Via Dolorosa

In honor of Easter coming up. I like this song a lot and I thought that it is a beautiful song.

Indefenido

We are learning how to congegate words in the past tense in class recently. I find this very difficult at times because of the irregular ways that the congugations work. There is no rime or reason to some of them and no pattern to follow. This poses a problem because then I just have to memorize the words and the way they act. I now start to understand the problem that other people have when they begin to learn english. English has a bunch of irregular words and is a tricky language at times. I'm glad that for the most part there is a pattern in the way words work in spanish.

Besame, Besame Much

We learned a new song in spanish class this semester called Besame. It is a new class favorite and I think that it is a really pretty song. Here is a version performed by Andre

Spring Semester

Well the new semester has started and that means beginning spanish part 2. I think this semester is going to be good with our new textbooks and destinos and singing. I am excited about being able to read the stories so far in one of our text books. It it alot of fun to be able to understand part of another language.

Feliz Navidad

La Iglesia de Espanol

I went to the Clinton Spanish church today with my Aunt. We signed the guest book and went in for Sabbath school. When church came around and it was time to introduce the visitors and they announced that they had two gifts for the first two visitors who had signed the book. Well there was a visitor that had come in before us so he went up and received the gift. My aunts name was next, but she wouldn't go up because she goes there every once in awhile. So they called my name to go up. I kind of froze and had a moment of fear. But finally I got up and walked to the front and received the gift. It was nice of them, and they were all very friendly. It was a good experience and I was able to see alot of people that I knew.

Wheat Center

We went to the Wheat Center in Clinton this week to practice our Spanish. When we arrived we were divided into pairs to help in the shop. Lynise and I were paired up, and we were assigned the job of restocking the shelves in the food pantry. Well for some reason they underestimated our strength and put Paul and Matthew in there instead. Oh well. So we were moved to help clean the racks of the clothes that were not any good. While we were working a Spanish gentleman came up to us and asked a question. I could understand that he was looking for something that had to do with beef. There was one word though that was key to his quetion and I had no idea what it ment. It turned out that he was looking for a meat grinder. They didn't have one, but I learned a new word, even though I can't remember it now. lol All in all it was a good experience.
