Preparing for Albania

(Trainers wearing white tags). Both Paul McAlister and I were trained in German in the MTC. We transferred to Albania and learned the language from local teachers. It was there that I appreaciated the high quality of MTC instruction.
Later Paul and I taught Albanian language and culture in the MTC. 

Teaching at the MTC

In the Missionary Training Center (MTC), you become conversant in a foreign language in 2 months. I first went through as a missionary, then I chose to teach. Training sessions are intense, generally 3 per day, 3-4 hours each.
