Yesterday during our city walk which is held on Wednesdays for a short period, I had an interesting discussion with a woman who is taking private lessons on an intermediate level. Much to my delight she revealed that a number of students had expressed discontentment to the director of the school because the lessons are given far too rapidly. Apparently he was not sympathetic and refused to allow his teachers to slow down. Most of these students decided to drop group lessons and take private lessons instead and are very happy with their decisions. I was glad to hear that I was not the only one who feels overwhelmed.

When I spoke to the director this morning, he was very sympathetic and agreed to let me switch and reconfigure my tuition, which shouldn't be too much because I'm reducing four hours of group time at a very rapid pace to two hours of private lessons. Now I can actually review some vocabulary as well as sleep at night!! Perhaps I'll finally be able to form a sentence or two.

This venture has not been the adventure that I thought it would be. Two more weeks! I'll be able to re-evaluate the whole experience with more insight and after some reflection when I return home. Now off to mi casa to take a siesta, much needed since I woke up at four-thirty today to try to finish my homework!!
