Mi espanol es muy malo. In fact, it's terrible. I've been lazily downloading a few spanish podcast and every so often I'll catch a movie on our HBO Latino channel but my spanish skills are on the downward slide. They're so bad I no longer admit to understanding the language.
In an attempt to salvage what may or may not be left I signed up for a Spanish language class through UVA's continuing education program. I was elated to learn that the teacher is a native Spanish speaker. Oddly enough, it seems like every time I try to take a Spanish class I always get a teacher with a more unusual accent. In college my main professor was Argentine and another two spoke with Castilian accents. The teacher for this continuing ed. class is also from Spain, specifically the Basque region. I'm very curious to hear what her Spanish sounds like.

Ooh that's a good idea! Good luck! I wish I could speak fluently too. Remember when we tried to speak only Spanish for a day? And remember when we were British for a day? =) I miss you.
Que divertito! yeah, my spanish teachers at byu were returned missionaries from spain, argentina, and the dominican republic-- but I still do best with Mexican accents because that was where most of the women at the shelter were from that I did translating for. i'm jealous that you're signed up for a class. buen idea!
