Gloria assembles all the ingredients.
PictureOn the cornmeal she loads the meats & veggies.

Gloria Bucardo cooks one of the finest dishes in Estelí, in all Latin America. Nacatamales are made lovingly with an assortment of meats, raisins and corn meal. Then wrapped in banana leaves and cooked for hours over a wood fire. The tender morsels melt in your mouth. This a special breakfast treat. http://www.spanishconversation.net/

PictureIntercambio http://www.spanishconversation.net/
It's Christmas Eve here in the garden at Spanish Conversation School of Estelí in Nicaragua. It's time for a language exchange session. There is a pleasant breeze blowing 78 degree dry mountain air around them.  From the left you have Brian, Caitlin and Dilma. Dilma was born in Nicaragua and is a native Spanish speaker with almost no English but is a fast learner. Brian and Caitlin are studying Spanish at our school. Brian is an intermediate and Caitlin is advanced and they are from different parts of the USA. They are taking turns making conversation in their own languages and teaching the others. It's very informal and a lot of fun.http://www.spanishconversation.net/

Yesterday hundreds and hundreds of fancy horses and riders graced the main parade route of the city of Estelí.
These are the best teams and individuals in the whole country of Nicaragua. The riders have taught their prized mounts how to dance to the rhythm of typical Spanish music and they can do their high-stepping prancing without music, responding only to the light and deft touches of their trainer's riding crops. It was a sensational show that lasted all day and into the cool mountain air of the Central American night. http://www.spanishconversation.net

    Hi, I'm Kenny. After I retired from Kodak in 2005 I started to visit Central America to learn Spanish. I discovered while attending various language schools that I didn't learn well using their methods. So I set about to find a better model. I think I have found it. Check out this web site and offer more suggestions to help build this model.
