We went to a school again today. We watched an English Class of 14/15 year olds. It was really fascinating ! We compared our spanish book and their english book (textbook). They also were starting to read Dracula, in English. It is impressive that they are learning English. The teacher spoke good English. We then got to talk to them and giggle with them about our level of Spanish and their level of English. They loved talking to us and asking us questions in both Spanish and English - so I get Spanglish. Tonight some of my groupmates are going to a bar type thing for a Spanglish exchange. It is a 'fiesta' if you will and it is a exchange for both people learning Spanish and English. I'm excited. It is nice to have another weekend. This week of Spanish we had four days of class but five hours of spanish a day! A lot.
Last night my housemate Ashley and I went to look for cheap leather ..which is in this one area called Palermo. We found some really beautiful leather jackets. We probably are going to go back ..I think I found one I want to buy!
Tomorrow is our day to lead our classmates on a tour. Last weekend we went on a tour to San Telmo, etc. ...It is part of our assignments but will be fun to show our classmates our barrio (neighborhood, if you will). We are planning on taking them to Evita's grave, our favorite bakery, and some of the plazas around that area. It isone of the girls birthdays so we are also going to a mall to check that out. Everything is different but Argentina is very European. I was told today I look, or have the face, of an Argentian. :) That is awesome as far as I'm concerned.
I am going to download pictures to facebook. My skype name is lynn.rossi3. BUT I HAVE BAD INTERNET CONNECTION so that is why I haven't updated a lot, etc. SoRRY. We are pretty busy daily but I am enjoying it very much. We are taking a tango class next week and hopefully will go to a show . The shows are expensive, however, it will probably be worth it.
Hope you are all doing well. Miss you
