In school, most of my students are on strike again. So the few that actually come are getting some fun, personal English practice. For example in one class we played a board game and read horoscopes. In gym class there were only 2 girls, so when the teacher left for a minute, I suggested we try out the stilts. When the teacher came back and saw us having a gay old time, she decided to bring out the 18-inch stilts that you actually tape to your feet/calves. Only one student dared to do it, so I tried, too. I was pretty good at at, and even managed to walk a short distance without holding on to someone. A new hidden talent?!
Then there is the youngest group that is obsessed with proving that I speak Spanish. A couple of students will stay back to observe me with teachers of other subjects, who I obviously speak in Spanish with. Then in class they yell (in Galician) "She speaks Spanish! She spoke Spanish yesterday, and with a good accent!" And I say "No, I only speak English." It took them a few minutes, but they finally made the connection that yes, I am replying to what they've said in Galician, so clearly I understand them. Also they never made the connection that when I explain a word in English, and then they confirm it in Spanish, I clearly know some Spanish translations. Haha, oh youth!
