INTERNSHIP FIRST IMPRESSION POST #2

Hello bloguer's

I had today my first day of internship at The Boys And Girls Club of Lasalle. I have to say that it was amazing. I really enjoyed playing and help the kids. At first we did an activity in the gymnas. Some of the kids where playing basketball, frisbee and volleyball. It didn't get to long for the kids to be confortable with me.  After the gym, we went eating something and after that they do homeworks. I did love to help them.

There is a lot of different culture and all the kids speaks at least 1 or 2 language. French and english. Some speaks only in english and some others only in french.

You know very quickly who is speaking wich language because if they don't understand what you are saying they will just look at you with a funny face, so you know they speaks the other language.

I had some misunderstandings because some of the kids didn't prounonce very well each words and some were speaking to fast for me because they were speaking in their native language, so I was asking them to repat slowly.

One girls came to me and ask me for a ball:
Girls: hey, can I have peachball?
Me: I was like....WHAT?? I was talking to my self in my head: what is a peachball? So I ask her what she wanted again because Iwasn't understanding what she was telling me and she showed me the ball.
Me : haaaaa! A beachball

I guess she was speaking to fast for me or she didn't pronounce her words correctly because she was closing her lips as she wanted to say P and not B.

At the end of everything I had a lot of fun with the kids.
