I love language.  It’s one very important half of what I do every day (pictures being the other half).

Last year, Lauren began taking Spanish in school.  I was ecstatic. I took several years of Spanish in high school and have always been enamored with the language.  Even after high school, I kept my knowledge of it up… speaking and writing it whenever I had an opportunity.  I am by no means fluent or completely bi-lingual, but I know enough not to get into trouble.  I know the difference between el coche and la calle.

So, once Lauren started español, I had a partner en idioma.  We would (and continue to) quiz each other all the time.  I’m not ashamed to admit she’s stumped me quite a few times… which I love. I love to learn… especially when my daughter is doing the teaching.

The frustration Lauren will have over the course of this week’s strips is not totally true to life.  She’s good. She enjoys the language just as much as I do.  She can totally hold her own.
