Those are wonderful, and to be honest with you, I’d consider hiring you even if you did use some of those — they’re GREAT!

My TT is up! Happy Thursday!

Hehehe. That’s very funny. I was a Spanish major in college, so can relate to some of these! (I was also a guidance counselor, so can relate to the rest as well!!)

LOL I LOVE IT!!!

Mine up! Happy TT!

I know a bit of Spanish and am thinking of learning a language this year for the fun of it. I’m not sure which though - I’m leaning towards Farsi and Porteguese. =O)

Spanish was my worst subject. Took it enough you would think I would be fluent in it. But it just did not take. At 39 I felt just too old to learn a new language. These are some snappy comebacks! Great List! Thanks for stopping by and visiting today. Happy Thursday!

You know… with VERY little modification, these could be used to describe parenting as well.

And life in my office.

And things I say to my husband….

Hmmm.

“Conjugating verbs makes you irresistible to the opposite sex.”

So THAT’S what I’ve been doing wrong all of these years!!

Nice! I got confused at first because I usually look to the top of the pos but below the header for the topic where you’ve got “your name” and I thought hmm, my name isn’t spanish!
I figured it out! I like the verbs one, and the 3 ringed binder =)

I can’t just forget Spanish as one of our major subjects. During my school days, Spanish was part of the school’s curriculum. It was taught from Kindergarten thru 4th year highschool.
Thanks for stopping by.

It’s a good thing I put down the Diet Coke before I read your list because my monitor would have been covered. What’s better yet is I had no idea you tutored Spanish, and had I known, I would have definitely put you in touch with my human pet long, long ago as she is considered “the mute Spaniard” by her Latina friends.

She can read and listen, but there’s no speaking happening. She’s very nervous and afraid of her embarassment. Will you tell her to get over it already please?

Terrific list, and I am adding you to my link list! Too cool for school you are, Jenny!

I have to admit, I’ve suspected these all along…I am particularly certain that there is a requirement that Spanish teachers/tutors are required to give their souls to Evil before they can begin actual work with students.

I can’t prove it mind you…yet…

49.

Courtney
September 1st, 2006 at 10:08 am

If it was French rather than Spanish I would swear you are my daughter’s tutor. We made the rule that the TV had to be turned off during dinner. It took two dinners to apply the corrollary to that rule….no cell phones at the dinner table either. Sheesh.
