Spanish Classes

I have been in Honduras over a year and a half. I know a lot more spanish than I did when I came. But to me, it is not coming to me as fast I thought it would or thought it should. I know lots of words, mostly nouns. I can't put together good sentences. And forget about grammatically correct. I understand far more than I speak, but even then, too many times, I only get part of the conversation. Or sometimes none of it. It is a long ride to Teleton with Sandra. Once we get beyond the niceties, it is pretty much a silent ride.

I decided I was going to change that. The lady that owns the bakery in Santa Ana has helped some other people with spanish. I stopped there Saturday and arranged to start taking spanish classes. I started today.

Not only do I need to do this, it is going to be fun. There were times I wondered what I was doing. Like when I had to get up and write the alphabet on the white board. It has been a really long time since I have had to write my answers on the board.

I am going to work hard at this. I am going to conquer this and it is not going to conquer me.

When we stopped at 5:00, my brain was numb. The walk home was very refreshing and I did not think all the way home. In spanish or english.
