Lost in Translation

Good question. This semester's class is shaping up to be excellent. I want to just briefly share what a week of class looks like.

We have two hours of conversation class per day. We spend one hour per week going through the Bible chronologically. This is very helpful, since almost all of the proper names are different in Spanish (e.g. Elijah is Elias, and Elisha is Eliseo).

Each week we read different newspaper articles, writing down all of the new words. Then in class we explain the article and the new words.

This week we're doing an hour-long Bible study. I chose a topic (justification) that will be very useful in my day-to-day ministry, since it's at the heart of the gospel.

We often have to watch a TV show and report on our findings (like the newspaper articles).

Our teacher also likes us to use the subjunctive mood (desires, influence, wishes, etc.) to share our opinions about these different topics.

All in all, the class is very enjoyable and helpful. Oh, I think I just heard the bell . . . gotta run.
