I don't know the particulars of your situation, but I'm sure your daughter will find that more opportunities open up as she proceeds through her degree. She doesn't HAVE to stick with the recommended Spanish places that everyone goes to. I was the first from my university to go to Chile, and I learned much more Spanish that those who came from other universities who tended to stick together and speak English all the time. I probably spoke less than 12 clock hrs of English in six months while I was there. Sorry to hijack your thread  |
Don't apologize. I enjoy the conversation. I think I made Daniel mad though.
I guess I'm confused. You learned Spanish in College? I thought you were Hispanic? I am so clueless sometimes it's silly.
Her language professor recommended she travel as much as possible. He also said that Costa Rica was the safest place she could go to learn. That really appealed to this father.
I just want God's will for her. I already cry just thinking about her leaving. She is a certified brainiac. In fifth grade her proficiencies were at a second year college level in every area but math.
She will enter her freshman year with 23 college credits already racked up through advanced placement.
