Hi! I am a college student in the US studying environmental science. I studied abroad last spring in Panama and learned conversational Spanish, although my grammar is still terrible! I would love to chat to avoid forgetting what I learned. Hola! Estoy una estudiante en universidad en los EEUU.

    Bad Tourists

    Today I had to go to downtown Bogota to run some errands. This area is very popular with tourists because of its historic buildings because as it is the most ancient neighborhood of Bogota. It was really sad to see so many foreign tourists being who were high on the streets. They could not even be able to stand up by themselves. I wonder why they come to Colombia just to do drugs. I mean, isn't it cheaper to do drugs in their countries? Colombian tourits tourism (?) have has gained a bad reputation because of the problems that our country faces, but no one talks about the bad things that many foreigners do in Colombia, such as encouraging child prostitution and human trafficking.
    It is easy to stereotype Colombians based on the problems that this country has endured for a long time, but many people don't know for example that some foreigners have come to Colombia in order to join the FARC ( look up the story of Tanja Nijmeijer ) or to sell weapons to the terrorist groups. I have to say that I find it very sad to know the fact that many of the tourists who come to Colombia consider our country as "a nice place to do drugs" while many Colombians who immigrate to other countries to work hard have to witness face xenophobic xenophobia towards them because of their passports.

     

    Your English is great, keep it up!! The tourism situation is very bad... I have not been to Colombia but it was the same in a few parts of Panama which had lots of tourists.

    Theather

    For me one of the best manners ways to get to know a culture beside know the talking with locals is to see plays. I will be traveling around USA and Canada and I would like to go to the theater. But I'm afraid about don't that I won't understand, since my English skills are rough. I can understand and communicate with most of the English spoken speaking people that I know, but it is different when 3 or more people are talking fast. When this happens, this is the moment when I get lost in the conversation.

     

    I think you will be fine-you may miss a thing or two in the play but you will still have a great time and learn lots! Your English is great, I would have understood everything just as you wrote it (these are just small corrections).

In this moment Today, in many jobs are have an requirement speak english speaking requirement. For example, If I have to contact new suppliers in China, I need to talk to them in English,. Likewise, I have to use English if I need to send e-mails or speak them on the telephone.
