Back to school

Tuesday October 3

I'm so glad I pick up things pretty easy lately, because there were no more excuses, I have to go 'back to school'. After almost two months in Madrid it's very clear to me: people in Spain speak Spanish.... only Spanish!
I found a school in the center, just a few metro stops from my appartment and so I started yesterday with the first lesson.
My classmates are from Russia, Austria, Turkey and China so no common language here. But that was no problem, because the Spanish classes are all in Spanish. Even the first day! I have to admit it was not very easy for me. It can be very funny though. Ever seen a Spanish teacher trying to explain to a Chinese student what a 'Zoo' is when they have no reference what so ever?? Imagine!!
One thing is very clear to me: I have to put some effort in this, because it's not easy, so I bought pens and paper and even an agenda like real 'school-people' do. I even know the Spanish word for homework (deberes)! As you can see, I take this really serious.....


deberes! HELP!
