Y Tu?


I am planning to use some archived BLOG entries from somewhere else. This is one of those.

(March 27, 2008)

Tomorrow is my Spanish mid-term and I feel I am not retaining the information I am struggling to learn....

However.... one of the promodoras at work just came in my office and gave me a note for the book keeper, it says, "Laura, Mr. Silva nesasita que le llama." (the lack of accents, etc, is in her writing not my typing....)

WOW! All three words are in my vocabulary list. Simple sentence..... yet I knew the meaning at first glance!

Nesesita--necesitar (+inf) (v)=to need.

Que=what ,which.

Llama--llames (v)=to call...

So, it says, “Laura, Mr Silva needs you to call.....”

Now, I am smiling. Maybe I will learn Spanish still.

ETA: I got a 97% on my Spanish mid-term! I am still amazed that I did that well. I did study harder than I have for any other Spanish test, but I feel this time I had help from.... somewhere. I used more sources to study than just the book and online tutorial... I even read some children's books.....
