After an hour and a half of driving school, it's clear that with almost 7 straight years of Spanish I have yet to learn the specifics of driving vocabulary. While half of the questions on the practice tests are amazingly easy, another 25% present problems due to 1 or 2 words which I am less familiar with. The remaining 25% of the questions may be difficult because of specifics of certain laws or types of transport (motorcycle with sidecar!) which I will never use. The lesson learned in this case is I have to work on maybe 20-25 words and of course study the book.
The people at the school are welcoming and helpful, but the students perhaps a little too anxious to please. I am studying to get my license, while others want nothing more than to please the teacher. I don't think those ten extra questions will get you a gold star, but I could be wrong. Maybe I'm less curious about the exact measurements of my cargo..I just want to memorize and get this over with.
Today I republish the blog on the site but there will be several errors if you go back through the posts. In copying and pasting the old entries into the new format there are a lot of strange characters. I know my mistake, but it took several hours to do this. So slowly but surely I'll be going back to clean this up. For now, my apologies if an older post is difficult to read.
