How to describe the experience we had last week is quite complex.
The project we are doing is an amazing idea in order to learn the language in another way. To my mind, that’s very important to know to how to communicate correctly in English with other people, especially if they are from abroad. This opportunity that we had was a perfect occasion to do it!
We were able to do something that, I think, not many students would ever do. Luckily, I and my classmates could do it! We talked with Spanish students from the USA. We exchanged opinions about many different and interesting topics.
In my personal case, I talked with Lucia, Maya and Daniel who were really talkative and knowledgeable. They were interested in very controversial and well-known topics, such as kidnappings, the policies of Hugo Chavez and what people all around the world think of him. Luckily, I knew something about these topics and I could help them a bit in their final projects.
That’s not all; we also talked about our daily routines and customs. We were able to spot how different we are as regards social customs! But these won’t prevent us to keep in touch and help each other when there’s a need; and why not…..making some new friends….ha!
It’s highly important to realize that this opportunity is unique and that we must take profit from it!
To sum up, I reckon this was a spectacular experience. I was able to take advantage from it and to learn that the most important part of learning a language is to know how to communicate with it!
Thanks Rita for giving us this exceptional and superb chance!
