“FECUNDO” is not a name you might hear everyday. But Fecundo Tello from Argentina, actually does (for obvious reasons).
It isn’t the most common Spanish/Latino name like Juan or Pedro; but, it is a name that most native English speakers will recognize. It means, “fruitful”; “bountiful”; or actually, “fecund”).
Fecundo is a young (aged 22) Argentinian whose parents moved to Spain to afford him greater educational opportunities.
Unlike a lot of foreign language students, Fecundo has really made the most out of his most out of his months in Canada.
When he arrived, his communications skills (using English) were almost non-existant. He did not retreat into the cultural similarity of other Spanish speaking students. Instead, he did his best to associate with English speaking backpackers.
As a result, his English has improved dramatically in the space of a very short time. his comprehension ability is now nothing short of remarkable. He is now concentrating on his grammer.
For all language students at the hostel (present and future) he is an excellent role model.
I’m a friend of him from Spain, it really made me happy to hear that his improving his english that much but i have to say one important thing… his name is Facundo, not Fecundo.. so that explanation about the meanings of his name in English are wrong.
Hope i can be in Canada soon too!
