I would like to book with you to study at your school. I will be arriving on October 15th and will be there until October 27th.
Your teacher, Nidia Barrios was recommended to me. If she is available, I would like to work with her. It was also recommended that I stay with Marta Julia. Is it possible that you could arrange that as well.
My Spanish is at an intermediate level. I have a large vocabulary but need to practice speaking.
I look forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
Jim
