To start off the first episode, Titan TV caught up with Ms. Noguere, 00:00:00

PHS students, and fellow foreigners as we take a look at the Foreign Exchange Program 00:00:04

that was held in late September. 00:00:07

This whole idea about the exchange program kind of came at us very quickly. 00:00:10

I got a phone call from Spain in my classroom, 00:00:16

and they talked to me about this great program that they had. 00:00:19

I'm not exactly sure how they found me, but I'm really glad they did. 00:00:23

Ms. Nuguer asked us if anyone would be interested in doing a cultural exchange program and so 00:00:26

they needed a certain number of people who would be willing to take someone and I was 00:00:34

like oh well I'll just ask my mom and she ended up saying yes. 00:00:37

So that's how we ended up with Sonia and it was just really fun. 00:00:43

We Skype chatted over the summer so it was like texting just whenever we could. 00:00:47

When I see these kids coming together who've never met, the only thing they have in common 00:00:53

is that they're both really enthusiastic about this whole idea of getting to know each other's 00:00:59

culture. 00:01:04

When they meet, they're excited, they put their best selves forward, and they form a 00:01:05

relationship. 00:01:11

I was nervous because I'd done another exchange, and I was close to the persons there, but 00:01:12

I didn't have like a relationship and now I have known the culture and I have a friendship 00:01:22

so that's fine. 00:01:30

I was a little bit nervous about the English thing, not understanding a single thing and 00:01:32

in a mess, this high school, going to classes and changing from classroom to classroom. 00:01:38

I was really nervous to meet Adriana first but then we became really good friends. 00:01:44

I didn't know what to expect. I was very nervous. I was afraid Jorge wouldn't like me. I was afraid he wouldn't like Pembroke. I was afraid I would have to speak Spanish, but it turned out great. He's awesome. He speaks better English than I do. 00:01:48

It's kind of nerve-wracking to have someone come live in my house with my crazy family, but it was fun. 00:02:05

Well, I've lived quite a few years in Spain, so I've had the opportunity to experience 00:02:11

the culture, so have my children, and I get frustrated when I try and convey those feelings 00:02:16

that learning to students, it's just hard to do. 00:02:23

I was expecting to see the culture and know the culture from America because I really 00:02:29

like the culture that I saw in movies and everything. 00:02:35

I think my favorite part was going to Boston because I didn't come to the United States before and it's a really different country from Spain. 00:02:39

And my favorite part was going to the beach too because I like so much the beach. 00:02:57

My favorite part was when a friend of an American teacher invited us to go on a plane flight 00:03:04

in the Hanson Airport, I think it was Hanson Airport. 00:03:11

And it was a lot of fun because, you know, I like risky things that airplanes do. 00:03:15

My favorite part has been the community of teachers that we have 00:03:21

with the two teachers that came over from Madrid. 00:03:26

They're English teachers in Madrid. We're Spanish teachers at PHS. 00:03:29

And just communicating with them and seeing how they work and comparing it to how we work, 00:03:33

getting ideas from them, talking about things because they're very open, they're very intelligent. 00:03:40

The main differences were the schedule, the daily routine. 00:03:45

You know, we get up later because school starts later. 00:03:50

I kind of need to readjust my timeline and my schedule. 00:03:54

They eat at strange hours for us. 00:04:00

Like we have the dinner at 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock in the evening 00:04:05

and they have the dinner at 6 o'clock. 00:04:13

So there are three hours of difference and it's really strange. 00:04:16

They do it a lot. We don't eat that much in Spain. It's not very healthy food, but yeah, I do like it. 00:04:22

I saw an American football amateur play and it was really boring because they don't pass the half of the field. 00:04:29

The idea that when they meet here and then they maintain and develop their relationship 00:04:41

over what, a five month period before we go over there in February, that they're opening 00:04:49

themselves up to all of this diversity that they weren't open to perhaps before and all 00:04:55

of these new experiences, all these different points of view, that they just didn't have 00:05:02

have a window necessarily in Pembroke to look through and see this diversity, this different 00:05:05

way of thinking and now they do, they have a friend and they're maintaining a relationship 00:05:13

and opening themselves up to a lot of new experiences and new ideas. 00:05:19

And they're developing their communication skills in real time. 00:05:24

They have to communicate here in English but then when the kids go over to Spain they have 00:05:28

to communicate in Spanish. 00:05:32

So it's just practical. 00:05:34

I just, I'm excited just to see Spain. 00:05:35

I think it'll, from the pictures I've seen, it looks very different than America. 00:05:38

Everything's very much older, and it just will be a neat experience. 00:05:42

I'm excited just to see, because she got to see, like, where we go to school and what we do for fun. 00:05:46

So I'm excited to go to Spain and experience all the same things, but in her hometown. 00:05:51

I'm really looking forward to just seeing the city of Madrid 00:05:55

and also experiencing all the food and just the culture. 00:05:58

Now we have all these friends from Spain that we can Snapchat and Instagram and text on WhatsApp. 00:06:02

It's just really exciting. 00:06:09
