perfect my spanish

I am forgetting a lot of my advanced, literary Spanish that I learned when I took my lit courses. I don’t think as much in Spanish anymore. I really need to start doing that again.

Leeré unos libros para profundizar mis conocimientos y ampliar mi vocabulario, pero también voy a escribir más siguiente en mi blog.

I just need to hit the books again. My spouse speaks spanish so I have a live in tutor. I got sidetracked but it’s time to hone my skills and use them to my advantage.

really encouraged me here. I was going to wait until I finished all my dental school stuff and then tackle my languages…but I am thinking…I can put in at least 10 minutes of review each day, riiigght ? So I will do that, starting today !

I’m enrolled in 202, again, after a two year break. Fingers crossed.

the only thing i can say is Los Tango El goto pantalones… i thing thats wrong… AARRGGHH. I want to speak spanish!!

i already do. but it needs some work i get nervous sometimes, i think it quickly, but it comes out all slow and stupid. sure i translate at work and i have conversations in Spanish and make jokes. i even know a lot of different dialects but i am not 100% comfortable. sometimes i dream in Spanish and it is perfect.i don’t really wright in Spanish either. but then i don’t really get the opportunity. i could probably do it but i wouldn’t know where to put the accent marks. What if my mother forgets her English in her old age like my grandfather did. Shit that would really suck. i want to be able to speak Spanish like i grew up in a Spanish speaking country.

I’m the spawn of a cuban immigrant who was born in New England. I learned bits and pieces throughout my life and most recently through a student exchange program in Spain but I still am not fluent. DAMNIT!

That’s the only picture I have from the trip, naturally I forgot my camera and it arrived the day before I came home.

I’ve lived in Spain, and in Mexico, and now I find myself here in Ecuador. My Spanish is good, but I wish it were better than just good. I haven’t, however, put too much effort into learning, besides just being here and getting by as I go. I think I’m going to take some classes while I’m here so I can take my already pretty good spanish to the next level. Quiero hablar como una Quitena!

Easy piece really, when you are born in Madrid! ;P

I will be teaching next fall in a school where 80% of the students have Spanish as their 1st language. I’ve been studying Span for the past 4 years in college, but I don’t feel confident speaking to the parents of my students. This spring and summer it’s practice, practice, practice (and telenovelas)!
