When I'm not at school I live with my host family. They are very nice, but we don't communicate much, because they don't speak English and I don't speak Spanish. When I first arrived they were watching Costa Rica beat Guadalupe at futbol (soccer) 5 to 1.
The first goal was scored with a bicycle kick back over the head. When that happened my host family went wild; clapping and yelling "pura vida" which means pure life. The Costa Ricans say "pura vida" to describe anything good or anything Costa Rican.
The house is small but very neat. There are six people in the family and sometimes it seems very crowded. I am the only person with my own room. One of my host sisters also runs a hairdressing business out of the house.
My host mom feeds me constantly. She cooks huge delicious meals every day. I'm practicing saying "estoy lleno gracias" - which means -"I'm full thank you."

Does she use Lizano salsa in her recipes?
ReplyDeleteHave you told her about Beth's World Famous Black Bean Dip?
Might another reason you don't communicate much with your host family be that you don't speak Spanish?
