I'm not sure if I've updated about my frustration the first couples weeks with "learning" German. The past couple weeks have been better. I'm learning a few phrases (emphasis on FEW, but I'm trying) in German, and everyone (including me) are improving on our spanish, or castillano as they call it here. (The only difference is the vocab is a little bit different, and they use the "vos" form instead of "tu.") But I'm feeling comfortable speaking Spanish. I can finally say what I want without having to put a lot of thought into forming sentences! :) Not that I'm completely fluent- there's always more to learn. For example, today at work I translated a pamphlet from English to Spanish, and of course I used the dictionary, but it's just a good opportunity to increase my vocab. (Am I starting to sound like Miss Optimistic? I hope not, I am trying to be more positive, but I don't want to sound like Pollyanna. haha)

That's all I have to say. Que tengan un buen dia! :)
