Today´s classes featured conversations in "primaria" with the school´s little kids all of whom had prepared questions to ask in English. Learning English has become of paramount importance here, as in the rest of Europe, and even young adolescents are tri-lingual, speaking Spanish and Catalan as their native languages, and taking on English and often German as a 4th. It is a good reminder to us Americans to get going and work on our Spanish at the very least.
Today´s excursion is to Parc Güell, the utopian vision of Antoni Gaudí, father of the movement known as Modernism and architect of Sagrada Familia, one of Europe´s great cathedrals.
We continue to enjoy wonderful hospitality from the administration and teachers of Pare Manyanet and especially from host students and their families.
Força Barça!!
