English@theEmbassy

Visit to the Embassy of the United Satates of America

On Wednesday 9 April, the U.S. Embassy in Argentina conducted the first event of the series "English@theEmbassy" and we had the privilege to be invited. Students in 2nd and 3rd year participated in the event which lasted three hours interacting with native speakers. 

We enjoyed an interactive presentation on the relevant aspects of the culture of the United States through its celebrations and festivities in charge of Cultural Affairs assistant Mark Naylor. In addition, we received a guided tour of Bosch Palace, current residence of the Ambassador of the United States, by U.S. diplomats. The event also included a series of presentations that highlighted the importance of learning the English language, by the Acting Deputy Chief, Tim Stater, as well as by Daniel Politi, editor of the Buenos Aires Herald.
