Perhaps my emails are going into your spam or because of the es designation being diverted to the ether world. Have signed up for two weeks of intensive Spanish lessons. That should be interesting or devastating.

I loved the increasing sense of belonging that came as I acquired the capacity for simple communication--but was forever frustrated by the fact that I was shut out of any intellectual exchange of ideas. But the overall experience of living in another culture was exhilarating.

They always want you to talk and I'd much rather be writing. Have been back and forth with Maria Carmen on classes and she sent me to a friend who has recommended a language/conversation coach.

I love the purple gallinules. I can relate to the language problem - feel excluded and isolated. Will you be taking classes? I do love hearing about all that you are doing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07517033058848258425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928804242972630922.post-63268396816348303092014-11-06T11:09:54.843-08:002014-11-06T11:09:54.843-08:00Fascinating!
