There are many wonderful surprises in the Spanish language for an English speaker. A beautiful nugget which continues to sparkle in my mind is the Spanish phrase for sunbathing: Tomar el sol. To drink the sun. Beautiful.
Learning Spanish takes everything I've got. Because I want to do it right... I want to get between and underneath the words. It feels like moving to another country with a beautiful but difficult landscape. Many surprises in the topography. And I must find a way to make a home here.
I have dreams in which I sing the new words which were given as homework for the day.
As with anything, it helps to have a good teacher.
