Well, I just finished my second day of language classes. My brain is so full of verbs, I don't quite know what to do. It seems to me that English verbs are actually fairly straight forward, or you can at least figure it out that they go together. I know the rest of the language is really difficult, but not so much the verbs.
Spanish is different. The rest of the language is fairly predictable, but the verbs are crazy! For example, the verb "to be." First of all there are two verbs "to be," but if you look at only one, "ser" it goes like this - Yo soy, tu eres, el/ella/usted es, nosotros somos, ellos/ellas/ustedes son. That is the present tense of I am, you are, he/she/you are, we are, they/you (plural) are. For past tense, it is - Yo fui, tu fuiste, el/ella/usted fue, nosotros fuimos, ellos/ellas/ustedes fueron. It doesn't look anything like the present form!
I am praying that the Lord will simply open up the unused parts of my brain so that I can learn Spanish faster and that it will make sense to me. I know He is able to help us in miraculous ways, and learning Spanish would make us so much more effective in our ministry in Tactic.
Please pray for us as we do these classes. We sure need it!
Blessings,
Karren
