Stress of school

Aug 23, 2006 10:02

I am having a stressful week this week. The university started classes Monday and I found out that my Spanish professor does not speak any English in class when she is teaching. Now, I understand that the best way to learn is through immersion, but it is still really difficult. I am really thankful that (although it was 10 years ago) I have taken a ( Read more... )

What are you studying now?
I miss my Spanish classes. I don't want to think that in a month I will have to come back to university, but I can't wait one thing - my Spanish classes :) Although I'm a bit stressed becuase we're going to have a new teacher :( And I loved our teacher. She was very nice person.

I am actually trying to get into the Nursing program here at my university. I am trying to be able to apply at the end of this semester and hopefully will start Nursing classes next semester. I am taking Spanish for fun and because I think it's important to learn a foreign language (unlike most Americans)

Good luck then!
And nice that you learn Spanish. I heard this language is very popular in US, because you have many people from Spanish speaking countries there. I started Spanish classes year ago and I like it. And I like the idea that so many people around the world can speak it so if I am ever going to work in a tourim thing, I can go to English or Spanish speaking countries which gives a big number of countries around the world :)

Yeah, there are a LOT of Spanish speaking people here. I have heard it estimated (but not confirmed) that there are more Spanish speakers in the US than English speakers. We have a lot of immigrants from Cuba and Mexico... I would love to learn Italian next and I know that Spanish will help me out a lot with that! Good luck with your studies :-)
