RV Vacation Means Teaching English
Glenn Woods and his wife Rose are not your typical snowbirds. They do spend
every winter living in Mexico but they do not spend their time lounging on the
beach. The pair spend two hours twice a week teaching English as a second
language to students at La Casa de los Ninos, which translates as The Home of
the Children. They also spend time on Friday afternoons teaching the Mexican
teachers the proper pronunciation of English words. Woods says the teachers are
very fast learners and within four weeks of teaching them, there was a huge
improvement in the teachers English. Thats the gem of our whole trip as far
as Im concerned, he says.
