Today after classes at El Sol we went to UNIFE which stands for Universidad Feminina Del Sagrado Corazón for the first time. At this university we will be helping the students who are there practicing to be translators, translate from Spanish to English. They welcomed us with some speeches, and then we broke out into groups, two from Northeastern, and three from UNIFE and spoke in English with them for 10 minutes, then in Spanish for 10 minutes. Their English was much better than our Spanish. The girls I was speaking to were all in their fifth year at the university and about to graduate. We spoke about the differences between the cultures.
After that we went outside for a dance performance. The students performed traditional Peruvian dances, and at the end welcomed us up on the stage to join them. The performance was very nice, and when they tried to teach the dances to us, they spoke in English which was good, considering that I don't think I know enough Spanish vocabulary to learn dance steps.
That was all we had for today, but tomorrow when we go back to the University, we will be lectured on Peruvian literature by one of their professors.
