Honduras Sprout #2 had her first weekly meeting with a Spanish tutor. She also has Spanish class in school one time per week and to really drive things home, we have arranged for Tia (aunt), Papa's sister to meet once a week to just read and have some casual Spanish conversation. With all of this, I think she will be better prepared for the move in June and then being able to start school at the end of August.HS #2 is not the only one having to work on her Spanish. Mama has to do some work too. I start my Spanish classes next month. I'm terrified I will never learn to speak.
You'll amaze yourself. You've got the desire, and soon you'll be surrounded by it. Just think: the same way that you start picking up a southern accent when you're hanging around someone from Texas-you'll fall right into the rhythm of Spanish-como si nada!
ReplyDeleteI agree, you will learn quickly while living there, and your kids will learn even faster than you!!! You'll be amazed.

PS. This is Connie, posting under my NoMpls blog ID... as opposed to my Honduras blog ID. (Long story, I hate blogger.)
Oh my gosh Connie! Nice to hear from you :O) That is true. Saying good-bye on the phone he says that with a whole slew of other cut-off words.
