[d353r7r47]

So we made it through 3 days of Spanish at the Simon Bolivar school, but we decided an hour or two ago to call it quits. We technically two more days, since we signed up for a week, but we're not going to go

Are you using any of the Spanish you are learning? In 1996 I did 20 hours of French a week because I moved to France. We also had a teacher that wasn't that good. But if you're using the language you're learning away from class, it doesn't really matter if the teacher is crap or not, because you and the people you converse with replace the teacher! ;)

That's the thing. We haven't really learned anything we can use. For example, we spent about an hour on Tuesday on the vocab for body parts. We learned the words for things like forehead, eyebrows, eyelashes, knees, and things like that; but we didn't learn the word for heard of body in general.

We wanted to learn things like conversational skills, but that isn't what we were learning. We're still going to continue learning, we just don't know how we're going to do it yet.

a good teacher really makes a difference. that's what happened with my last spanish teacher. my first one was really fun but the second really threw me out of it. i only had one lesson with her =w=

That happened to me with my French teacher in Junior year of high school. Our normal teacher was good, but then she got a really bad disease and decided to retire early. We ended up having a substitute teacher for about 3/4 of the year. He was really nice, but a horrible teacher and I actually ended up forgetting a good bit of what I knew from the previous 6.5 years of French because of him. I also decided not to continue with French my last year of high school.
