Playing translator :D

On Saturday my Counselors Raquel and Raul asked me for help: I should join them picking im 2 older Couples from New Zealand who don´t speak Spanisch and translate between them and my Counselors who don´t speak English. I was glad being able to help and also saw it as a chance to improve my Spanisch again a bit, so I joined them. Although I almost needed an additional translater to translate the New Zealand "English" into normal English.
for example:
-I like the chilean one.
-The chilean what ?
-The chilean vone.
-What´s a vone ??
-That (points on a bottle of vine)
-Ahhh, the chilean VINE !! ^^
or:
-Is that a cat dog there ?
-A cat dog ?? What´s a cat dog ??
-A guat dog... to protect your house.
-Ahhhh, a guard dog !!! :D
But nevertheless I was able to translate most of what they said and it was quite a fun day. After picking them up from their hotel we went to another counselor´s house and ate some typical chilean food like empanadas and choripan. Was also quite fun cause I met another Inbound from Brazil and a girl from France and of course the cute counselor´s daughter ;-)

Another foto later on before leaving...
