Weeks of November 2nd & 9th
We are working on the verb "ir" (to go) and planning what we will do in Portillo. One common way to express future actions is to use the present of the verb ir + a + the infinitive. In Spanish we would say "Yo voy a esquiar." In English the equivalent is to say "I am going to ski."

Week of October 26th
This week most of the intermediate classes are heading off to a completely different part of Chile- a ski resort high in the Andes Mountains called Portillo. We start to talk about different activities that you can do throughout the day, such as skiing, snowboarding, dining and swimming in thermal waters.
Sabena and Varig will finish talking about Easter Island on Friday and illustrate some sentences about the moai.
