Alas I am too old, but thanks for the info. It looks like an interesting program.

I'll be telling Juliana about this. She is so trying to find a way to stay longer in Spain! To her parents, it would be great that she would have some money coming in, if she does get to stay!

Pedmar -TT is "too old" for that specific program for teacher assistants!
Just be aware that the stipend offered is really not enough to live on but just a litle something.the good news is that you would be there legaly and could easily supplement it with private lessons! I wish I was younger to take advantage of this opportunity!

I think you have to have special permission to be over 30 or 35. (I forget the limit) It sounds like it's more a program for people who are just out of college like Jacmom's daughter. But Crisco is right, it would be a good way to have legal work and then supplement, unless you were independently wealthy.
