I'm not quite sure how to interpret our forceful
ejection by a teacher of 2 hours; sheer despair at our woeful performance with
verbs; an instant dislike for our totally unplanned and unfortunately matching
tops? But, it happened. We had 2 hours with the rather severe Yolanda and when
we returned from the much needed coffee break she informed us that we were
moving to another teacher, the somewhat bemused Lidia. Having the razor sharp
instincts of Poirot on the case, we noted that Lidia seemed totally unprepared
for our arrival - she did not have a classroom; she did not have any papers;
and rather tellingly she started with a lot of questions and then a lot more
questions. Not having the spanish for lime
stone outcrops, my attempt to describe the highlights of travelling in China was somewhat rocky (pardon the pun), but
she persevered leaving Richito to struggle with the deserts of Egypt and
ancient civilisations!
Today, Lidia was prepared and she came back with
avengence; irregular verbs classification 1 and 2. Does all this stuff really exist in English?
The spanish have a verb for dead - when the hell do you say I am dead? we are
dead? Do I really need to know this to get a bus to Buenos Aires? So, just the 32 irregular verbs
to conquer and then a family birthday party, as its mama's birthday, so lots of
excited latin americans expecting me to understand them speaking - think I've
just answered my own question with that death verb.
