at the last astro overnight one of the mission specialists (part-time employee on the floor) and i were comparing our rolling rs skills aka non-existant rolling rs skills. you need to roll your rs to speak spanish correctly. while i was in mexico i tried to learn with my 4 year olds while a few of them tried to learn and failed. so narin (the mission specialist) recommended using youtube and i shared what i did with my 4-year olds. narin keeps updating me on his progress. and to be honest, he's basically almost got it. i kept saying by our next overnight i'd have it down or have at least put in some significant time.
our next overnight is THIS Friday and i haven't put in ANY time with rolling my rs. i updated him saturday and told him what a failure i am, but he keeps telling me i can do it....
on a more positive note i talked to isaac this weekend and asked him how my spanish is as i just wrapped up that groupon spanish class and he actually told me it was better. and i'm pretty sure he wouldn't lie to me (about a month ago he wasn't shy to tell me how bad my spanish got) so that made me feel pretty good.
one of my co-workers told me how she downloaded apps for newspapers from argentina (where she studied abroad) to keep up with her spanish and improve her reading. so i did the same... now to do the reading...
and i still need to work on my rs.
i have until friday....
