Green line, outbound:
Two small girls dressed in identical tennis outfits are riding with their hispanophone grandmother. For a while they talk and laugh in Spanish. Then the older of the two girls proceeds with an English lesson.
"Hello."
"Hello."
"How are you?"
"How are you?"
"No! Tienes que decir, 'I'm fine, thank you.' Otra vez."
This process repeats several times until the greeting is mastered. When I leave the train, they are again joking with each other in Spanish.
