En el que obtener ayuda gratuita ...

Mi estudiante estuvo tarde hoy porque ella (y su maestra de su clase de la mañana) fueron caminando al recinto olímpico.

Quiero ir. 

Creo que será interesante de ver las cosas ahora y luego otra vez en un año cuando vayamos  a la inauguración de la ceremoniero. Oh, ¿le he dicho que tenemos las entradas para la inauguración de la ceremoniero? ¡Qué suerte!.

Una de las señoras de la limpieza aquí en la escuela, que me encanta – practico hablar español con ella un poco cada día, ella debe enseñar – acaba de llegar a mi clase y vio que yo estaba escribiendo en español.

Ella corregido por completo mi trabajo (muy útil) y ahora ella quiere hacerme unas cócteles de Perú para mi cumpleaños.

¡Fantástico!

As usual I'm only picking up a few words of your posts, and not near enough to get the gist of them. But I'm wondering if after 15 days in your Spanish is improving with this. Mission being accomplished? Uh, English please, should you feel compelled to respond. ;-)

A former student of yours spoke Spanish in Peru, perhaps? Was the first question 'are you going to dress up and dance in the opening ceremony?" or "are you going to translate the olympic dignatries' platitudes?

SOMS: my Spanish is improving in that I'm becoming more aware of when to use what tense (even though I might be making mistakes, I'm thinking about the rationale behind the tenses). I'm also picking up vocab that I want to use to express what's happening day-to-day rather than what I'd learn in a coursebook.

Do I feel more fluent? Not necessarily. Do I feel more aware of what I need to learn and what I'm doing (or trying to do) with the language? Definitely! It's a great learning experience, even if it's making me learn that I have a lot to learn. ;-)

Mitzi: A student of mine went on a walking tour of the olympic site (see link) and I want to do it, because it'd be cool to see how it is now compared to a year from now when I go to the opening ceremonies (which I have tickets for, because I'm lucky).

A cleaning lady at work, who I love and encourages me to practice speaking Spanish with her (she should be a teacher) caught me writing this and gave me a lot of correction. Now she wants to make me Peruvian cocktails for my birthday. (more or leas, not reading the post to translate it).

first question was: 'have i told you I have tickets to the opening ceremonies' (for the Olympics)

Peruvian cocktails? Do they come without any llama bodily fluids?

"Pisco Sours". She made no mention of llamas. Yikes.
