Hola - Como te va?
Today Jen and I will end the first week of our Castellano / Spanish classes. In Argentina they speak Castellano which is slightly different than regular Spanish. For instance, the double "ll" sound such as "pollo" (poh yo) would be pronounced "poh sho." All the double "ll" have an "sh" sound. Kind of throws me (us) off a bit from the regular Spanish throughout the rest of S. America. Our teacher (Silvynia) seems to be pretty good. She only speaks to us in Spanish the whole time (as she doesn't speak much English) which I believe is helpful. She works out of her house in San Telmo (barrio in Buenos Aires - neighborhood that is). It's nice as it's just Jen and I. Great price too. We are heading to Brazil in October for a bit as well where they speak Portuguese and that will throw us off a bit more... :). I do speak a little Portuguese so it will be fun to use it. Gui - onde voce esta??
It's Friday around 2pm and we have class in 2 hours. Been catching up with a couple different missionaries today as it is cold and rainy outside. We have a contact in Curitiba, Brazil and Santiago, Chile. We're currently trying to set up some missions work with our contact in Chile for December/January time frame. I will keep you posted as plans progress.
Time for some Mate (Mah teh)...
