Interviews with Native Speakers

We did this activity last Friday. Memo, Linda and I are going to talk about Music in Seattle, we thought this is a great topic because people in here love music.

First we were waiting to talk to someone but my other classmates didn’t  want to stop talking with the natives haha. We started with the other group teacher (I don’t remember her name, but we call her: “La del gorrito”) who is ver nice and spreaded us her joy. We asked her what she thought about music and she said she knows a few festivals, she tolds us that nowadays young people prefer listen to rap and rock.

Then we talked to Alex he was the most shy of all, the interview was very short and he practically told us the same. After that we talk to our tecaher Frieda. She said she didn’t know much of music, but she provided great info, then we interviewed Nancy who is a mexican girl she spoke about her, and she said her parents are from Guanajuato and she studied Social Work and now she’s doing a Master in Public Administration in UW.

Finally we met David and he was the best!! Haha. He told us that he likes Banda music a very famous genre in México but as he really likes guns he said he loves Gangster Banda o as we call them in Mexico. “corridos” because the lyrics of this songs usually talks about guns and dead.

We have much info to do our Project and now is time to plan an activity out of classroom like go to a concert or bar where musicians play. I like this topic, I think we’ll have a lot of fun!!
