Welcome to the CAS MexEx blog! We thirteen Berkeley High students and four fantastic teachers are in Morelia, Michoacán for three weeks, studying Spanish and learning how to be true media activists.

Matt

Hey, its Matt coming to you from Mexico. It’s my first time out of the US and I´m really glad I decided to go on this trip. Morelia is an interesting city, and I’m learning my way around. I haven’t really learned how to take combis yet, but that’s because I can just walk to school and my teachers house because I live so close. My family is very nice, I’ve got two brothers, ones 18 and the other is 26. The younger one plays guitar and likes a lot of the same music I do, but I still can’t speak Spanish that well so I cant have a lot of conversations. My Spanish has definitely improved since I got here, at first I couldn’t understand very much, and know I still don’t understand a lot but I’ve gotten better. I have to work on my video now, so there will be more to come later.
