Improve English in Wine Country with Lizz
I live in the heart of Sonoma Valley Wine Country where there is always something fun to do.
I offer intensive English lessons combined with great activities to get the most out of your immersive language experience with a California lifestyle.
I live alone, so you will get my full attention, and our time will be planned to provide useful linguistic input, meeting and interviewing new people, discussing issues and events, and interacting with all that the North Bay offers.
I can host four people in two (shared) bedrooms. The two bedrooms share one bathroom.
A combination of high quality homecooked meals and local restaurant fare is included in the accommodation price. Most outings and activities are no cost, but shows and special events may incur additional costs.
Morning starts with breakfast indoors or out - the weather is perfect here.
Around 9 am, we start English curriculum designed for your goals and to improve your listening and speaking skills. Lessons can range from 2-5 hours/day and be incorporated into activities outside the house. (Lessons need to be taken as extra, not included in the price)
For our break, we either prepare lunch in the house, have a picnic on the go, or choose a restaurant somewhere on our path to an activity. Afternoon lessons can guide planned experiences, like wine/food pairings; art gallery visits; shopping excursions in small towns and markets; and museum and history center tours.
Special events are also great ways to increase language ability and lessons can also be planned for baseball games, comedies, dramas, musicals, and classic car shows.
In addition, I plan "Meetup" events, so you can meet and talk with other local people, who are glad to help you improve your English.
At home, you can help with dinner as part of your English lessons by preparing meals from well-illustrated recipe cards and pre-measured ingredients.
Some meals will be taken out to experience a few of the restaurant specialties and dining habits locally enjoyed.
