Today was the first day of Spanish class. I had to wake up at six fifteen to get ready for some breakfast by six thirty. We had the usual, porridge and bread with peanut butter and jam, for breakfast. We were in the car by seven, and were supposed to be at the school by eight, but we were there a bit early. We took some group photos, then Jose the director of the school gave us some sheets to fill out. It was the hardest part of the whole class. After we filled out the forms we were separated into groups of twos: a student and a teacher. The teacher soon picked up on our level of Spanish and started teaching us accordingly. My teacher and I talked mainly about me. We talked about my familia, mi padre, madre, hermano, y dos hermanas. We talked about my future and what I may plan to do. We talked for a good two and a half hours in near perfect Spanish, and then between 10:30am and 11:00am the groups took a break where we just talked amongst ourselves. After our break we went back to our tutors and mine talked some more practicing some Spanish stuff like regular and irregular verbs in their different forms. School finished at noon, and our first four hour day of Spanish tutoring was complete. This similar schedule between 6:15 and noon was to continue for another four days. What we did after Spanish school was completely up to us. Being the first day, we got picked up from Spanish school by Bob.
