We had the special opportunity this last week so hang out with these Brazilian students who are studying English. They were a hand selected group that was a part of a young Ambassadors program and for some reason or another weren't able to go abroad and apply their English skills. They did have the chance to come here to Recife and do things as a smaller group. I was so impressed with all of their English skills! They were all embarrassed at first but they all spoke very, very well. We spent an entire morning playing sports with these kids (who were just barely younger than me), teaching them how to play baseball, basketball and football. I never realized how difficult learning those sports must be for an outsider and it’s harder to explain everything than I thought it would be. Later in the week we received from a call from ABA to have a pizza and karaoke night with the same students. Everyone was having fun and singing their hearts out while eating some good pizza and enjoying the company that came with it.
