At Sachi’s school, I witnessed a pair of parents enroll their daughter on the same day. I guessed they were French, but it turns out that they are Spanish. They had arrived in the country on the same day as us, the second of November.

I felt like using some Spanish phrases with them—then realized that I didn’t know a word! How could that be? I’ve been doing Spanish for over a month.

However, my method focuses on input. A silent period is definitely required before words begin to bubble spontaneously. So in the meantime I’ll try to eavesdrop!
