hola!

beunos dias, como esta? yo estoy muy bien. y tu? como te llamas?

hahaha! yeah, it's spanish...i just took up spanish lessons and last friday was my first lesson...have been wanting to learn a 3rd language for the longest time and finally, i surfed the internet and picked up the phone, paid the amount 315 and viola! i'm learning spanish....

was actually expecting to see a cute spanish teacher who look like this:

unfortunately or maybe fortunately ( so i can really concentrate on the class), my teacher is a female who looks like a chinese but is actually from Peru. when she first walked in....i was like.." what??!! i paid 300 to get a chinese to teach me spanish? she better be good if not i'm so going to scream at the coordinator of the course!!

basically my class is rather huge...around 15 persons..and i must say most of them look like students..college students....and i have a strong hunch that they are from SMU and has plans to go on exchange program to Spain..haha and because of this, i felt really really really old...*sob sob* and i hope they are not too fast learners if not i , this auntie, cannot catch up sia...but thank god, so far so good...

there are 2 very interesting people in m group which i must comment on...

there was this girl...she seemed to be from PRC..when the teacher asked if any of us have any spanish exposure, we all shook our head except for this girl..she said.." oh, i've been learning spanish for the past 6 months as part of my school's ciriculum " so my question is...what the fark are you doing in a basic spanish class? too much time and money? and she does seemed to know basic spanish and she seemd to be able to hold a spanish conversation with my teacher...weird...

then there's this man...he came late and he sat next to me as that's the only available seat left..and when our teacher asked us to practice by speaking to each other..he said this to me..." i'm learning french, italian, a bit of german too..and personally i dont think it's necessary to learn how each individual alphabet sound.. i usually just made notes on how to pronounce certain words...blah blah blah blah " hello???!! did i mention that i was interested to know what you're learning and how you're learning a new language??? and then we were sort of praciting with each other by speaking in the simple spanish that we've learnt...and there as a part that we have to asked each other's telephone number...he told me.." i think we dont have to ask each other number right? " oh my gawd...do i look like i'm even interested in his name? do i look like i am desperate to know him and get his telephone so that we can develop our relationship? do i look so desperate to him? puh-leese, i shown NO SIGNS of interest AT ALL..and to this ridiculous question that he posed to me..i answered.." eh, i think the teacher meant for us to use the nubmer that she has put on the board for us to practice and not asking us to ask each other for our numbers right? " hahaha! he went speechless...seriously, i think he's thinking too much...

am actually quite excited for my next lesson...but need to practice my spanish as my teacher said there's going to be quiz..dont want to be the only auntie who fail the quiz! by the way, i tried practicing to some of my friends and they kept laughing non-stop..guess i do speak with a strange face and accent? HAHA!
