billrquimby Report post Posted May 16, 2009 Congratulations! I've known some fine border patrolmen, including Harlon Carter, who ended his career as head of the NRA, and George Parker, one of the three or four greatest Coues deer hunters of all time. You are entering an honored occupation that deserves greater recognition by the American public. I'm interested in knowing more about immersion and how it's taught. I took all the required Spanish classes in high school and at the UA a hundred years ago. I also have lived on the Mexican border for all of my seven-plus decades and travelled across Spain, Argentina, Paraguay and northern and central Mexico. Nonetheless, no one can accuse me of even near-fluency. My granddaughter spent just one semester on an ASU exchange program in Spain, and speaks it like a Spaniard. She does so well that she now leads tours into Peru each summer. I got along -- barely -- when she and I were in South America, but she was constantly apologizing for her grandfather's "Spanglish." Is there hope for an old codger like me? I've tried classes that are offered for seniors, but the beginner classes were for absolute beginners and the advanced classes were too advanced for me. I can read it better than I can speak it, but I am not really good at either. I've been told my pronunciation is OK, and that I have a large vocabulary of nouns. My problem is with verbs and their tenses, and with grammar. Any suggestions? Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
