Today we completed five days of spanish immersion, with 4 hours of spanish lessons each morning, then practicing together for about 3 hours each afternoon. Our minds are tired. We both feel like we acquired a basic vocabulary and understanding of verbs, but just very basic. We can go around the town and ask for things in spanish (no one speaks much english here), so we have gained that ability. The spanish verbs are very complex and we now recognize the conjugations, but that does not mean we can use them. We are still walking around with cheat sheets in our pockets.
