I have been quite busy with classes this week (considering I added one and now have a total of 4 ‘real’ ones and 2 ‘others’-baile and cultural realities). I enjoy them all, especially the Teaching English as a Foreign Language class. It is conducted in English by a psychologist, so we talk about some interesting concepts, especially related to how people learn. Tomorrow I will begin some ‘student teaching’ in an adult English class taught by a woman who is from Denver. I am very excited to see this enthusiastic class of 10, but am nervous to find out if I really know the English language ☺ I probably could have played a few more games of banana grams or word bubbles before I left!
Monday evening we were able to see a flamenco show in the Center. A man performed first, then a woman, and finally the two together. It was very amazing to watch up close-they work so hard at what they do and put so much emotion into their dance. I am still enjoying our baile class, and think Lola is a miracle worker, because somehow I am memorizing the dances! Now I just have to work on the my style so I don’t look quite so clumsy.
A few thoughts about our daily lives here in Sevilla: Amanda and I have ‘our café’ where we go to work on the computers during the evening. It is called Pulido’s and is a 3 minute walk from our house. The owner knows us and we really don’t have to ask for our drinks anymore ☺ Across the street from that is our favorite shoe store that has shoes for really, really cheap. I think it is one of those overstock places, so we check every few days to see if there is anything new. I bought a pair a few weeks ago for 4 euro. Yes.
I think that is all for now. Granada this weekend, Friday and Saturday. After that, we have two more weeks of class until Semana Santa and our trip to Barcelona! Hasta luego hombres!
