Re: Tony - Passing By - To All My Friends

I did the same a couple of days ago! Good to hear from you Tony. The pain will

lessen.

Mine has turned into more of an ache than an unexpected stab. It will lessen.

¡Mucho gusto, Tony! ¿Hablas español? How many in our group understand Spanish?

I'm originally from Uruguay, so that's my native language. Any one?

As the Dominicans would say " un chin, chin " LOL Lived in DR for 6

months (SIL is Dominican, brother & wife live in DR now) and 1 1/2 yrs

in PR (+ numerous visits to DR) - so know Spanish - but don't practice

it enough... I have a habit of speaking only in the present tense...

no, not a habit, it's all I know! Si tu quiere, tu puede practicar

conmigo. LOL

Ah come on Sharon, Cyber Daughter, you speak Spanish too? I think you are

saying you can read it but can't speak it. Is that right? Tou greeted Raquel

with hello.You never cease to amaze me. You have had the roughest life I have

ever heard and now you are ill yourself, and yet, bless your heart, you reach

out to others even in Spanish. I think a few words of it were, weren't they?

Dear you are a sweetheart,

Love a lot, even in Spanish,

Imogene Cyber Mom

Okay, now girls, let's not keep secrets. I took one semester of Spanish and

could read it a little bit then, but I never did learn to talk it; it's too

fast.

I have written people in shorthand and they didn't have a clue as to what I

wrote. So, that's what your post looks like to me. Just joking.

June...lo siento...I'm sorry.  What I said is that I am a Spanish teacher, but I

lose a lot of my ability especially during the summer when I'm not teaching!  I

have a degree in Spanish as well as in Speech and Drama Education. 

Additionally, I teach English, and because of those certifications, I taught

English as a Second Language for several years for both children and adults and

have quite a few Spanish-speaking friends.  However, with any language, if you

don't use it you lose it.  It's always exciting for me to find someone with whom

I can practice. 

 

From now on, when I post something in Spanish I will also post in English.

Jannis, I was just kidding - hope you didn't take it seriously. I didn't mean

to make you feel bad - you don't have to post in English, too. I could read a

few of the Spanish words, but certainly not enough to understand. I found the

hard part of Spanish was, if I remember correctly, the reversal of nouns and

verbs.

We have had such an influx of Spanish-speaking immigrants in the last several

years, and everywhere you go, everything is posted in both languages. Then, you

hear them conversing to one another, and they talk os fast, I can't understand

anything they say. I suppose it's the same with them hearing us.

As I said, I've written in shorthand a few times, and people find that pretty

aggravating. Even if you can read shorthand, it's pretty hard to read someone

else's. Some of the time, I can't read my own!!!
