Kia Ora Benny,

Thank you for writing to me again.

 The organic part of the Course is almost the same for both those learning applied "Organic Farming" and "Conversation English" Course.

 "Backpackers" is really for people who speak English as a first Language or who come for their second visit  ..  They do not live in the house. They are fit. (We usually only take a maximum of three -- singles or couples -- per year.)

 Students come here for a "Conversation English" course (NZ$ TARRIF for 10 days, 100 hours of tuition; all meals and stay in guest bedroom)  We have only one from any country at a time so they have to speak only English. They quickly think in English - which makes learning so much quicker... and they learn a different way to add English words to their vocabulary.  It really works.

 The Organic Course is also a full guest experience -- includes all meals and living in the guest bedroom(s).  This is like a guest coming to stay but with an experience course "added on". The charges are the same as they both involve my total attention for 10 days. If there are two or three people they can share Tutor time and the "added" charges -- but they must all speak English as their first language, so we are not also ensuring they understand the English words.

 Usually then, the Organic Course is for people who speak English first language -- they get a more intensive explanation of applied Organic methods. The "Conversation Language"  students get in depth experience on how to use English in conversation, (and a different way to learn new English words.) 

 Backpackers are also guests, so they are 'working' as an experience they can discuss with us for their added knowledge - but they may do many jobs on their own.  Because they pay all costs directly related to their being here, they are not 'workers' and thus do not receive "money or reward" for their input.

 Thank you for asking -- I have given you an answer.  I will now transfer to the web pages.
