Dear Gary

I tried 2 weeks at the university in Chia at a cost of $200 a week and without doubt the worst learning experience of my life.

Gary, except for high school Spanish, I pretty much taught myself. One GREAT TRICK was to marry a Mexican gal.
  Until you find a school...use the tv, shows you've already seen, cartoons are also good. Your basic police/shoot em up are
good..."stop police" "shoot the %##%"  you'll find you catch on. Since my Spanish is Good luck.

For learning you should check out schools in Manizales or ask if the teacher of the school of your choice is from this city.  Spanish speakers from Mnaizales h e the least amount of accent and for me are the easiest to understand.  I took classes before arriving to Colombia and I was told I speak Spanish like a Mexican. Since I have been learning Spanish in Manizales people say my accent is clear and understandable, not like other gringos. 

Good luck in your search!
