This morning was the beginning of my course. Around 60 of us walked to the Language Centre, following a guide as it was our first day. I'm not sure that I remember the way yet, so will have to make sure I go with others to lessen the chances of getting lost!Today I met the other two kiwis who are here - Tina from Tauranga and Nicole from Napier. Both teach at secondary schools, and both are immigrants to NZ. Tina has been in NZ 4 years and is British and Nicole met and married a kiwi in South America. She has been in NZ for 10 years.
I have 2 classes a day - each for 2 hours, so it is hard going, especially as it is all in Spanish, with lots of colloquialisms that I have never heard of! I think I understand about half of what is said, and take a guess at the rest. We had a welcome from the University of Granada and the Ministry of Education - at least I think it was a welcome lol!
We finish at 1.30pm, walk back to the hotel, have lunch and then a siesta. The weather was quite warm today - too hot to be wandering around outside!
I am meeting people from all round the world - Brazil, Russia, Romania, Turkey, USA, Australia, South America, Madagascar etc - as you can see, we are a mixed lot.
