Please note the following is an amalgam of IM, spoken conversation and my imagination.
Nicole: For the Day 2 class I had three Spaniards and three Germans.
Al: That sounds like the start of a joke.
Nicole: It was all really good. Laughed a lot. They were all really funny.
Al: Even the Germans??
Nicole: Especially the Germans.
Al: DON’T MENTION THE WAR
Nicole: I didn’t notice this, but the last woman who did her presentation did. She speaks English with a North American accent because of one her parents. All the people from Spain used PowerPoint and did fun topics like ‘How to make Sangria’. All the Germans used the flip paper and did really dry work topics.
Al: Ah.
Nicole: But the really funny part was when I invited them to give me feedback about the two days, one of the German women said—
AL: ZHIS IS NOT VERY EFFICIENT!
Nicole: Well, actually. Yes.
AL: You’re kidding.
Nicole: No, I had ended the first day at 2 and she thought it would have been a better use of her time if I gone on until 5.
Al: It’s just too easy.
Nicole: The Spaniards weren’t fussed.
