Disfrutando del fruto de mi trabajo
Nada mejor que una empanada después de la experiencia de hacerlas
Jugando al Tenis
I played tennis against one of my Spanish teachers, Diego for the second time on Tuesday night. We played two sets and tied 1-1. Playing on clay courts is a lot of fun. The main difference is it is hard to run fast so if you come to the net, it is easy to get lobbed.

This is Ariel my spanish teacher. I found him and his school, Experiencia Buenos Aires (the Buenos Aires experience) because I was talking to a bartender who used to be a Spanish teacher with Ariel. I was asking for a recommendation of a school and she suggested I call him.
This school´s philosophy is based less on classroom teaching and more on getting out into the city and practicing your spanish there.
On Wednesday, I went to a traditional spanish school and took a two-hour grammar lesson. It was painful. Basically, my Spanish vocabulary is great, but apparently I talk something like this (Next Tuesday, I went to the movies, then I will go to the restaurant).
I don´t know if I want to spend my whole trip working on that, so I signed up for Experiencia Buenos Aires. Basically, I sat down with Ariel and the other teacher Diego and told them what activities I wanted to do (improve my spanish, play tennis on a clay court, try tango, learn more about Argentinian politics and history, see an Argentinian movie and discuss it, learn how to cook one Argentinian meal). Then, I pay them about $8 an hour and we do the activities along with a pre-lesson (e.g. flashcards for tango vocabulary before the tango club)and then do the activitity while they correct all of my Spanish errors.
