Hey everyone! Well, time is winding down! Today is my last day of school, and by the time most of you all read this, I´ll be done! School has been incredible-I never thought I´d learn so much in only a month. We´ve done a really intensive study of the past tenses (there are a lot in Spanish and can be very confusing to differentiate!) and I feel like I´ve learned so much. I´m definitely going to be using all this information one day in a classroom! My teachers are PHENOMENAL-I love them! I got to talk to Cruz, my first teacher, about teaching Spanish and different ways to make it easier and more fun to learn-she makes me so excited about teaching-I want to start now! She gave me her email address, so I´m sure we´ll be in touch. She said she has a ton of material she could share with me! How exciting!
We get our final evaluations today, so we´ll see how much I´ve learned and what they think of my español!
I love Salamanca so much, but I think the thing I´m going to miss the much is school and my teachers-class is actually FUN to come to, and they´re always really encouraging and whenever you´re wrong, they just correct you and keep going-it´s great! I wish I had a native speaker to follow me around all the time and help me...
Spanish has also gotten easier....and harder! I´ve realized how much more I need to learn, and a lot of it is going to be on my own, and not in a classroom. But the other day Cruz was talking, and I swear it was English because I understood everything! This trip has helped me to think in Spanish, so now I don´t spend all my time trying to translate words in my head...I just know them! But, I still have a long way to go. This trip has kind of ¨reinvigorated¨me to study more and be the best that I can be at Spanish.
We leave Salamanca at 3 AM on Sunday morning, and I´ll be in town Sunday night around 10 PM....but it´s going to feel like about 3 AM to me! It´s going to be a long day of traveling, but I´m so excited about coming home! I´ve gotten all my stuff packed already, and it fits better than when I came...don´t ask me how!
Well, I´m off to my last 2 classes-I´ll let you know when I´m home! Thanks for keeping up with me-I´ve loved your comments and emails. They´ve helped me feel like home is closer! Love-Rebecca
