“Disco”
“I saw you this weekend.” Says one of my 18-year-old students.
“Oh you did? I replay. I quickly try to figure out what I did last weekend. All I did was go to the mall and out to the discos. Hopefully she says me at the mall.

“California Accent”
“¿Qué tal?”

“Teacher’s Lounge”
“Adriana, did you get anything to eat?”
“Yeah, I tried some of the Spanish Omelet. It’s my favorite food in Spain so far.”
“Good, good. Today is Alberto’s birthday,” she says as she points out Alberto to me.
“He is going to… I don’t know how to say it in English, but this is his last year.”
“Ah, he’s going to retire after this year,” I say to her.
“Yes! So we are having food for that.”
