Classmates

The school we have been attending has a a wide assortment of students. Each week new students arrive from all around the world and others return home or head off to voluteer sites stationed around Costa Rica.

They has been a high amount of German women, while very few German men. Random young men/women from other countries: Sweden, Netherlands, Scotland, England, Italy, Switzerland,

A elementary school of students from Bermuda arrive this week. They are around 8 years old, very loud and obnoxious-just like kids should be!

There had been a U.S. group of students from a college from the Northeast U.S. They were traveling around Costa Rica on a study abroad program centered on biology.

We've also had some interesting characters in our classes. Krystle had a very talkative American woman in her class for 1 hour, but she removed herself from class and started taking 1 on 1 classes. She talked alot about her life instead of the material that the class was about. She had recently lived in Mexico and was very interested in flexing what she believed to be good spanish. At least it was good if you like Spanish with a southern drall.

I had a american woman studying at the University of Florida in my class. She came for a week to refresh her spanish. She was completing a master degree in Geography and had plans in October to travel to Venezuela and live with a local tribe for 2 months. She was going to study an economic role of a local product the woman of the village created. It was very interesting and she was very fluent. It was great practice for me to listen to her speak, because she spoke clearly enough for me to understand! That was a fun week!

Next week will be our last week in school. We are both close to finishing book 3, the final book of the school. It's exciting to work so far through the Advanced book as we will still be in Costa Rica for another 2 months after class ends and have plenty of opportunity to study the books in more detail and review important concepts.
