An exhibition.
Hello friends!
Now it's the moment to talk about an exhibition that I have been liking for a long time, precisely this kind of event consisted about "languages" and it's called the "the party of languages". This unusual exhibition is organized by the different language institutes in Santiago and the Municipality council of Providencia. The exhibition is done once per year, but I only attended coincidently once in October 2012 and it was made in the Balmaceda Park (if I attend it this year, I wish it could carry out at the same place). Apropos the languages taught at the exhibition were English, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Hebrew and Russian. I saw there were many stands which each one represent one country with a institute language in Santiago, while on the grass there were teachers of those institutes teaching to the people who had interest to learn a little about a foreign language. Besides there were stands which show the gastronomical variety made by all countries composed by the languages taught and a scenario where artists (dancers or many kinds of musicians) made a performance one or two hours by each country. I went alone to the exhibition thought very late due I didn't know at what time does it start. However, fortunately I could take two "mini" courses before the event finished. The first mini course I went was the French lesson, during the little course I could learn at the first time some phrases concerning the daily life such as"ça va?" (how are you?, what's up?), comment tu t'appelles?" (What's your name?) and the numbers. The second lesson was Japanese, I could learn some little expressions for example "arigato" (thank you) or "ohayou gozaimas" (Good morning) and I could get a sheet to see how to write its different three alphabets.
Though I couldn't go to more mini lessons I enjoyed the little time I was during the exhibition because it was the perfect instance to know the different languages and cultures without any cost. In addition at the scenario sang a "The Beatles" tribute band (one of my favourite bands) with the song "A hard days night", which I liked very much.
