UNC PT Outreach: Spanish School Shenanigans

Future PTs in front of the Volcano outside our house!

This morning we had the pleasure of waking up to the sounds of a volcano around 5:00am. According to our Spanish Instructors, this is normal. For us, not so much! We were fortunate to be able to clearly view one of the three volcanoes prior to our walk to our Spanish lesson.

We broke up into groups according to prior Spanish training and current level of comfort with the language. Each group had a phenomenal experience with our instructors, leaving laughing about various conversations that ensued.

Jennell and Bria were enjoying their time with their instructor, Ingrid, learning the ins and outs of party planning for Bart's birthday on Friday. They also conversed about the local music scene, schools, government, and live here in Antigua. Of course, Medical Spanish was discussed and practiced, which will be helpful in our coming days in the clinic, hospital, and schools.

Carly enjoyed the lighthearted-nature of their lesson, stating that their instructor enjoyed having a laugh at their attempts at speaking. She was able to remember some of the skills she learned in high school, which was very helpful.
