We are pretty excited that our edition of the Rosetta Stone language learning software arrived this week. Its as basic as it gets with vocabulary but uses no English, just pictures, reading, writing, pronunciation, etc. all coming from several angles and repeated plenty. We're looking forward to getting some of this under our belts. Salvio, one of the outreach workers who is originally from Mexico, encourages us as he works on his English: "Your pronunciation is very good," he says. We tell him "thank you for speaking so highly of the three words we have mastered!"
We've been talking about learning Spanish for years, with all the trips to Tijuana to build houses, but there is nothing like having it around you all the time to get you motivated!
Dios te bendiga!
