What I actually
learned during my lesson:
1. - This doesn’t sound anything like Spanish
2. - Carrying a notepad and pen with you is required
if you want to figure out what they’re actually saying
3. - Laughing helps.
A lot.
- Apparently it’s obvious that I want to be able to
communicate. The director of the program
came over during my lesson and was like “You are just so eager to speak
Amheric!” I just laughed and nodded.
