I graduated from Escuela Mexicana.
My knowledge and understanding of Spanish has increased geometrically. Each day builds on the day before. My professors say learning is “poco a poco,” little by little. I hear a word. I see a word. I hear it again. And in time, it becomes part of my vocabulary.
Not once in the time I have been in Guanajuato has a Spanish speaker shown impatience or superiority when I struggle to speak their language. If anything, they become more patient, coaxing me to the words I am trying to form. Thank you to every one of them for their generosity.
I know that I am lucky to have the opportunity to have been immersed in the language and culture I want to know. There is no better way to learn another language.
