Last Wednesday I started a weekly advanced Spanish conversation course that I’m really excited about! I heard about this through my hairdresser, oddly enough, and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. We meet on Wednesday’s from 10-12 and read various pieces of literature before every class which we discuss and review and move on to various topics, current events, etc. The group is made up of 6 women who all love Spanish language and culture and have either lived abroad with their families in Spanish speaking countries for several years (I’m the youngest by 10+ years), were Spanish majors in college, or teach at the bilingual school. The class has already helped me get my ‘confidence’ back with the language and I’ve been inspired to start reading more and do more with the girls in Spanish. The women are also an excellent resource to various programs, events, and schools in the area that will allow me to use my Spanish.

Robin spends 2.5 hours in the morning at the YWCA child care while I take this class. It is her first experience in a child care environment. I’ve heard good reports so far, so fingers crossed!
