Kay in Argentina: We´ll Meat Again
http://helenkayos.blogspot.com/2009/04/well-meat-again.html
A little language goes a long way. Saturday, April 18, 2009. We´ll Meat Again. No, it´s not a spelling mistake. This post is dedicated to the manly art of asado. Many (most/all? Go on the asado, and it is best not to look too closely or wonder too much about the origin of each shape - or colour of the meat. This is the some of the extended family and friends gathered for Daniel´s birthday. This is the covered area just outside the house and the asado preparation and sink can be seen behind. Below is the ...

http://helenkayos.blogspot.com/2009/10/holaque-tal.html
A little language goes a long way. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Welcome to anyone who has stumbled across my "Kay-in-Argentina" blog. It is the unfolding account of my month in Argentina on a Ministry of Education AFS Spanish Language Immersion Award. As an enthusiastic beginner, with only the most basic of the mininum level of survival Spanish language, many of my most interesting (and harrowing) experiences were based on simple communication strategies and interactions. Then the second post here,.

Kay in Argentina: Back to Frond
http://helenkayos.blogspot.com/2009/03/back-to-frond.html
A little language goes a long way. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. The first thing I saw when I went into the family garage was a very close relation of the NZ fern. I have just realised what an "icon" of NZ the fern frond is. There is a palm tree behind it but to the left and right is the fern plant. March 26, 2009 at 8:32 AM. A frond in need is a frond indeed, lol. March 26, 2009 at 7:19 PM. Ha ha ha ha Lol. Very clever. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Visitors since October 10 2009. Huia 1 Our Story.

Kay in Argentina: Frond Farewells
http://helenkayos.blogspot.com/2009/04/frond-farewells.html
A little language goes a long way. Tuesday, April 21, 2009. When I first arrived at my home-in-Parana-for-a-month, the first thing I noticed was a large fern and palm growing together in a small garden in a small courtyard between the garage and house. Http:/ helenkayos.blogspot.com/2009/03/back-to-frond.html". My immediate reaction was, "Hey! Koru can also refer to bone carvings. Those generally take the shape of the uncurling fern plant. When bone is worn on the skin, it changes colour as oil i...When ...

Kay in Argentina: April 2009
http://helenkayos.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
A little language goes a long way. Wednesday, April 22, 2009. I couldn't resist the choice of title as today is ANZAC Day, and few things tug at your patriotic heartstrings as much as an ANZAC commemoration. And, having been in Argentina for the memorial day for the Malvinas (Falklands) and another memorial day for the Desaparecidos (the 30,000 people who 'disappeared' in the "Dirty War" between 1976 and 1983) I have been well and truly reminded of how fortunate my own circumstances have been so far!

A little language goes a long way. Wednesday, March 18, 2009. 161;Hasta la Vista, Baby! I am almost within 24 hours of leaving NZ for Argentina and am having a crash course in setting up a blog with a lovely student from my class who has put my computer skills to shame. Sooo much to do, so little time left. Let's hope I can find my way back here again so that this is not the only entry on my adventure. See you later."

A little language goes a long way. Saturday, April 18, 2009. 168;¿Who are you, who-oo, oo-oo? 168; (Cue C.S.I. theme music). Check out the new heading . I have just learned how to add a photo.
