She’s been helping a Teen Challenge center develop a curriculum for the kids of the people who are in the program. If you just go to catmaybe.tumblr.com you can read about the entire experience from the beginning.
She learned Spanish just for this project, which impresses the snot out of me. (Yes, I can’t even sneeze right now.) I couldn’t learn Spanish that well with 4 years of HS classes.
Book Spanish is much different than Street Spanish. I could carry on a reasonable conversation in Spanish in my early teens, with a few hilarious mistakes, but only pulled a B+ in my Spanish class in high school.
Kids are pretty impressive. My son learned Spanish in about six months.
