Argentinian Pen Pals

Here on campus we have multiple language houses. Because of a partnership we have with a school in Argentina, the Spanish house director has always been Argentinian.

Two years ago, the Spanish house director was Karina, and she was a really cool. Now she and the current Spanish house director, Angie, have a pen pall system going on between McDaniel students and students in Cordoba.

Angie asked me if I was interested in having an Argentinian pen pal, and of course, I said yes! My pen pal’s name is Mariano. He seems like an awesome person! I would love to meet him in real life. Who knows? Maybe I will.

So far we have talked about family, pets, school, and the future. I am excited to learn more about Argentinian culture through talking with him. It has also been awesome to practice writing in Spanish.

I really like the fact that McDaniel has given me the opportunity to connect with so many different types of people. I cannot wait for my next letter!
