Lesson Worksheets
I received some lesson worksheets from my instructor via email. I got pages 2-5, but #1 was missing, which might have some crucial elements in it. For instance, the first lesson consists of masculine and feminine nouns -- especially, with rules of words ending in -o or -a; however, what about the words ending in -e or a constanent? Those rules are left off of the lesson and I will have to seek help elsewhere to help determining the masculinity or feminity of words such as --
coche, hombre, mujer, arbol, hotel, pan, clase, cafe, lapiz, calle, restaurante, camion, llave, salon, ciudad, estudiante, and ventilador.
Once I figure out those then the rest should fall into place.
Part of my lesson is also writing a paragraph in Spanish about my work that I do. So far, I have:
"Yo trabajo a la Nacional Domestico Violencia Hace linea. Yo amor funcionamiento alla porque yo disfrutar rapapolvo personas y guia los recursos que pueden. Mi...."
Not very far, huh? lol....
Later today, I had dinner with my daughter after shopping for some new shoes for me. We had a lot of fun throughout the process; however, I forgot to mention that I had started to take some spanish classes to her, so I called her cell phone while we were travelling to our perspective apartments. She was surprised that I had actually started the lessons and then stated, "Mom, say the ABCs with me. Ah - Beh - Si - ..." At first I was quiet and reflective, it seemed not so long ago that I was telling her the same thing when she was little - excepting not in Spanish. It is amazing how one's life can turn full circle before one knows it!
In the meantime, I hope that the Spanish I learned as a child will come full circle and help me expedite my learning process.
