In three days I will leave for Argentina! I am excited, but nervous about having to speak Spanish all the time, and not knowing what things mean. Argentinians also speak very quickly, so I’m worried about having to ask people to repeat things a lot. I’m mostly excited though, and ready to get there after all the preparation.
Maybe we’ll get to meet Messi.
Also, I’ve never really been out of the country before, so I am excited to be in a place where there’s entirely Spanish, and learn how to navigate and explore a new place. Anne
You’ll do fine. Just use your language skills at every opportunity. Don’t worry about making mistakes. The local people will be so pleased at your efforts. And as I told another student, if one of your American friends speaks to you in English, answer in Spanish and try to stay in the language as much as possible. Each day you’ll feel more and more comfortable speaking. Have fun! Michele
