Well, we've had the first day and if one nagging question was 'how do you teach English to people, who don't speak English, in English?' it's not any more.

This was demonstrated as our first lesson was a tutor demonstration lesson conducted entirely in Shona (a Zimbabwean language). The expressions on all our faces was priceless as the tutor said 'Mangwanani' and repeated it until we figured out we were meant to repeat it back. Then we went into a hello how are you (at least I think it was) and counting. The tutor was excellent and it was a real eye-opener. We wandered out to el Cuatrino for lunch: a real Porteño hangout, fast pizzas, we ended up saying 'want that one' when the next table over had their pizza delivered: it was half neapolitan (ham) and half Calabrese (spicy sausage)... very nice.

Apparently we're a very English intake. There are only six of us, one American, one Australian and the remaining four brits (okay I'm Irish, I know, I have the piece of paper).  ¶ 10:55 PM
