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.

Tuesday:
Spanish Level: I read a children’s book to Carmen and Stephanie after school today, more like a pamphlet, about 10 pages long, Snow White celebrated her anniversary with the prince. Last night it was a book about a bears Kanai and Koda, tomorrow the Little Mermaid. After each page they explain words to me I don’t know. Sort of like reading and charades combined.

When I got home tonight we had moved to the little house. Carmen had moved my room for me. Carmen and Wibert also moved everything from the bathroom into the kitchen and den. The bathroom is huge, 3 times the size of my bedroom. They had a lot of shelves and dresseres in there with all their clothes and shoes (functioning as Carmen, Wilbert and Stephanies closets) as well as Carmen’s sewing and craft room and all the bed and bathroom linnen. So it was quite a sight to see all this stuff on shelves and tables in the middle of the house.

In the empty bathroom, Geraldo is applying a coat of cement, or stucco or something like that... to smooth out the walls. What ever it is, it has smoothed out the walls so they dont look like bricks any more, but a nice even wall. (Aimee, maybe they could do something like that to your driveway). I didnt think it was possible to put more concrete on concrete?

Living in the little house is sort of like being in a dorm. When the water main to the little house is “on” the shower head leaks about a gallon per 5 mintues so we have to turn it on and off when we want to use water. This sucks because if you need to go to the bathroom, you have to go outside and turn on the main first. Its also hotter in the little house because it is back from the street between the large house and some appartments so it gets sun but little to no breeze.
