Teresa and Abu

Today I had my language exchange with Juanjo in the evening. As always we walked around the block and ended up getting Cokes and our normal restaurant, VIPS. I just love talking with him because he’s so eager to learn English and always comes with all sorts of questions for me. He watches some English learning TV show, does this program on the computer, and is reading a book in Spanish and comparing it with the English copy. It’s just so adorable how excited he is to learn English!! AND I can seriously tell he’s improving. Obviously I can’t take all the credit, if even any at all, but it still makes me feel good! J

Towards the end of our chat he asked if there was any way he could help me with all of the homework I have. I told him I just didn’t know how he could, unless he wanted to become an expert on Picasso or write a paper on Lope de Vega. He offered to come by the house sometime and edit some of my work though. Although Teresa and my mom offer to help me, I feel bad making them look over EVERYTHING. I mean seriously. Who wants to read 6 pages comparing the Carlos IV family to the royal family today? I just don’t want to be a burden for anyone.  Anyways, we set up a date that he’d come on Thursday and we’d only speak in Spanish! J What a nice guy!!!
