Me gusta acostarme con mis estudiantes – I Like to Couch My Students

You didn´t think I was going to leave that last post at that did you?  Really?  How long have you been reading my Blogs?  Oh, nooooo, now it´s ‘balance the books’ time.
So I am with Luis in front of a rather large gathering of prospective students that we have just served a couple of glasses [...]

¿Tienes tu pene? – Do You Have Your Penis?

No, No!  This is not an X rated Blog!  This is an honest Blog about the rough and rocky road that one must take in order to learn another´s language.
When I asked Luis this question he whirled around and looked at me with a combination of horror and true confusion.  I could see his mouth [...]

¿Lo dices en serio? – Are You Serious?

Scene

Joan:  body turned toward [...]

Uh-oh, There is Trouble in Paradise!

The Petri Dish

You know, I had to look up the spelling of “Petri”.  I don’t think I have even said that word since Advanced Biology class in High School where I decided I did NOT want to be a doctor!  Anyway, like a bolt of lightening, as I was writing yesterday’s blog entry, it occurred to me that Luis [...]

I love Lucy, ah I mean Joannie….

What a day it was yesterday!  As no doubt you have heard, (since there is a thin veil between our life and yours, but more on ‘How much is too much information’, later), that, Luis and I will be launching our new on-line video project soon, like we hope tomorrow but maybe not until Thursday [...]
