American School of Recife

Today we visited the American School of Recife. It was interesting to visit a place in Recife Brazil where English is the predominate language! The classrooms looked a lot like american class rooms. What was better even was the group of students accompanying us! They're from all over Brazil. All of them had been selected for this group for being proficient in English! Some of them learned English through taking a class, and others learned through listening to music or even watching movies!

It's really amazing what a human being is capable of doing even with limited resources!
Afterwards we taught the kids how to play American games like football and baseball! I never realized how hard it is to explain a sport that someone is unfamiliar with.

Later, I went with about half of the group to the CCJ to continue the painting. It was a productive day!!

thanks for reading!!!
