Madi - Jimena

My friend Jimena is very nice. You pronounce her name like this “Hee-men-a”.

We are together 24/7 in school. She taught me a handshake named o-mi-nu-play. We can do it as fast as someone playing the drums quickly. We play card games together in the commodore, which is where the kids eat after school.

Jimena plays the drums and she dances flamenco. She can play very intricate beats. Jimena is Spanish, and she helps me with my Spanish. She doesn’t make me feel like I am annoying. My Spanish is effective but not well spoken. My Spanish is improving, because I am with her and speaking Spanish. Jimena tries to speak English with me.

She make’s me feel at home.
