GREETINGS FROM AUSTRALIA!!!!


Hi everyone,
Thank you for welcoming us to your school! We had a great time and were impressed with your English language skills.
We loved travelling around Salamanca and are sad that we cannot find much tortilla in Adelaide.
Our flight home was good but very long! Baby Amelia slept a lot and only cried a little bit.
Amelia is nearly 6 months old now so I will soon be giving her some Vegemite to try!

Kristie and Rachel´s grandmom with  Amelia.

G'day everyone!! I thought it would be nice to say hello on your blog. We really enjoyed our trip to Salamanca and the many beautiful historical buildings. The local food was delicious (tortilla was my favourite). We especially loved the Plaza Mayor where we enjoyed quite a few cuppas, but the highlight for me was the time we spent at your school. We received a wonderful welcome and everyone was so interested to meet and share time with us. Your presentations were excellent and we were impressed with your English language skills and the way you understood us even when we got a bit excited and spoke too fast!  
I think you are very lucky to go to school at Villamayor - it is such a lovely place and your school has a friendly atmosphere where everyone smiles and laughs a lot. It is easy to see why Kristie loves being there and working with you all. I am back at work now and have told many people about our visit. They were interested to hear about you all. They were impressed that you all tasted Vegemite and laughed that some of you were gobsmacked at the unusual and strong flavour. Well done for trying it, you can't meet an Aussie and not taste some dinky-di food!

I wish you all well with your English studies. Keep up the hard yakka and maybe you will be able to use your language skills to have a chinwag in Australia one day! 

Much happiness to you all,
Marianne xx

  1. Hello Rachel :)
    I enjoyed a lot the class with you, with your daughter and with your mom. We spoke a lot and i learnt a little more about culture. But for me, we didn't have so much time, only one hour. I hope that you return to Spain in some years,and maybe we can eat typical spanish food with you.
    Bye, Lucía.

I learnt about your culture and I tried Vegemite and I liked it but it's a little spicy so after tasted it I had to drink water,but it was funny.
    Bye :)

  3. Hello Marianne and Rachel:
    I spend a very good time with you when you came here and I learnt a lot about culture and about VEGEMITE! Because the flavour was very strong, but I liked so much. If you come to Spain in future, you will visit a lot of famous monuments and different places.
    Bye. Vega Polo Sánchez.

  4. Hi Rachel and Marianne:
    I have spent a very good time with you. I'm glad that you liked Salamanca and I hope you will return one day. Always we have to speak english but I think that we can teach you some spanish too.
    I have learnt a little bit more about the culture in Australia and when I tasted the Vegemite I think it was strong but I liked it.
    BFN!

  5. Hi friends! How are you?
    Here we are doing all our final exams, but we miss a lot in our English classes! We enjoyed a lot knowing something else about your culture and your country. In fact, Vegemite wasn't bad at all, but we don't have any food like it in Spain, so it was really extrange and strong!
    I want you to know that you can return to Villamayor again, we will receive you when you want!
    We want to see you again soon :)
    Bye bye!

  6. Hi to all¡¡
    I liked a lot that you came to visit us.
    I had a really good time but we were only a short time.

  7. Hello again!
    I have to write a new comment because yesterday i only saw the one of Rachel.
    Like my classmates, I spent a very good time with you. I think that not all schools have the luck to have a native speaker to learn English or receive people from other countries,and our school have this option! You are a nice person,remember this :)
    See you again,Lucía.

  8. Hi Rachel and Marianne
    I am very happy with Kristie,
    with him we learn a lot of Australia and english
    too, of course.
    When we know about that we're gonna meet a little of the family
    of KristieI think that we were all very excited to know about
    you.
    But I think that we also had not many time to learn more
    about Australia but it was so nice

  9. Hi How are you?
    I had a fabulous time with you because I learned many things with you of your culture and your lifestyle. I was surprised that you don´t know to speak Spanish.
    what resulted more interesting to me were when you told us anecdotes about the product you brought called vegemite. the funniest thing was when you had to say tongue twisters in Spanish. I thought you were going to do worse. I hope you come back and see us some day

  11. Hello Rachel and Marianne!!!
    I am very happy because you like Spain.
    We have to visit Australia like you visit Spain.
    And you have to eat typical spanish food like the "jamón".
    We have spent only one hour! And one hour it isn't much time to know well a person.
    I hope you will come to Spain in summer to go to the beaches.
    If you write more things in the blog, we will answer you with any problems.
    Bye!!!

  12. Hello Marianne and Rachel!
    How are you? I hope you are fine.
    It is great to have Kristie here with us, we have learned a lot of Australian culture with her.
    It would be great if you came back here to Spain, because I want to learn more things about Australia, a very interesting country that I want to visit.
    Bye!

    I had a really good moment with you,It was a special day for me because I learned many things of the australian's culture, for exemple, the food that we try,"vegemite", In my opinion It was delicious and I will like to try again this food.
    Other nice moment was when you tried to do the tonguetwister,It was funny.

  15. Hi Rachel! Hi Marianne!

    How are you? As I said in the another entry, I´m very happy and grateful that you have come to our English lesson travelling from so far away!! We really enjoyed all together and we didn´t waste the time at all!!I think all of us there learnt something new that day!
    I´m also very kind that you have tried our local food and you´ve gone to the city centre of Salamanca, in fact, myself, I believe it is the most beautiful city in Spain, but… to each his own.
    So, as you brought food to class and we could taste it, next time you come again (I´m pretty sure it ´ll be soon) we´ll give you some of our best dishes, such as chanfaina, hornazo or farinato, the most eaten ones. Ummm!! :)
    Best wishes.

    Hello guys! Hi Marianne and Rachel!
    How are you?
    Thank you for coming to Spain and I hope that you will return soon.
    I had a really good time with you, with the quiz, and eating Vegemite.
    I learnt this day new culture about Australia and I know now what you eat in Australia.
    That´s all for the time being.
    Bye!

  18. MY CORRECTED COMMENT
    Hi friends! How are you?
    Here we are doing all our final exams, but we miss you a lot in our English classes! We enjoyed knowing something else about your culture and your country. In fact, Vegemite wasn't bad at all, but we don't have any food like it in Spain, so it was really strange and strong!
    I want you to know that you can return to Villamayor again, we will receive you when you want!
    We want to see you again soon :)
    Bye bye!

    Hello Rachel and Marianne.
    We had a great class with you.
    I think we enjoyed a lot but the class was too short.
    We learnt more things about Australia and we tried the VEGEMITE, it had a very strong taste but it was good.
    I am happy because you also tried typical spanish food.
    I hope you will return to Spain soon, and you will visit us.
    Bye, Alba.

  21. Elena Andrés says,

    Hi!!!!! The visit of Kristie's family was very nice. We learnt a little bit more about this country, that I think not everyone knows something about it. I hope you would like our city, and our food. We love our country a lot, I think because it's ours, and it has very tipycal things that we like a lot. When we tried Vegemite, I think the majority of us didn't like it, but it was very funny, because when someone tried it, we were looking at his face, and there were very wieird faces. I think it was because Vegetime has a very hard taste for us, because our food is not as hard as Vegetime. Wherever, I had a very good time. I hope to see you again, and spend more time with you, because we haven´t time enough.
    BFN
