Hoy subbed en clase de español. Después de la traducción de las sentencias de 5 de Inglés a Español y responder a algunas preguntas en sus libros de texto, que había una fiesta. Los estudiantes habían traído trata y compartida con cada uno de ellos y otros que vieron La Princesa Prometida. En español, por supuesto.
For someone that grew up so close to Mexico and had spanish class at least 3 times a week throughout elementary, I speak very limited Spanish. I understand so much more than I can speak and I understand more when I can read it. When parents that do not speak English come into the office it can be amusing to listen to the parent and I communicate. Usually between my limited Spanish and their limited English we do fine, but sometimes we both end up staring at each other in frustration until Mr. C can come and translate for us.But Mr. C. will be retiring in a couple of years, leaving us with no one to translate for us. I think I had better add a Spanish class to my college courses.
And the above paragraph? Translated using this nifty website- www.google.translate.com Handy for translating letters sent home, homework assignments, truancy notes, and blog posts.
Indeed.
