10 Years After

Yo Justicia Para Todas

Yesterday in Spanish I had to recite the Pledge of Allegiance from memory. I scored a 95%.Not too bad considering how nervous I was. That's my second grade in the class so far. The first was a 96% on a quiz last week. The next opportunity for a grade is tomorrow when I have a quiz over the numbers, cero through cien.

I'm posting this after having spent an hour in the Language Lab. The instructor wants us to spen an hour a week in the lab, and I can see why. They employee native speakers on the tapes we have to listen to and they talk fast. I had to constantly rewind the tape to listen over and over to understand what they were saying. I guess that's the trade off to learning Spanish- it's a phonetic language, but the people speak it so damn fast. Oh well, with practice I should get better. I figure I can continue to spend an hour ever T and R and fit in some time on MWF as well.

Already I feel I have an edge on over 75% of the class. I at least had 2 years of Spanish in High School which is more than they have had. While it's been a while, some of it is coming back.

Off to World Civ and then onto work.
