10 enero – Spanish School
Martha seems to know just when to switch it up. We work a little bit on verbs, switch to vocabulary all the while working on pronunciation. She agrees that patience is very important. We spent a considerable amount of time on ser/estar, the to be verbs today. Although it seems like my vocabulary and pronunciation are improving a little bit, its mostly seeing the words in writing that helps. I still dont have much confidence in my ability to actually hear and understand a sentence from a native speaker or conjugate a verb. Time will tell.
Part of my homework today was to take five or six given words and organize them into a sentence. Well see tomorrow, but I think I was able to do that with nine of the ten. Thats a step forward for me. I wasnt able to do that before I came here. Celebrating those small successes when I can!
