Adios Mirtha

Well after 3 weeks of Spanish classes we have decided that learning Spanish is not really for us and have decided to say Adios to Mirtha.

The class would be really good for someone who is wanting to fully learn the language but for us it was starting to feel like a bit of a chore.

Given we have been to Spain before we really just wanted to learn some basics to help us be able to communicate a little better with the locals. After 3 weeks of classes and learning how to say words like Astronaught and unicorn in Spanish we both felt that things were not really going in the right direction for us.

We checked out the Internet and have found some websites that seem a little more appropriate for us to use to learn some basic greetings, food, directions and simple phrases that will come in handy for travel.

We found that we did get a bit of value out of the class with helping pronounce words, so that is a bonus. But overall, it became a little annoying and thus decided to call it a day.

I don't think we will struggle with language and only time will tell to see if we made the right decision.

It is 11 weeks until we go and we are counting down the days - yay!
