Special cooking lesson: Korean food
Last thursday we had a special cooking lesson: in the evening we
prepared Korean food for dinner with the help of one of our students
from Korea. Among the food were Korean specialities like bibimbap
and bulgogi. After
enjoying the delicious food, we went to a salsa lesson together to
learn some basics of this South American dance. We had a wonderful
night with great food and a lot of fun!

Conversation lesson at the market
Today two of the conversation classes of La Herradura went to a
market close to the school to practice Spanish "on the street".
Talking to different people on the market was an interesting and
enjoyable way to improve communication skills and get in contact with
Uruguayans.
Here are some pictures of the activity

An afternoon with children who live at a shelter
Yesterday a group of students of La Herradura went to a shelter
for children with mental disabilities to spend the afternoon with
them. This shelter is one of the volunteer options for students of La
Herradura. In the beginning we visited the shelter and got an
introduction to their work by the children and the director.
Afterwards we went outside with the children to play football and
other games. We enjoyed our time together very much and spent the
afternoon smiling and joking a lot with the children who received us
very openly and warmly.

Carnaval internacional
En esta semana de
fiesta de Carnaval, en nuestra clase de conversación compartimos entre todos
nuestros estudiantes cómo se celebra el Carnaval en cada uno de sus países. Los
estadounidenses nos hablaron del Mardi Gras, el carnaval en Nueva Orleans, una
fiesta ancestral que encuentra sus orígenes en la migración francesa católica
que llegó al sur de Estados Unidos durante el siglo XVIII. Literalmente
significa “martes graso”, una fiesta que tiene lugar un día antes del Miércoles
de Ceniza, y que marca el final del periodo de excesos antes de iniciar el ayuno
y el recogimiento de la Cuaresma previa a la Semana Santa. Durante esta fiesta
la ciudad se llena de desfiles y de disfraces y las mujeres coleccionan collares
de colores que son lanzados desde las ventanas de las casas.
En el sur de
Alemania también se celebra el carnaval, con desfiles, música y muchos
disfraces.
Algo más reciente es
el Carnaval de Veracruz, en México, cuya fiesta grande se celebra desde hace no
más de un siglo y que comienza con la quema del “mal humor” y que, después de
nueve días de desfiles, fiestas y color, termina con el entierro de Juan
Carnaval, un final parecido al del entierro de la sardina que marca el final del
carnaval en España.
