Terminamos! (We're finished)


John, Justin and I have completed our Spanish lesson books after 9 months. We are so excited and encouraged to have persevered, thanks be to God who enables us. So what now? Well, John will continue to meet with Noemi (our maestra) to go over his talks and Sunday School lessons on Friday mornings. In August, Justin will begin "Spanish 2" so to speak. He will work through the verb book that John and I just completed. Jason and Kevin will begin Spanish lessons of their own using the Abeka Spanish curriculum which came recommended by a former Spanish teacher I met here at the orphanage. As for myself, I will work through reading The Horse and His Boy in Spanish and meet with Noemi once a week for help with vocabulary, discussion and composition assignments.
So all in all, what does this really mean? That we are fluent? No. It means that I can began meeting with Prince Myshkin again before I attempt to decipher what exactly Aslan is saying in Spanish.

"Justin will began" and "I can began"? Maybe you need to brush up on your English verb tenses while you're at it! ;)

Kidding aside, I'm happy to keep hearing that y'all are still progressing. Fluency will come!
