Gosh, has my Spanish class come almost to an end without me mentioning it? Sometimes the days just blur together here. I keep telling Mari, every week has a surprise in it, and so far I have not been disappointed.
I tested into the Intermediate level of the Spanish class. The institute does it in month long increments because as foreigners, we're here one month, gone the next. My class has 9 people in it. I'm the only native English speaker. About 5 are asian, and there is a husband wife couple from somewhere in the middle East and another girl named Elena from the Ukraine.
Spanish class has been helpful in that it gets me up and moving in the morning. It's from 8:45-10:15 am and afterwards I usually head down to the library to read children's books. I actually found this children's book that was a collection of Halloween stories. I'm reading it just for fun and I'm really liking it. I'm learning all kinds of important Spanish words like witch, cauldron, mummies, vampire, werewolf, monster, abominable snowman, and so forth.
Overall it's been a fun group of students. Elena from the Ukraine actually joined Erin and I for our weekly lunch date this past Thursday. She is really sweet and we had fun with her.
