It’s mid-afternoon on Saturday and I’m taking a break from studying Spanish…

Yesterday afternoon Leslie and I cut up 2 sets of flash cards I’ve been slowly printing up this week.  The Casa’s heavy duty cutting board (in español – “guillotine” – very appropriate!) made short work of our stack of card stock and now we have several hundred flash cards each.

Monday started off with about 20 new verbos, sustantivos (nouns) and preposiciónes we needed to memorize so we could ask and tell direcciones.

Tuesday was dedicated to preposiciónes and the rest of the week had us newbies trying to make sentences on the white board and speak – lots of aaaahs, fits and starts and corrections!

I asked Andres (our Profesor) about how long it takes to maybe be ready to join an intermediate class and he thought about 3 months getting the basics in the beginners class.  So we’ve told the Casa we’d like to stay at least until the end of October.  For now, that’s all the further we’re planning for down the road…
