Learning a new language

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that you can master enough Spanish to pass 2nd year-2nd semester college level quizzes and still not understand enough of the language to read the local newspaper, aimed at the literacy level of your average 6th grader?

  1. So true! I think the only way to really learn the language is to do exactly what you all are doing. My daughter,Sarah, has spent several weeks in Peru for the past 2 summers. That improved her comprehension dramatically. I love reading your blog! It's all so interesting. Keep posting!
