Leslie and I just finished our first week of intensive Spanish.  Going back to our room at the Casa I remarked “This sure beats sitting in a rocking chair” but she replied “I wish I was”!

There are about a dozen of us beginner students from Russia, Nigeria, Haiti and Cameroon. We’ve got an excellent  teacher in Andres who does great whiteboard work mixed with PowerPoint.

We’re also considering working one on one with a tutor in the afternoons to work on speaking and pronunciation – we’ll see.  I’m really looking forward to start being able to speak Spanish – if only rudimentary to start!
