If I were an animal... If I were an animal, I would be an orca. I like different animals like sloths, black panthers and wolfs, but definitly I would prefer to be an orca. The first reason is that I would live in the sea and I would be able to swim everyday. In addition, I like their social organization: the way they hunt and how they protect their babies. I would eat lots of sea lions. Besides they are very nice animals. If a were an orca, I would be swimming around the sea exploring everthing. Orcas are great swimmers, and because of that they are one of the best predators in the sea. I think it would be a really nice life living in the sea, in the cold waters of the Antarctica. (I appreciate if someone can corret this text. Thanks)

My love for languages I began studying languages when I was in kindergarden. I used to sing songs, learn vocabulary and I did different games and activities. Then I continued learning in elementary school and high school. When I was a kid, I also got in contact with german language and I wanted to learn it, but my family told me to learn well English and then I would be able to learn other languages. I decided to study Spanish Philology because I like to read and languages. During my time in the university, I discoverd more and more about the human language. It made me more aware of the relationship between the languages, the culture and society. I began studying german while I was in the university. Learning more and more about the german grammar was very interesting to me, so that gave me more motivation to learn this language. I'm still learning german and I'm enjoying this experience. I plan to learn other languages like portuguese, italian and sign language. Also, I want to improve my english. I a have the chance I would like to learn a language from a costa rican indigenous group. Languages not only will help to communicate in other countries, also will open your mind to other cultures.

Costa Rica My country is in Central America, and it's known worldwide because of the nature. In Costa Rica, you can find a lot of beautiful scenarios and adventure. The country is a very touristic destination. One of the most popular thing in Costa Rica is the beaches. We have a lot of them in the Pacific coast and in the Caribbean coast. Both coasts have different weather and culture. For example, the Caribbean coast is more humid and it's a nice place to experience the Afro-Caribbean culture. There are more beaches in the Pacific coast, because of that is more touristic. There are really big and fancy hotels, but also you can find nice and regular hotels or hostels. We have also lots of volcanoes. The most populares are Arenal volcano, Poas volcano and Irazu volcano. You can visit these volcanoes in one day trip, but I recommend going to Arenal volcano more than one day. There you can go to the hot springs, hicking or zippling, that way is better to go at least for a weekend. Also, there are a lot of jungles that you can visit and hicking. The capital city, San José, it's not a very touristic place, but it's a nice city. You can find some nice places and experience the costa rican culture. There are a lot of museums, theaters, nice parks to rest, etc. Costa Rica is a small country in Central America, and is also quiet and nice. We are blessed with a lot of Nature and we produce most of our energy with hydro-electric power. I like to live in Costa Rica and have the opportunity to enjoy all the nature that we have.
