We’ve talked to most of our family and friends over the past week and have a favor to ask all of you who are planning to visit after Kaylee gets here.
Please buy and listen to these CDs before you come:
Michel Thomas Speak Spanish Get Started Kit: 2-CD Starter Program
It’s just two CDs, a couple of hours of Spanish lessons, but it will be immensely helpful if you don’t know Spanish. It will enable you to ask basic questions and have enough comprehension of the language to go to the market on your own, or order some coffee and a snack at the café.
Having the ability to do these things on your own while you’re visiting will be very helpful to not only you, but to us. We love you guys, but we don’t want to have to chaperon you the entire time you are here.
And it will help you with filling out the paperwork on the airplane when you are getting ready to arrive in Uruguay… that we can’t help you with.
So please, if you don’t know Spanish (and very few of you do), please get these CDs and listen to them so you can have the very basics down before your visit.
One other part of the Spanish language you’ll want to have an understanding of is numbers. This won’t be taught in the 2 CDs, so we made this web page for you guys. It’s all numbers.
Listen to the CDs to get an understanding of how the language is pronounced, and then come back to Spanish Numbers Page over and over again until you get these numbers down…
We also made this web page with the days of the week in Spanish, which will also be helpful for you to learn.
A big thanks to everyone in advance to for doing this for us!
