Continuando con el tema de la lengua y buscando cosas para dar gracias, estoy muy agradecida por Sara, mi tutora de lengua. Mudamos a Illescas con un
Encontré una academia privada que ofrece español para extranjeros. Durante todo el verano, intercambié correos electrónicos con Sara, pero realmente no tenía ni idea qué nivel de instrucción que yo iba a recibir. Finalmente, en septiembre, yo empecé clases.
Durante la primera semana yo supe que Sara fue perfecta para mi. Soy una pedagoga. Sé cómo enseñar y es muy frustrante ser enseñada por alguien que tiene un gran dominio del material, pero no en cómo enseñarlo. Sabía que si mi español iba a mejorar, yo necesitaba un profesor quien supiera cómo enseñar y cómo hablar.
Sara es una pedagoga. Ella sabe cómo enseñar y tiene un entendimiento del proceso de aprendizaje. Además, es una buena oradora de español. También, ella tiene mucha paciencia con mis repetidos errores. Ella sabe cuando yo necesito ánimo y cuando es necesario empujarme. Ella sabe cómo hacerme reír en medio de la guerra para aprender español.
A mi, Sara es un regala de Dios. Hoy yo da gracias por Sara y por su trabajo conmigo. Así, en su honor, el artículo de hoy está escrito en español.
And again in English....
Continuing with the theme of language and looking for things for which to give thanks, I am very grateful for Sara, my language tutor. We moved to Illescas with a little concern in regards to our language studies. Illescas is a little city. There are no universities here. We left Alcalá de Henares, a cit know for it's many education opportunitites, to live in Illescas, which is not much more than a pueblo.
We found a private academy that offered spanish for foreigners. Throughout the summer, I exchanged emails with Sara, but really had no idea what level of instruction that I would receive. Finally, in September I began classes.
During the first week I knew that Sara was perfect for me. I am a trained teacher. I I know how to teach and it is very frustrating to be taught by someone who has a great understanding of the material, but not in how to teach. (Sara is not the first person I have had who was a good a spanish teacher) I knew that if my spanish was to improve, I needed a professor who knew how to teacher and how to speak.
Sara is also a trained educator. She knows how to teach and has an understanding of the process of learning. Even more, she is a great speaker of spanish. Also, she has much patience with me repeated errors. She knows when I need care and when it is necesarry to push me. She knows how to make me smile in the middle of the war to learn spanish.
To me, Sara is a gift from God. Today I give thanks for Sara and for her work with me. So, her honor, today's post is written in Spanish.
NOTE: Please pray for Sara's mom. Last Tuesday she had a stroke. She is still in the hospital and is making a little progress.
