I'm so excited, so I want to share. My kids go to Monadnock Waldorf School in Keene, and every Fall, we have a Christmas crafts fair. We were working at our booth this weekend. A mother of one the kid's classmates was standing near our booth, talking to some older people (her parents?), and at first I only noticed it wasn’t in English, Then BAM! I realized I understood what she was saying… in Spanish.
First Breakthrough!
Then, this morning, who do I meet at the doorway, when I’m dropping off the kids, but this same lady. Without a thought, I said "Disculpe, Habla Español?" We talked, and I told her I was learning Spanish from the Internet, but that I didn’t have anyone to actually speak with. Then BAM!…the second breakthrough, we continued an entire conversation in Spanish. (well...Spanish mixed with a little English, and with mostly Gloria talking and me nodding like a bobble head...but still I spoke) She said we could arrange a time during the week to get together and she would help me practice. She is from Lima, Peru.
Afterwards, Gracie and Jeremiah were like..."Wow...I never heard you talking with someone is Spanish before!"
Wooo hooo
