The Second Family

In Argentina the students are with the same class of students for all of high school. The know everything about each other and are essentially a second family. Its actually and interesting concept and has it negative and positive aspects. Today there was a big assembly to greet the Brazilian exchange students. At Manuel Belgrano Secondary School each year some of the Argentinean students go to Brazil and the Brazilians come here for three months. The students flooded the plaza at the Brazilian and Argentinean anthems rang in the air. For lunch the students eat across the street at a bar restaurant type of thing, the place is packed as students sit down to eat what is considered the most important meal of the day here. After lunch I had French I can hardly believe I’m trying to learn French in Spanish.
Je-Yo-I
Tu-Tu-You
Il/Elle-Elle/El-She/He
Nous-Nosotros-We
Essentially its just a lot more work I have to translate everything from French to Spanish and Spanish to English. After school my friends walked me to the bus stop; I’m proud to announce that I have conquered the bus system here. I’m even starting to remember street names.
