miscommunications
Grr. As I continue to study for my spanish test on monday, I realize that I am having the most difficult time with this language. Taking that year off from spanish senior year really kicked my butt. I wish I could have started learning spanish earlier... or that God had given me the gift of being bilingual. I am just so friggen clueless. I think one of the problems is that I keep trying to direct translate things, which is not possible at all. I need to stop thinking in terms of english grammer, because it's screwing me up like no other. I really hope I do well on this next test. Actually let me change that. I really hope that can gain a good understanding of the language and become somewhat fluent. Many of you may wonder why I care so much about learning spanish. I've discussed this with some people, but for the uninformed, my dream is to go to Espana spring semester of my junior year. I fell in love with spain when I went in soph year, and after hearing rave reviews from people who took semesters there, I can't wait to go back. That should explain a lot. I know I know, work hard at it and you'll be fine. It's just that languages have never really been my thing though. Sigh... woe is me.
