Mi casa es enorme....

Clase viente uno already! The series of Bueno, entonces... classes are going so quickly I can´t believe it, and I know my Spanish is improving, but I constantly feel I SHOULD be better by now. I think this is probably a problem many students have when learning a new language- constant frustration! I expect my Spanish to improve exponentially everyday, but in reality it will only get really good if I practice, practice, practice alllll the time. So although the Bueno, entonces... classes are fun, interesting, useful and I am learning alot from them, I am not solely relying on them to teach me everything I need to know about Spanish. I have recently picked up a copy of the new Vice Magazine, and have set myself the difficult task of reading it...so, every night, dictionary in one hand, Vice in the other I am amused by tales of, well, vice....perhaps not the easiest reading to start with, but I like Vice Mag, and reading Spanish is very important for improvement!

David has finally got some action, but it went badly. Standard I imagine! But in fairness he wasn´t in the ideal location: ´diminuto cuarto, duro cama, mucho espejos´....ie. a tiny little griefhole of a room with a rock hard mattress and full of grubby mirrors....ummm, muy romantico!

Today´s class covers environmental descriptions, which is something I already know abit about, after spending much time trawling Craigslist for a ´habitacion´. There is some very practical information about renting in Argentina (something which is not particularly easy here!) and it is useful to know how to describe ones surroundings, but I feel like perhaps this subject might have been better located abit closer to the beginning of the series of classes, as maybe people who are actually moving here and looking for a place may be using Bueno, entonces... at the start of their trip!

Yesterday I saw the BE iPhone application, and was so impressed! I use an old, basic brick of phone, so cannot download applications, but if I had an iPhone I would be very excited to use Bueno, entonces... on it. It´s such a great idea to be able to carry a whole language class: including teacher, student, whiteboard and all in your pocket...ahh techonology, it never fails to astound me! (sorry, grandma moment there...)
