June 1 - Day 1: Mano a Mano

Besides myself, there was a lady named Lisa who works at the Round Lake Library. She has 5 kids and a Mexican husband. Then, there is Cynthia, who is a Volunteer Firefighter in Fox Lake (and she also lives in Fox Lake). Cynthia's father is also a student. His name is George, and he lives in Fox Lake too, and he writes brochures for an Industrial company.

La Maestra
Our Teacher's name is Kristen. She is a Volunteer at Mano a Mano, and is going into her last year of college. For her last year, she is going to be splitting her time between Martinique and Chile because she is a French and Spanish major.

Class
We had introductions, a short test so that Kristen knew how advanced we were (LOL), and we also practiced some conversations. Cynthia and George have attended classes before, so they are pretty fluent. Cynthia can speak in sentences.

Difficil
Learning a language is very difficult. I do think it is easier learning from someone who can explain things in English, however.
