Life Update: Week 4 of Classes

This week is our final week of grammar class or whatever this class is. Monday in our grammar class, Timothy and Morgan introduced our teacher to some nice videos, such as Obama's Victory Dance and then taught her the dance. In our culture class after that we were introduced to "Que dificil es hablar el espanol" because we introduced her to Billy La Bufanda. Tuesday in our grammar class we took the written portion of our test and had a discussion on a bunch of topics, one of which was Climate Change. Basically I could have formed great arguments against some of the things people said because of my Climate Change class last semester, but the whole talking idea threw me off slightly. Let's be honest here, I rarely talk unless I have to, though sometimes here I chime in without being prompted. It's weird because I normally need to be prompted to talk.
Our internship on Monday wasn't too bad this time. We had small groups for the skill building "class" where you just sat there and chatted. I'm too awkward for such life but for the most part my groups kept the conversation going, except the person who didn't want to be there. That person would answer if we asked 'em something but I suck at coming up with questions. At first one of them wasn't sure how to talk to me since they didn't think I spoke Spanish, and they had to ask someone else how to talk to me. Then other people would want to talk to me in English since they are talking English classes as well and want to practice, so they would talk in a mixture of English and Spanish. Much like how people just learning Spanish in the US do it, say whatever words they can remember in English and then the rest in their native tongue. That was probably the hardest to understand because they kept switching languages and its really hard to catch what they are saying when they speak English because it sounds so different than in the US. Accents are hard....
