Spanish Class / CAPEA Day!

Today was my first Spanish class here at IE. It was quite interesting because we're being taught entirely in Spanish (we would probably understand only 10-20% of what was being said). But I guess the language institution running the program knows best~ and that's why we're being taught the language in this manner.

The video above is one of the things we were taught to memorize. I personally found it entertaining, hehe. It's SO Spanish!



Tomorrow is CAPEA day! Organized by the Spanish Outreach Club at IE, this half-day event will take students to a bull stadium on the outskirts of Madrid. There, we'll be treated to an authentic Spanish lunch (lotsa grilled food, I heard) and an open bar of beer, wine and Sangria (uh-oh!). There will be bullfighting sessions for beginners as can be seen from the video above. And, well, there'll be a professional photographer around to capture interesting moments / highlights during the day.

It costs 40 Euros for this event... sounds pretty reasonable to me considering it includes transportation, food as well as the service / experience of being there. It seems a lot of my classmates signed up for it too~ so it should be quite interesting. Better charge my camera now! Photos to follow!
