Velotour mit argentinischen Schluss

Martina Müller / 16. Dezember 2018
Auch für ein wenig Sport war nebem dem Spanisch lernen in San Carlos de Bariloche dank
Bike-Verleih gesorgt, wir liessen uns zu einer Velorundfahrt hinreissen. Nach der kurzen
Busfahrt waren wir beim Circuito Chico angelangt und nach einigen Information seitens
des Verleihers ging das Abenteuer los.

Great place to practice your Spanish in Las Montañas.

 By Ewan Moffat

Myself and my girlfriend are staying a fairly central flat in the northwest of the city. We’re renting from the apartment from a Bariloche native who we were put in touch with prior to arriving in the city. The apartment had already been booked for a three day period overlapping with the beginning of our stay and our landlord suggested that we leave town for a few days and stay at his parent’s farm in El Bolsón. Dubbed the ‘hippy capital’ of Rio Negro we jumped at the chance taking a stunning scenic car ride through the mountains passing lake after lake. After Spanish lessons at La Montaña it is a great place to practice your Spanish in Las Montañas.

A family Asado

By Ewan Moffat

Famed for its diet of meat, meat and more meat, my dabbling in vegetarianism has been put on hold since my arriving in Argentina. Hamburgers, hotdogs and of course steaks being the call of the day, near enough every day since my arrival a fortnight ago. This weekend I was invited to my first Asado for a celebration of a friend’s mother 71st birthday.

After a productive week in the classroom is great to get out and practice out in the real world - and with some tasty morsels too of course. Arriving at the house, met with the obligatory kiss on the cheek, I was shown out to the back garden where the food was cooking up. On the grill were a giant stack of Chicken and Chorizo though these were second fiddle to the entire goat slow roasting in front of an open fire. It was great to get to witness and enjoy such an essential part of Argentinian culture with my friend’s father, and self-proclaimed Gaucho, manning the grill.

Learning Spanish in Bariloche.

¡Hola! ¡Me llamo Ewan!
I came to Argentina a little over two weeks ago hoping to see the sights, drink in the famed Latin culture and get to know a place that I have heard so much about. From Malbec to Messi, Tango to Gauchos, Eva Peron to the Patagonian sun, when myself and my partner were deciding where we wanted to go next, Argentina was top of the list.
So far in the “Land of Silver” I have wandered the plazas of Buenos Aires, sipped wine in the vineyards of Mendoza and eaten more beef than my belly would care to admit. All of which have been joyous but busy cities (even busier schedules) have meant that everything thus far has felt like a whirlwind.
Additionally - and perhaps contributing to this - I speak not a word of Spanish. (That is aside from the “Una cerveza, por favor.” and “¿Hablas ingles?”, gleaned from a couple of short trips to Spain over the years). To truly get the most out of one’s travels, I feel it paramount to be able to communicate with those whose homeland you are staying.

(Lebens-)Museum Patagonien

Martina Müller / 6. Dezember 2018

Unweit von unserer Spanisch Schule befindet sich das Museo de la Patagonia. Zu Neunt haben wir uns nach dem Spanisch lernen Richtung Centro Civico aufgemacht und mit entsprechender Neugier den Eingang neben der Ortsbibliothek betreten. Wir verteilen uns auf zwei Etagen, um das Museum genauer unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Dabei sehen wir einiges über die Naturgeschichte und Kulturanthropologie von San Carlos de Bariloche und Umgebung.
