Ok, this was WAY too cute not to document - and it totally made my day. I received a letter today from one of my students. It was (mostly) in English, so she clearly spent a lot of time (with a dictionary) working on it. Here's what it said:
"To my teacher Lesdey (my name is impossible for Spanish people to say, especially kids),
Lesdey, are hard working with us and try to endure heavy children.
I really like you as a teacher, and as an assistant [to] MariCarmen. You are very friendly, peaceful, and beautiful. Ojala pudira go with you on vacation to your country. Lesdey, guess what? To say our midst who came to be his assistant made me nervous, but eager to meet you. But when I saw you, I was very happy because I had never met a real English. You know that was my dream? Knowing an Englishwoman. To end this letter, I'll tell you what is your favorite color: I think it is because your blue eyes sparkle throughout the night.
Bye bye, a bear hug hug from the part of Mary Ahumada!!!"
that letter is so stinkin' cute! what age kids do you teach? (sorry if i missed that from somewhere else...)
ReplyDeletei know! i wanted to laugh and cry when i got the letter...totally adorable! i'm helping to teach english to the whole school. so the ages range from 4 yr olds (absolutely stinkin' cute) to 12 yr olds. the letter was from a 9 yr old. she's a cutie!
ReplyDeleteLesl, you're making dreams come true. I love it! That is too cute!
ReplyDeleteWow so you are making quite an impression. Bueno. (that's all two years of spanish Highschool for ya). But I must say I would love to be able to receive a letter like that. The hard part is living up to it. I don't think that will be such a problem for you however. Extreemly adorable children.
ReplyDeletei'm pretty sure that you should bring her back with you, because she sounds too cute to pass up!!
ReplyDeletep.s. i'm finding it very difficult to read your blog because i am becoming increasingly jealous of your experiences!!
