Speaking activity

We based our speaking activity on Jargon and Argot, language and culture, and language and identity, as we represent the contact between European culture, illustrated throughout two English tourists, and rural one represented by an huaso. They met and exchange different perspectives about how should life stile be like, discriminating the tourists in a very despective way how does the huaso live. The huaso uses certain words which are characteristic on its argot, while tourists pronounce in a too sophisticated and exaggerated way, which show us the contrast between both cultures. This argot provides identity to our language and culture.
