WONDERFUL NEWS and a powerful reason to come to Veracruz: June 25, 2019 Here’s some great news about our school's most popular teacher ever !!!!!!!! Angelica started in a local university during our last year running the school. Her major was accounting, and now she had her degree and title. (It’s correct in Mexico to address her as Contadora. But she’s an especially special friend, and we, and you, will always call her Angelica.) More than anything she has ever done, she loved teaching Spanish to foreigners the very best. Her eight years teaching for us, of course, have her more than fully ready to teach. Her degree and the year she spent working as an accountant, have her ready to open up on her own. Yesterday she asked if we’d let everybody know. Angelica has our 100% support. (If it were mathematically possible, she’d have our 100,000,000% support.) We’d love to visit with you for a few minutes, and so we hope you’ll get hold of Angelica through us. You can contact Angelica on WhatsApp. Her number is +52 1 (229) 109-7369. We're sure you can imagine how happy we are for her. And also how proud we are. |

Please read: July 25, 2017 As you’ve probably seen in prior notices, we (Eric and Linda Langner) closed our Language Immersion School several years ago. We’re retired and living in Paradise, living in our wonderful, traditional home in Veracruz, Mexico. (The school name continues in Veracruz, but we are not associated with it.) We have kept our school’s website online so that those looking at Linda’s books can see what our immersion school was like. Linda has published 14 books. (And I, Eric, am as proud as can be of her.) You can see Linda’s books here inside our site or on Linda’s Amazon Author Page or on LindaLangnerBooks. Her books, in both Kindle and paperback formats, are available to everyone on Amazon.com. |

Please read: updated 3/26/17 School Is Closed, and We’re Retired and Busy as can Be. The school name, The Language Immersion School, continues, but we (Eric and Linda) are no longer associated with it. This is site we used for our school. It isn’t the new school’s site. Linda and I are now fully retired. Retirement in Veracruz, in Paradise as our son says, is wonderful. Each day life for us is pure pleasure. We wish we had retired forty or fifty years ago. We’re so busy doing things we love to do that the day is always too short, nighttime arrives too fast. Linda, in addition to playing the piano (she’s now working on Beethoven’s piano concertos), taking up the guitar, and exploring Julia Child’s recipes, has written two books and is working on the third and fourth. She’s always been a natural teacher, and these books are Linda at her best. She’s taken blogs about Veracruz I wrote over the years for our school’s website and prepared them is Spanish—Spanish the way a learned native speaker would write them. And then she added copious explanatory footnotes. She already has enough material for six books. The first book is now available in Amazon in Kindle format. And I’m so relaxed and rejuvenated having rested a year that I’m blogging about Veracruz once again. So Linda will keep having blogs to incorporate and books to write for as long as she wants. Some of you know that our daughter was very sick. A year and a half ago she had a stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma. Today’s medical science is incredible. At her six month battery of tests her system was without any indication of residual cancer. And if anything her just taken 18th month battery of tests has even better results. With her six month results so good, we began to relax. And during the year between then and now we’ve rested up, emotionally rested up. We closed the school to be with her during her treatment, and we’re so glad we were there. Closing the school left us retired. We’re so thankful she’s okay. And, much less important of course, we’re so thankful we’re retired. We miss having the school—actually we miss all the folks who came to school. Not having so many friends around is the only downside to being retired. My immediate next big project is to work in our website and build pages where Linda can place her books and talk about them. COMPLETED And then my next, next big project is to get into Amazon to offer them both as Kindle books and as paperbacks. COMPLETED My projects are trivial compared to what Linda’s doing. I’m a proud husband, a husband who knows how lucky he is to have such a wonderful, loving wife. I have to stop writing and get to work. I promised to have everything done and in our site and in Amazon by the end of the February.I get to start playing the guitar until my fingertips ache, and read, and try to sketch and ... I’m on it. Eric (of Linda and Eric) Langner, 12/2/16 3/26/2017 |
Our Spanish immersion is far south in traditional, colonial Veracruz and right on the ocean.
Veracruz always has been and is today one of the world's safest cities. Come to where it's still very, very safe in Latin America. One-half block in from the ocean's edge, two blocks from the beach, and three blocks from our small, ocean-going craft, the school is located in a spacious and charming, old, fully air conditioned, colonial home. Along with instruction and Out-and-About Labs, school includes room, meals, and materials.
Click on the map to go to a waterfront layout. Day trips--talking-in-Spanish trips--take you to pyramids and other ruins, the third highest mountain peak in North America, scuba and snorkling on the Veracruz coral reef system, river rafting, and dozens and dozens of cities, towns, and villages all different from one another. The Veracruz Coral Reef System is made up of 15 major reef structures.
This is the northern half of the system. Click on the map to see the entire system. Visit us on Contact us: If you're a dancer, while you're here you can arrange to study the balletfolklorico. And even if you aren't a dancer, the visuals and live music are wonderful.
Ballet Folklórico is everywhere in Veracruz. On Wednedsay nights a group performs on the malecon. An overnight trip will take you to the Voladores de Papantla
Veracruz is 100% alive and always fun. We're close to the harbor, close to the malecon, close to the historic and ever-vibrant downtown, and connected to everywhere with abundant public transportation. You'll never want the day to end. But it's okay because just like today, every tomorrow is also one of the best days of your life. We invite you to join us for Spanish Immersion. The School's Address and Phone Veracruz Is Very Far South In Mexico And Is Very, Very Safe. The heartbreaking, terrible violence up along the border does not affect this part of the country. You can still come to Mexico and be safe--safer than in many other Latin American countries. We're always very happy to discuss safety with you. Our Veracruz and Spanish Immersion Blog
