Let The Spanish Lessons Begin

During high school I had the choice to learn Spanish, French or German.

1. I heard the French teacher was really hard
2. Everyone and their mom was taking Spanish
3. Some girl I liked at the time was taking German

So obviously at the time learning German sounded like the best selection.  Now almost 15 years later I wish I would have been forced to take Spanish or at least wise enough to realize that I would probably never talk to a German outside of my class.

So now it is time to bite the bullet and for me to learn a new language (not sure I really ever learned German).  I have asked my Spanish speaking hero (Paige) to help me learn as much as possible before we go down to Mexico.  I know I can’t learn everything before we actually move down to Mexico, but I really want to at least be able to understand some of the basics.  Since Paige is pretty fluent in Spanish she has offered to help me learn through Spanish 3 and then I will get a tutor to help with the rest once we are down in Mexico.  I wasn’t sure how or when Paige would start to teach me, but that question has now been answered.  A couple of days ago I came home from work to a house filled with everything important labeled in Spanish.  So needless to say the Spanish lessons have begun and I now know the word for mirror and am working on many others.  Here is a glance at a few of the things labeled in our house…

What are some of your favorite Spanish words?
