After a glorious weekend enjoying the sandy beaches of beautiful Playa Samara, our second week of teaching is underway. It was great to get back and see the kids even though the hugs weren´t great for my ridiculous sun burn-- I promise I wore sunscreen.
The language barrier is definitely getting easier. I was able to communicate with my family quite well the past few days and the students also. I am excited because we are getting to know our students and doing some fun activities with them. We are talking about the solar system with two of the classes and then about animal habitats with the other one. I´m learning that a lot of teaching English is about pronunciation, which is funny because that is the hardest part of Spanish for me!
I am excited about Spanish class this week, and we have also been getting a great deal of help from the teachers at the school and Karla.
Nicoya is becoming more familiar to me as well. I think I can find my way home from just about anywhere now! I am excited to see what the rest of the week has in store!
