The Stinky Girl Travels

So one of the fun things I've been doing lately is helping teach an English class at the local art school Xuchialt!  The class is part of the Access Program, a two year English course sponsored by the US Embassy, in which about 26 high school kids from the entire city are chosen to participate free of expense. The program is supposed to be pretty effective, because after two years, most students come out speaking English fairly fluently.  I've been helping by giving some culture lessons, which is really fun! I recently had to teach about symbols of the United States, which, to be honest, was as much of a lesson for me while researching it as it was for them. I also talked about the seasons, since Autumn and Spring technically don't exist here in Nicaragua.  I also help with general pronunciation, because it's beneficial for the students to hear English spoken by a native speaker, and sometimes answer random questions about what people actually say in the states vs. what...
