In better news, I covered a Lego program (maybe 'program' is a strong word for dumping three boxes of Legos out on a table) and spent the whole hour listening to/chatting with a kid who had to update me on everything he was building, 100% in Spanish. He was into everything being cute and little--in Spanish, you can add "ita" or "ito" to the end of a word to mean it is little and cute, so instead of a casa (house) he made a casita, instead of a carro (car), he made a carrito, etc. I love talking to kids in Spanish because I can be really un-selfconscious--they don't care about my bad grammar or the fact that I can't roll my rs. Also, I learn a lot about the imperative tense from preschool age children.
lol! kids would be the best way to learn imperatives!

ReplyDeleteI can amuse kids with my attempts to speak Spanish. It's my superpower.
