No aqui, alli.

Aqui means "here" and Alli means "there." They are my two favourite Spanish words as its possible to create an entire conversation only using the two of them!! I'm obviously getting really good at this language...

So, my classes at school are going really well. The kids seem lovely. My favourite class so far though, I only met yesterday (due to last weeks holiday) and I LOVE THEM! Mostly because their questions began, "Do you like football?" From that point on I knew we were going to get along well.
"What team do you support?"
"Roma, because Scottish teams aren't very good...."
*They all giggle* "But what Spanish team?"
"Barca"
Half of the class "Yay!" the other half "Boo!"
"Who is your favourite player?" asks a boy at the back who I'm convinced was asleep until football was mentioned!
"Well," I said - suspense - "It used to be Fernando Torres, but now he plays for Chelsea... so I can't like him anymore" he and all the other boys in the class nod enthusiastically, "So probably Messi." Big grins all round.
"Did you watch the match between Scotland and Spain?"
"Yes I did. But we're not talking about that otherwise we won't be friends okay?"

So yeah. I love that class.

I've had to buy a blazer. Because I liked the colour? Yes. Because it was cheap? Yes. But mostly, because I was feeling really weird being in a school and not wearing a blazer!! Although I keep going to get things out of my pockets... my blazer doesn't have pockets...

One major thing I've noticed about Spain is that you cannot, and I mean CANNOT reply with a simple "yes" to any question.
The answer must be, "Si, si, vale, vale, vale, bueno bueno."
Which roughly translates as "Yes, yes, okay, okay, good, good."
Otherwise they don't believe that you really mean it!
