So last night I went to Julio's (My Peruvian friend whose family lives in Santiago), and had dinner with him and his dad. His dad works in currency trading, and Julio just finished an internship with UBS (a very large bank) and so our conversation was a lot about economics and finance. Since I'm taking accounting here, I've learned enough of the words in that field to be able to talk about most things. At one point, since Julio learned accounting in English and his dad doesn't do much accounting, neither one knew how to say 'earnings per share' in Spanish. I did, though, and preceded the answer with "Now I can teach you both a little bit of Spanish."
It was also quite different than eating pasta or something quick at home with the roommates versus a full meal and a very expensive bottle of wine.
I've got class at 1:30, so I'll probably go to lunch with Julio (and maybe his dad) and then head to class.
