I’ve enjoyed my return to Spanish class here in Guanajuato immensely. It’s been a little strange because basically one ends up taking classes mainly with other Americans with a few other nationalities thrown in for good measure. I haven’t been around my fellow Americans in so long that it’s taken a bit of getting used to. In the last five years, I have actually forgotten social cues and topics of conversation within polite company. But, it’s been fun, informative, and actually a confidence booster.

“You mean, you live here and have for five years and you are coming back to Spanish class?”
Why?
I am sure to hear this once I get ensconced in class and introduce myself. I was dreading this. The fellow classmates find I have been living in the city and immediately will wonder why in God’s name am I sitting in a classroom taking Spanish instruction. I was dreading this sort of encounter until I realized just why this is going to be a question asked of me repeatedly.
The answer, I think, is that it is assumed if you actually live in a Mexican town full-time […]
