Día a Day

Rober: Jessica, ¿qué te pareció la experiencia tan común en España de ir de tapas cuando estuviste aquí? ¿Recuerdas algún sitio o alguna tapa que te llamara atención? Aunque sé que, como dijiste durante tu primera visita a Requena, no eres nada fácil de sorprender. Jessica: Jaja, es cierto. A lo mejor, debo trabajar en…

Rober: Maybe the weather wasn’t the best when we were visiting Glacier, but it did make for an outing we’ll never forget–we had Logan’s Pass all to ourselves, not even the bears wanted to be there with weather like that. Jessica: It’s true. Still, no one was complaining about the sun at Holland Lake the…

Brunch with Family Rober: Our first morning in Missoula was great. We woke up early and went to the local market to buy fruits and veggies for brunch. The brunch was a party with waffles and pancakes at Jessica and Jacob’s home, where we met their families. It was really fun! There were a lot…

Jessica: Recientemente, una amiga mía me preguntó consejos para llevar a cabo una conversación de intercambio. Y a decir verdad, para las conversaciones con Rober, nunca he pensado mucho en ello, siempre ha habido muchas cosas de las que hablar. ¿Recuerdas al principio las conversaciones y cómo empezamos? Early on, we talked a lot about…

Rober: A couple of years ago, after studying academic English for a while, I really wanted to gain more fluency and to start speaking real English. I looked for different options online and Facebook pages intended for that purpose, and started sending messages. Some people already had a partner or even a few, some just…
