I’ve recently started private Spanish lessons.
Well, you can’t call them ‘lessons’ per-say. My mom used to teach an English as a Second Language class, and one of her students from Peru, Maritza, wanted to get to together with my mom and I and practice Spanish and English. In other words, i can only talk in Spanish/Espanglish and she talks in English. I’m enjoying them a whole lot more than i thought i would. I have absolutely no one to talk to in Spanish, even in my Spanish class, and that has been incredibly discouraging and frustrating. It leaves me on a level below where all my other friends who speak Spanish well, which would be all of them. So when i’m in environments where i might have the opportunity to practice, i let them dominate the conversation, which isn’t very hard. But finally, i’ll have a chance to go over all the random Spanish i’ve missed along the way. Which is a whole lot. I realized i have a fairly good grasp on the subjunctive and know just about every vocabulary word related to cosmetology, but i didn’t know all the months. Sad, i know.
