Why are you a spanish major? Good question. I got some insight today though. Most spanish classes I have taken concentrate on expressing personal states, feelings and opinions, and that aspect makes me uncomfortable. What if I don't say the "right" answer? Why does anyone CARE anyway? Instead of freezing up and making up answers, expressing what I'm feeling in the classroom here is imperative so I can do the same at home. It's a safe space since we're all learning. Pero, lo mas importante es just being honest with myself, no matter where I am. What a challenge! And what a great way to practice then learning another language. In spanish, since I have to lace every word together, I only say what's most significant, what I'm truly feeling. That is a good habbit to get into and I hope to keep to it in english. What's at the core? No babbling. I either need to write these in spanish or stop blogging (so much), because every night I am recollecting and recording the events of the day in english. And I need to stop thinking in english because that makes speaking spanish mas difícil. Es mucho mas facil para hablar el español cuando oigo mucho el idioma y continuo hablarlo constantamente. Ayer, daba un paseo por la Universidad de Sevilla, que magnifico, y probé un cafe Bailey's con Elisabeth anterior, aye que rico la crema! Hablaba con muchas personas nuevas de mi programa y me caen bien. Estoy muy animada para empezar y explorar la Universidad!
Tengo sueños ahora. Buenas noches
