I'm taking a class called "Second Language Acquisition Methodology."
I love it!!!
Guess what? I have two languages to learn in my future. Two.
From a girl who only speaks one....it sounds // it seems daunting.
One of the best parts about taking this class is that my language helper will be a girl from the church in Kabwe so I get to learn Bemba! Basically, the language helper is one who speaks another language [but not a European dialect] and we practice the techniques we've learned in class on the language helper.
How amazing // awesome // wonderful is it that I get to learn from Brenda who speaks Bemba? Priceless.
This course equips me with the tools // teaches me how to learn a second language. It is positiviely fascinating. I cannot wait to start learning Afrikaans!
I thought my school + book-learning days were finished. I was so incredibly wrong and couldn't be enjoying it more.
Now, ask me if I"m still loving Afrikaans after I hit that proverbial "wall" in a few months. :)

I loved that class! It is so fun learning the different sounds! I still use what I learned to day in teaching and speaking Spanish.
You're going to do great, Rebecca!!!
Ah, the thought of learning a new language seems daunting! But how cool to know two new languages! Praying you will learn quickly! Also, wanted to let you know that I mentioned your blog in my latest post as one of my favorites[http://oliviacoy.blogspot.com/2013/01/friday-favorites.html]
