Estudiando Español

Thanks be to God, we have completed our first week of Spanish school!   We are so grateful for the opportunity to work towards attaining a good foundation of the Spanish language for our life in Peru. We spend our mornings in class and our afternoons studying.  Jason is bombarded with a ton of new vocabulary, and spends many hours on flashcards.  I have the advantage of coming in with some knowledge of Spanish, so I have been recalling and refining what I already once knew.  It has been very helpful for both of us. I asked the kids to share some of their thoughts on our time in Guatemala and language school.  Isaac and Gemma are really jumping in and are trying hard to learn Spanish. Gemma said, "I have learned a lot of words, phrases, and rules already.  Now, I need to work hard to memorize them.  I am happy we are going to language school, so that I can talk better to the people in Peru.  Guatemala is helping prepare me for Peru."  Gemma has been making flash card
