Aires, I'm beginning to acquire a 'knowledge' of these matters.
You learn better in a group - hence this 'call'.
Lessons (in a group) cost less than 20,000 pesos each (phew - £6 an hour).

C'mon - you know you want (need) to ......

Location - balcony of one of Medellin's best loved hostels - near El Poblado 'Exito' supermarket

¨20,000 pesos each¨

Seems like you are getting overcharged. I would think you can find a good teacher to do this for less that 25,000 for the entire group.

'........the price of everything, the value of nothing'.
It's not a 'price' thing - it's value.
Written on an Apple - 40% more expensive than a PC (shock, horror).

Oh, just realized it is through a hostel so the hostel is making money...they probably pay that teacher 25,000 and hour, if that.

I thought it was you, Hugfrancis, that was getting ripped off so I was trying to warn you. But now I see it is you that is taking advantage of Gringos.

Go easy, This is the Blacksheep hostel and if Yadi is the instructor she will blow you away with her teaching abilities. I personally do private classes with her three hours a week. Everyone says they can teach, but she trully can. There is another instructor at work on the balcony when I do my class and she is pleasent and she seems to have satisfied students.

It is a comfortable balcony and there are always a ton of foreigners in and out of the place.
