Mi Fruta Favorito
Es fruta no es vegtalas. Es roja or verde or amarillo. Mi mama y papa la gusta la fruta. Mi gusta la fruta. Es grande. Es no pequena. Es dulce no es agrio.
Mi fruta es ?? .
Grace is taking Spanish lessons at school. The other day she came home with a paper filled with her first grade scrawl just as she would any other day.
I had to take a second look at the paper though when I realized I couldn't read it.
Well, with a little thought I knew what it said, but I couldn't officially 'read' it seeing as how I dodged the foreign language requirement all the way through my school years.
I'm proud of her accomplishments,
but
imagine what benefits America could reap if we put as much effort into teaching the minority to speak English as we currently spend teaching the majority to speak another language?
Okay. I'm not going to make this any more political. I'll leave it at that.
Happy Thursday!
