This week I began conversational Spanish lessons from Carolina Mery-Wood at Pura Buena Onda<\/a>. \u00a0Before the Holidays, I met with Caro for a short one-on-one interview\\conversation to gauge my skill level. \u00a0She told me that while my vocabulary was excellent, I needed to improve my listening comprehension – I was between a beginner and intermediate. \u00a0She said it was up to me if I wanted to be the star pupil in the beginner class or perhaps the weaker of the intermediate students.<\/p>\n

I had my first class today with six other people and it was a lot of fun! \u00a0I was a bit anxious about my ability coming into the class, but I just dove in. \u00a0It was not as bad as I imagined it to be. \u00a0This is going to be fun and I am really looking forward to next week.<\/p>\n
