Let´s read and ask questions!

Brinley Bruton came to our school and we had a great time.  Write down all the questions you wanted to ask her.

Language Assistant Profile: Brinley Bruton
Buenas a todos!
My name is Brinley Bruton and I am one of the English Teaching Assistants this year. I cannot explain my excitement to meet you and help you with your English skills, but most of all, to get to know you and to learn from you! I would describe myself as open, curious, caring, and posi-tive, so I hope you can grow to feel comfortable getting to know me and reaching out to me - even if it’s just to get coffee and practice speaking in English.
I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a state just below New York, and I grew up there living with my mother. Pittsburgh is known for its history as an old working city and for its sports teams. I also grew up visiting my father in Houston, Texas, a state way down south, so I have always considered myself to have more than one home. When I began college at the University of Michigan, there was no doubt that I had gained a third new place to consider my home!
At Michigan I studied Spanish, International Studies, and Community Action & Social Change. Most of my studies focused on Latin America, and I was involved in many organizations as a volunteer where I worked with members of the Latino community. Throughout college I grew very passionate about social justice and Hispanic cultures, and I was very dedicated to finding opportunities to merge these passions! I have always been particularly interested in education, and I have loved tutoring and teaching children and adults in English and in Spanish through-out my time in college.
I have been to Argentina twice before, once in 2013 for a short period and again in 2014 to com-plete an academic semester. I have been to a variety of other countries throughout Latin Ameri-ca as well, including the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Chile, and Vene-zuela. I am so excited to be back in Buenos Aires for a third time and am ready to embrace new experiences with you, the students!
Some of my favorite things are movies, music, singing, dancing, traveling, exploring the city, trying new restaurants and bars, cooking, spending time outdoors, doing exercise and working out, reading, and spending time with friends new and old. I hope I can be not only a useful re-course to you but also a friend. Once again, I am very much looking forward to meeting you!
Saludos,
Brinley

    1. Hi Agustina! Thank you for your questions :)

      1. I am 23 years old.
      2. I think Argentina is a beautiful country with very rich cultures.
      3. Yes, I liked your school very much.
      4. We have a lot of schools in the US, so they are all very different. Some are very, very large with lots of students. Others are small with a lot of students, or small with few students. My school was large and it had a medium amount of students. We also had a football/soccer stadium and tennis courts on the school campus.
      5. I consider myself to be a very caring, loving, curious and outgoing person.
      6. I like speaking Spanish, listening to music, cooking and eating, enjoying the outdoors, watching movies, and traveling.
      7. I love Argentina!
      8. I love Pittsburgh, but I want to live in other cities.
      9. In Argentina I usually have scrambled eggs for breakfast.
      10. For lunch I usually eat rice with chicken or meat and vegetables.
      11. For dinner I usually eat rice with chicken or meat and vegetables or milanesa, or noodles.
      12. My favorite foods in Argentina are milanesa and asado.
      13. My favorite sport to play is volleyball. My favorite sports to watch are football and soccer.
      14. People in Pittsburgh play all sports! Our professional sports teams are football, hockey, and baseball.
      15. No, I have never dyed my hair.
      16. My hobbies right now in Argentina are cooking and watching Netflix. I also like to write on my blog, and I love to sing! But in Argentina I haven't been singing.
      17. I think Spanish is easier than English because the pronunciation of Spanish is just like the spelling.
      18. I started traveling by myself in 2013.
      19. I have never been able to buy dulce de leche in the US, but maybe in some cities where Argentines live you can buy it!
      20. Same with empanadas, you can only get them in some places.
