Learning again

I´m in Spanish school this week. For 4 hours each morning I sit with an instructor who tries to stuff vocabulary into my brain. and grammar.

It's a bit frustrating. I understand it all, having learned French previously. But the words are different, of course. I can certainly, with prompting, recite the various verbs in their conjugation. but just saying I work, you work, they work, we work, etc, etc. is boring. I need to add some interest to it. But suddenly I need to know how to add clauses, and need more vocabulary than I have.

The joys of learning something new all over again. It´s humbling, to say the least.

The most interesting bit today: I wore my denim shirt with the Canadian Unitarian Council logo sewn on it today. One of the other students at my Spanish school asked me if that was a chalice, am I UU? Yes, of course. So is he--he´s from Boston. I didn´t get time to ask him his name though. Maybe I'll see him tomorrow.
