Yesterday we had the most amazing language festival organized by the Language Center of our university. We planned this activity for a month and had a wonderful time doing it. We started at 9:00 am with the opening ceremony, which was attended by faculty members and students. The opening remarks were shared by Liliana Pelayo and the university president. The festival consisted in a series of events that took place throughout the day. I was assigned to speak on American Breakfast - a hard topic to make it sound interesting, but I think it went great. Other teachers talked about the importance of linguistics, the indigenous languages of Mexico and the Chontal language in Tabasco. Our French teacher showed a video of Paris and then students played Bingo. The karaoke was a huge success and very well attended. Our last event was the talent show, which was another great success as the auditorium was completely packed with students, faculty members, and family. I was very amazed at how serious and responsible students were towards their talents. Their level of commitment was incredibly commended by everybody. I was also thrilled with the audience participation. Ashlie sang the Waka Waka and Emma sang Three Little Birds by Bob Marley. We had so much fun!!!
