Thursday:
Spanish Level: Not so hot. I tried reading the newspaper this morning and I couldn’t understand a bit of it? I was truly surprised when I couldn’t even read my 5 line horoscope. :(
I had a lot of homework today so I got up and started working on it early. It was raining cats and dogs outside. I mean I thought the house might wash away. About 11:30 Stephanie and two of her classmates came home from school. School was canceled there was so much rain.
Jocelyn, one of her friends, was very friendly and talked to me a long time and corrected my Spanish. She wanted to know how many people I knew in Hollywood. Atlanta is literally closer to Costa Rica than it is to Hollywood. I showed her my little picture book and she went through every picture with me. Thanks mom! Then the girls worked on some science experiments. I tried to help them with one but I couldn’t even read their text book. I figure I am a 1st or 2nd grade reading level if Im lucky. Then they asked me to translate a song in English to Spanish for them. The song was sung by a Hispanic person with such an accent I could barely tell it WAS in English. By the time I got an ear for her voice I’m sure the girls thought I was nuts. I didn’t know enough Spanish words to tell them what the song said.
My family has a dog named Kimba. He is little like Rusty but has thick fur. Here they don’t let dogs in the house much. Most people think it is dirty to have a dog in the house.
My class was in town today. My teacher and I walked around. We talked about thing in the stores and the streets and how much rain there had been in the morning. It was nice not to sit in a classroom all afternoon. We also watched some locals practicing a traditional dance ‘of the grandparents’. One man there was 98. Pura Vida!
