Hello everyone!! I'm new to SpanishDict and I just wanted to introduce myself. I am so thrilled that I found this site, I am learning Spanish in my spare time and I need all the help I can get! I'm not half bad at it, but right now I can only study in my spare time. So here I am! grin
I was one of those kids who learned to count from uno to diez at four years old, and I picked up a few words here and there growing up. Then I took a year of Spanish in 9th grade. I was excited when I began the course, but midway through that excitement was long gone. My main frustration was that I still couldn't roll my rr's. I also had no one to practice with.. I ended up barely passing the class and then forgetting all about it. As luck would have it, just a year after I forgot that little bit of Spanish I'd learned, I fell in love with a young man who had moved in 3 doors down. He was from Honduras, and I thought he was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen!! Neither of us were any good at the other's native tongue.. So guess who began frantically trying to learn Spanish? Yep, me. We started studying together, and I fell in love with the language for the first time! Our little romance didn't last long, which looking back now, isn't surprising. We broke up, and a couple of months later, he called and told me he was going home. I haven't heard from him since. After he was gone though, I realized that he left me with something I didn't have before we met - a love for the Spanish language and culture. In the year since he left, I've continued learning. I've made quite a few Hispanic friends, who have cooked me some of the most amazing food ever.. And I've even went to a Spanish church. The first few times I went, someone would translate for me, but now I can understand alot of what is said on my own. I feel like a loser sometimes when I don't understand or I mess up, but I know that's all part of learning. Deep down I know that someday, I will see my man again. And when I do, I will speak to him in fluent Spanish. I know he's going to be so proud of me!! I apologize for the length of this thing.. Hasta pronto! grin
