A new year...
My aim for these next two months is to get as good at Spanish as possible before I head back in Abancay in March. I'm meeting every day for 4 hours with Sandra... we do all sorts of cool stuff like read magazine articles, cook, play Scrabble and Boggle, watch and discuss movies, watch court cases on TV, visit interesting places in Lima, eat different types of food... all while working on improving my Spanish.
Learning made fun and practical has meant that this whole process of absorbing another language has been rather pain free... and I definitely think that living with a family has made a huge difference. Speaking of family... my family from Abancay arrived last week, so I've been trying to hang out with them (cept they live really really far away!)
Though it's not all fun and games... I'm also going to start intensive grammar twice a week for 2 hours each time with another girl named Roxy. I still confused about the 3 different types of past tenses and the subjunctive... I tried to learn by osmosis, but I don't think that was such a good plan so hopefully Roxy will explain it all to me...!
Pray for my relationship with my family from Abancay, Sandra and Roxy, for good health in Lima (my allergies have been OK but I've been taking antihistamines...) and that Spanish will continue to become more natural... speaking, reading and writing.
