Hace tres semanas estamos aqui en Tlaquepaque, y damn, me gusta mucho. Estoy aprendiendo mucho y cada dia hay nuevas personas a conocer y hablar con. Ahorita estoy en una clase nueva - En lunes, tenía una clasa privado (yay!) pero despues hay dos mas estudiantes. Esta bien.
Nuestra familia aqui es fantastica, especialmente la madre y el hijo menor. Tambien tenemos una "language exchange" compañera, se llama Nayeli, tiene diez y ses años, y es muy muy simpatica. Ella practica su ingles con nosotros, y yo practico mi español con ella, y Jessie practica hablar, pero no hay muchas nuevas palabras para ella. Conocimos su familia también, y acábamos de cenar con ellos en un restaurant que a ellos les gusta mucho. Despues, preguntaron a nosotros, si hay un lugar en Guadalajara que quieríamos conocer mejor. Respondí "el centro", y el padre dijo "Bueno, cuál día y a qué hora quieres salir?" Wow. Okay. Entonces, a domingo a las diez, vamos a ir con la familia al centro de Guadalajara. Yay! Para nosotros, estadosunidenses, es un poco difícil aceptar tanta hospitalidad, pero estamos haciendo lo que podemos.
Y ahora este párrafo en ingles:
And now for that paragraph in English (maybe)
For three weeks we have been in Tlaquepaque, and damn, I like it a lot. I am learning a lot, and every day there are new people to meet and speak with. Right now
I'm in a new clas - on monday, I had a private class (yay!) but afterwards there are two more students. It's cool.
Our family here is fantastic, especially the mom and younger son. Also, we have a "language exchange" partner, her name is Nayeli, she is 16 years old, and is very nice. She practices her english with us, I practice my spanish with her, and Jessie practices speaking, but there aren't many new words for her. We met her family as well, and just ate dinner with them in a restaurant that they like a lot. Afterwards, they asked us, if there is a place in Guadalajara that we would like to know better. I responded "the center" and the father said "Okay, which day and at what time do you want to go?" Wow. Okay. So, on sunday at ten, we will go with them to the center of Guadalajara. Yay! For us, americans, it's a little difficult to except so much hospitality, but we are doing what we can.
That's it for now. Jessie's going crazy learning Italian on livemocha.com (I'm sure she'll write all about it when she gets a chance) and I'm busy eargasming over Lamb Of God's new album on youtube.
Good luck to all of you in the states, sounds exciting with all the news, but also a bit scary. I hope Arnold knows what he's doing. Likewise Obama.
-Jay
**Note** Jessie helped with the spanish spelling, because I still really suck with accents and the natural placement of vowels. But other than that, ¡estoy muy animado por aprender español! ¡Con un keyboard hispaña, tambien!
