I took two years of French and I remember even less of it than that. I have considered taking Spanish lessons recently because I’ve a child who, at age 5, has transcended my understanding of the language. My girl’s granny speaks Spanish as her main language, though you’d never know it by listening to how well she speaks English. She’ll talk both fluently, and she has given my child mini Spanish lessons.

They assert this is the ideal time for a kid to learn another language, and she’s indeed picking up what she’s been taught rather swiftly. I do not know what she’s announcing to me half the time when she speaks Spanish and I am able to see where this may be a difficulty in the future. I am not sure if I have the time to take Spanish lessons now, but the concept of talking a different language appeals to me more now than it probably did when I was in school. Back then, it was more of a fleeting thought and I took the classes because I was necessary to do so. If I were to take Spanish lessons now, I believe I might be more successful because I really have an interest in learning it now. I haven’t yet began to take Spanish lessons, but I have looked into it a little. I’ve found that I’ll go somewhere to take a class, though that’s out of the query, or I’m able to get a DVD or CD to help me in this enterprise. Due to time limits, I will most probably take Spanish lessons on DVD because this is most suitable to my life. This implies that I’m able to take on a lesson when I have the time, and I’ll learn at my personal pace.

Maybe I can further augment what my child is learning by sharing the Spanish lessons I am going to be taking with her as I’m going. Perhaps then she’ll surprise her granny with some new words.
