Comprende? No? No entiendo? Que? eeehhh....una momento while I check the dictionary. Well well...that has bascially been my past 24 hours. Last night we were taken to our host families. Lots of other people in my group got families very close to the school, I was driven a nice hike away and introduced to my familiy. A 70 year old lady with kidney stone. How do I know this? Because fifteen minutes into my stay during dinner she gets a glass container from a box and points at her stomach. I double checked the dictionary, and yes, there in front of me were the lady´s kidneystones....eewww! She speaks no English so we have been communicating with hmms and aahhs.
This morning it was time for the first Spanish school lesson, and that has been amazing. I did not learn my teacher´s name til the last day, but the photo shows Stephanie and me discussing pastries in Spanish. She´s great and having one teacher to one student really beats any French lesson I ever had in highschool. So four and a half hours with that every day should hopefully teach me some Spanish. At the moment I´ve learned present tense of the verb "entiendo" (to understand), which then comes in handy when I want to say "I don´t understand!"
But, gotta run, I´ve got 50 lines to write.
So long.
