Crystal Learns Spanish

When life gives you lemons... make lemonade. When work gives you the ultimatum... go to Costa Rica to learn Spanish! My mom says my life "is a do-over". Im not so sure about that. But the opportunity has come in my mid 30's to do something I’ve dreamt of for years; travel abroad and learn the Spanish language. This blog is for my friends and family to enjoy the tales of my experience.

Spanish Level: Well Id like to say I was smarter than the average bear and that I was flying back to the USA at the end of this week (I can’t believe 4 weeks have flown by so quickly) but I think I need a few more lessons. I purchased two more weeks at my school here in Quepos today. That means Ill be here till Oct 7th for sure. After that I plan to change schools to one in San Jose or close to there where it is cooler.

Today I had my Spanish lesson on football. Not US football but scoccer, the rest of the world’s version of football. Yesterday I tried to watch a game with the family but I didn’t understand enough really to even pretend to watch or be interested. So today in my discussion class at school (I’m the only person who goes) I asked my teacher if he could tell me the rules of football in one hour. I think he was glad to talk to me about football. His mom apparently used to play when she was younger. In Costa Rica it is VERY consuming for the general population. My family however, doesn’t watch much so I haven’t had an opportunity to learn from them.

Speaking of football!!! I SEE AUBURN is #2 in the AP poles, and guess who is #1???... OHIO STATE. Oh and be sure to check and see who is #9… GO DAWGS… *grin*. Thanks for all the voicemail messages everyone!!!
