Learning the language(s)


It’s no secret that I have been trying to learn Spanish. I find reading to be the easiest and I can struggle through writing (with the help of a dictionary). It’s conversation that I find most difficult. So, I was thrilled to happen upon 7 young students in the park in Zarcero who greeted me in English. Seizing the opportunity, I responded in Spanish. We continued this way for awhile. They were studying English in school and I explained that I was studying Spanish. It was great fun and I think I will begin to search out other Spanish speakers who are trying to learn English. It seems to put us all on the same playing field.
