Ah, is it possible to have a reverse culture shock? I think I am having one...the IES Buenos Aires program has about 140 students and maybe half of them are "advanced". I dont know how advanced they are because I have only met or seen maybe 5-6 people who can speak very well in spanish. I dont want to seem like I am better or anything like that, but I just really enjoy speaking Spanish and do not want to hang out with english speakers, constantly speaking in english or making comments that seem pretty stupid. I guess this is always the downside to being in such a large group of people while being abroad.
I hope I can meet people that also want to practice speaking spanish. And I hope that my senora in my host family (only one woman) is nice and will actually cook well. I already heard that another senora only made empanadas for dinner and nothing else. Does not sound very appetizing over a period of 4 months. I am going to be heading for the home stay tonight and will meet Cecilia Terrero.
Hope we get along!
