You may remember that I was set the challenge by one of the residents here to introduce some forthcoming entertainment in Spanish…. And she was to do the introductions in English….
Well on Monday the moment of truth dawned, we had been practicing for a week helping one another with the pronunciation of one another’s language..!
We began and all went well…although the “entertainment” was a singer who didn’t sing, only mimed to the words of songs on a cd….! The hardest challenge for me was not the Spanish but to stop myself from smiling inappropriately or cringing too much…
Anyway the residents all enjoyed it and had a great time for several days after I have been told how well my Spanish is coming along and that I am learning quickly – little do they know that I/we had been practicing for a week!!!! I was most proud though of the Spanish resident who was introducing in English as she had worked tirelessly all week to ensure her English pronunciation was correct, she did immensely well.
There are pictures however I am unable to post on blog...
