Hi, this is my first post.
We will be moving to the Lakeside once our house sells. It is so exciting! I grew up in the United States and became a teacher. I taught English and Spanish to both adults and children. When I get to the lake I want to form a group of friends who want to learn Spanish and Mexican cooking. It would be like a cooking club with the host house rotating every month. We would cook, learn ingredients and converse all in Spanish!

A nice idea. Except for the "converse all in Spanish" part. You are unlikely to encounter sufficient gringos (or Canadians) for a dinner party here who have mastered more than a humble, monosyllabic appreciation of Spanish. That's the bad news. The good news is that a majority of them are terminally tin-eared and thus revel in the fantasy that they are fluent in the language.
