We have started teaching several private students in English. We each have two students, twice a week. We are teaching them how to speak proper conversational English. They all work for a U.S.-owned company and will eventually be required to speak English to the U.S. business-people that come down and do work in Argentina. They are each at a different level (intermediate and advanced), but all speak fairly well. It is enjoyable talking and learning more about Argentine culture and BA with the students, while teaching them customs and traditions of the U.S. culture.

Blake,
Glad to see you're doing what you're supposed to. It looks spectacular, and it sounds like your getting a lot out of the opportunity already.
I already miss you. Without you and Cohen, I felt like a freshman not knowing where to sit at lunch on the first day of school. I think I'm going to buddy up with Kean this year.
School's off to a good start. I got a lot of good kids. We had a really good speaker to start the year as well.
Take care,
Sweeney
