RUSTY! Thank you SO much!! This is very helpful. It's difficult for me to write much without needing to look some word up in a dictionary. I don't have the vocabulary (it's coming ... but slowly!). And I can only conjugate verbs in the present tense right now. I have difficulty with sentence structure (as you can see). BUT, having said all of that, it is encouraging that I understand *most* of your changes.

I don't have time right now to enumerate all of my questions, but I'll start with one and will come back later with more. Please tell me about the difference between "maestra" and "profesora". Is "maestra" not used commonly for "teacher"? Is it possibly a Latin American vs. Spain thing? (I am mostly interested in Latin American Spanish.)

Thank you!! More to follow!
