The company I work for- Ingles Empresarial- shares the building with a Spanish school named COSI (Costa Rica Spanish Institute). So there are often new students coming in and out who are taking Spanish lessons. Anyway there was a new batch of students today that were there while I was lesson planning and I couldn't help but laugh out loud just a little bit. Most of the students are college kids from the United States, but this time there was a Japanese student and a girl from Switzerland trying to communicate and it was pretty funny because the Japanese guy didn't speak any English. So the Japanese guy is trying to ask this girl in his beginner Spanish why his internet isn't working and why hers is, and why his keyboard is screwed up. The girl is trying to explain back to him in Spanish, and her Spanish is even worse, so she has no idea how to say things like keybord or your computer is frozen and she is flayling her arms and trying to speak with arm actions and I am just dying. It was the guy's first day and he is so frustrated because he was trying to send this long letter in Japanese, but the internet is messed up like it always is at COSI. Anyone I felt a little bad laughing, but it was hilarious. And the best part was the guy was trying to teach her some words in Japanese when they were talking like "en Japones decimos blah blah" and the look on the girl's face was priceless because of course she had no idea what he was saying and wasn't trying to learn Japanese.
I picked up another class today. It is with a group of advanced student's in La Uruca, 15 minutes from downtown San Jose. I was getting a little bored with only two classes for about a month, but now I will have three again, so I am looking forward to it.
One hour until game one. GO RAYS.
