I`m in Quetzaltenango. It´s a beautiful town in the mountains. Not as beautiful as Antigua, but there are less tourist and I can practice my Spanish much better over here. My new Spanish language school found me a voluntary project with kids of 6 to 12 years old. In this place are 94 very poor orphan kids. I told my school I normally give lessons of improv in the Netherlands. Once I was talking to the director of the project about my interest he immediately booked me for 5 lessons of improv this week. He was very excited. And I got very excited and very nervous. When I walked out of the school I thought...Oooo Binkie how are you going to do this in Spanish. Today I met 10 kids and I did some games for half an hour. Man,it was dificult to explain the games, but it was much fun too. Tommorow I`ve got an hour of improv with a group of 15 niñas.
Probably after 5 lessons (if they let me do that much after my first lesson, haha) I´ll be much more clear in giving commands in Spanish.
¡Que te vaya bien!

Hey Binkie,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLeuk leuk leuk. Wat heb je al veel gedaan! Het lijkt of je al veel langer weg bent. Maud zegt nog bijna iedere dag: "Tante Binkie is in Zuid-Amerika". We missen je allemaal wel hoor! Hopelijk zien we je in juni. Liefs de Gruijtertjes.
Het lijkt voor mij ook al bijna of ik hier hoor. Ik vertel steeds als iemand vraagt of ik broes of zussen heb: Tengo dos hermanas. Soy de enmedia. Mi hermana menor tiene dos hijas, mis primas Maud y Floor.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHoop jullie ook te zien in juni.
Muchos besos Binkie
