My dear Friends
Last year I met Mercedes, a Spanish lady from Santiago de Compostella and she invited me there. this is supposed to be a very beautiful place and is famous for being a pilgrim route, following in the footsteps of St James. Near the mountains, you start the journey in Veselay (excuse spelling ) in France, some hundreds of kilometres away.
Mercedes gave me a few Spanish lessons and I thought I must continue,so every week on Monday nights I have been trekking to Hills Road sixth form College for an adult education evening class.We started off with twelve enthusiasts and are down to six, but the group is very varied. Gemma is going to South America for five months, which is very exciting. I think I am the only one in the group who has never been to Spain.
Learning a new language is always a challenge-I am lucky to already know French, German and Hebrew-but Spanish has its own delights.I am not passionate about the language but find it very interesting and want to continue. So when I am struggling between the derecha (right)and the izquierda (left)(or is it the other way round?) think of me!
Shalom from
