Hola. I'm April. My son is Nicholas, or Nikko/ Nico for short when we want to be funny;).
He is serving a Spanish-speaking mission for our church right now, and I want to be able to say some things to him in the language he is using.
I took French in high school many, many moons ago, and remember less than a little. I'm from the Southwest US so I've heard Spanish used but only know a few of the common phrases from my kids when they took it in school in the past 2-5 years.
My son just spent 6 weeks in Mexico City in an immersion language program and he told us that the textbook-type Spanish they taught him in high school for 3 years was much different than what he experienced in real life in Mexico. Sounded like although the vocabulary was familiar, the grammar and (I guess) the dialect was different. I would imagine like English in the US vs. the U.K.
I'm looking forward to learning something new.
