Hello, I am currently in the middle of living in Mexico for three months to learn Spanish! I saw a post on tumblr about the new website and although it has been months since my last post on thefempire.org, I am happy that this place still exists in some form or another :)
Thank you! Did you change your name from anything? I'm afraid I don't recognize your username and can't find you on tumblr D: I would attribute it to my bad memory.
They're StudentRadical under a new name!
:D awesome!
"im here 2 learn spanish and post and im all out of spanish" - hoovy_woopeans
And I'm under a still another name on Tumblr, PM if you want to refresh your memory. (I'm trying to loosen my internet footprint.)
hoovy used up all the spanish, none left for anyone else. inconsiderate.
omg! it's so good to see you! i like that the post on tumblr has made its way to some of the olde regulars
Are you having a good time in Mexico? what's like, your daily routine?
):< no puedo creerte, hay español en vida sin límite.
Este es solo chisme sin basó
Well I have clases here every week day so I wake up and take the bus to my school, I have classes for culture, history and Spanish. After that I usually stay at the school to work on homework and return to my host family! My host family is great, we go to events in the city and movies and stuff but also it's just like a very normal house where there's not stuff going on every day.
I am doing both <3
Also I sleep in a hammock every night which is very normal for life in Yucatán.
omg, my parents went to mexico years and years ago and brought back some of the sleepy hammocks, they're so nice!
Is this like a university student exchange program or what? like what's the structure that's enabled this cool thing to happen? and how good are u at spanish now
Uni program, yeah. It's a very well established program at my university. My professor flies to Maine from Yucatán every fall to teach Spanish classes. She doesn't speak a word of English and is a firm believer in immersion practices, both for language learning and learning her culture. She's been doing the program with my school for about 20 years now!
Yo he bebido mucho agua porque hay calor cada día
¿Quieres practicar conmigo? No soy muy bueno en esto, pero me gustaba mejorar.
¿Sí, porque no? Estoy practicando cada día en mi lengua, pero es mucho más difícil para escribir. Entonces, me encanta la idea de practicando en el internet.
😊 ¿De verdad?? Yo siempre creí que fue más fácil para escribir, y más difícil para hablar. Todavía es difícil. No sé si mi gramática está correcta, y estoy usando Google Translate para algunas palabras.
Yo creo que es porque estoy viviendo en Merida, y estoy hablando mucho más que estoy escribiendo. No sé si este cambiará, porque yo tengo muchos ensayos que necesito terminar para escuela. Google Tradución funciona, pero yo tengo la abilidad para usar mi familia como dicionarios humanos :)
¡Qué suerte! :p No soy bueno para escribir ensayos en Inglés, mucho menos en Español.

I am staying in Merida, Yucatan for the majority of my time here, but I will also have about a month of living in the home town of my host family.
