Mi Amigo

Hello Students. Mr. B checking in again. This week I would like to tell you about my dear friend Paco. Paco is a fellow teammate of mine whose parents are both from Argentina. Paco grew up speaking Spanish at home. It wasn’t until early on in elementary school that he started to learn English. Today, if you spoke to Paco you would never imagine that English is his second language. I myself practice my Spanish speaking skills with Paco.  Sometimes we use it to communicate back and forth when we like to be sneaky and not have those around us know what we are talking about. Over the years Paco has commended me on the improvement of my skills in Spanish but I am still nowhere near the fluency he has. I hope to continue to improve however and one day have the courage to go on a trip to Argentina on my own and visit  all the places Paco has told me that are near and dear to his heart.
