The most exciting that has happened lately (other than realizing I do kind of know how to speak Spanish) is I found out where I am going to be working at the end of my 3 months of training.
I'm going to be moving to the city of Puebla, which is located in the state of Puebla. Puebla is a big city located about 90 miles southeast of Mexico City. I haven't been able to learn too much about Puebla, but I will be visiting in a couple weeks so I'm sure I will learn lots. I also learned that I will be working at Flor del Bosque a state park that is located just 15 minutes north of downtown Puebla. I don't have an exact job description, just a very general environmental education volunteer job description so even though I was under the impression I was going to be writing curriculum I know don't really know what exactly I'll be doing. Based on the little bit I've been able to translate from their website and the awesome tourist video I found in English it seems like it is going to be a great place to work for a couple years. I think the funniest thing I've learned is that they have a huge habitat for white-tailed deer, which just shocked me considering in many area of the US we have too many.
Or if you are wanting to challenge yourself by reading Spanish check out their website http://www.flordelbosque.pue.gob.mx/
That's it for now, next time I'll share some of the pics I've taken
Adios!

WOW! This is quite an impressive video. It seems like once your confortable and confident in your Spanish abilities, you will thrive like you've never thrived before. I love your attitude and excitement!
ReplyDeleteMaybe this will help, but because I still struggle with reading Azeri, I plug websites into google translator and it magically appears in English. I also think there will be less mistakes for Spanish since it's such a broadly used language.
