Time for an introduction

[Guest guest]

Patricia

Welcome to this wonderful group, I am sure you will learn a great deal and

hope you will share even more.

I would like to congratulate you on your initiative to learn the Spanish

language, I live in Florida or I would volunteer to help. You may consider

looking for a migrant workers association or group. They usually host free

classes for those wanting to learn English and it may be a good way for you

to be exposed to the Spanish language and at the same time our wonderful

culture.

If there is any other way I could help, please let me know

In love and light

Norma

Thank you Norma for the warm welcome. What part of Florida do you live in?

 

We do not have many migrant workers here. I checked out Berlitz and am

awaiting the lesser expensive group classes and a time when I am not

speaking and can give one evening a week for 8 weeks. I am also going to

take Salsa and Mambo lessons from Arthur Murray from a bilingual instructor.

I believe in multi-tasking. In the nicer weather I cycle at least 15

miles a day - the winter I am a slug so in order to keep in balance (I am a

work-a-holic and love it due to my passion for my work and being

self-employed) I decided that to pay for a dance package (not cheap) would

propel me out of the office doing something very enjoyable and active as

well.

 

There is much brainless work that needs to be done each day such as

bookeeping and audio tape duplication and I use foreign service institute

cd's as I do those things. Conversation is the key though.

 

I am sure I will enjoy this group and look forward to joining in.

Patricia:

 

Welcome to you! Yes, I am a " Griffin Grad " <LOL> Both my husband and I

have been

taking classes from her and her school, have been very pleased with

them. Man

recently took the NLP with George Bien she offered.

 

I'm afraid we are both a bit disinfranchised as far as mother tongues

are

concerned; though I am half-Spanish and Man is half-Portuguese we are

both very

Americanized second generation kids who didn't catch the bilingual

gene. It is

something I have wanted to do, as well, as I envy my father's

semi-annual treks

to Mexico to a small town he and another minister have " adopted " ; they

bring

food, clothing and revival services to the mission there. Dad preaches

in

Spanish and does a lot of interpreting for the rest of the group. Alas,

he is

living in Louisiana, so I can't share him with you ;-)

 

However, there are quite a few Portuguese-speaking people in our area;

our

nextdoor neighbors are from Brazil and have very limited English. Where

exactly

is Sharon? I imagine that areas like Fall River, and even Lowell, would

have a

strong Hispanic contingent. If you luck up enough to get your language

skills

down, come visit me and teach me some!

Caroline -

 

I just got in from speaking engagement presenting my workshop Be Ever-Slim.

 

I tell the story of George though I do not use his real name. The story is

included on my audio book. Did he tell you about his snickers bars and

little debbies addiction and getting very ill? Western doctors wanted to do

exploritory surgery and that's when he reached " threshold " . He made some

hypnosis tapes for himself to recondition his mind. (sorry people - this is

a true story but perhaps a bit offensive and I apologize but when I tell the

story it is always a good chuckle from the audience and demonstrates that

even us " professionals " need to use tools sometimes) Since little debbies

was his biggest foible he suggested to himself on tape that " little debbie

is a slut " . Okay it is off color but Caroline - you have seen George

recently. Have you seen his videos from many years ago? Plus that

programming hits hard with him from his strict Polish background. Sometimes

you have to create more pain than pleasure - your repitilian brain will

always try to get you to avoid pain more than pursue pleasure - but that

too.

 

As for Spanish - does your dad have email and if so would he chat with me

over the net? I would like to hear of his work in Mexico as I have contact

with some Mexico City acupuncturists that are doing what I envision in the

rural areas. They only speak Spanish and it is a chore (a worthy one)

emailing back and forth.

 

40% of Providence area kids are hispanic (I am half way between providence

and Boston) so I have been looking for programs to volunteer there - kids

need a hand these days - especially the girls to tap into their own

self-power and feeling of confidence and worth. boys too. I have been

searching but due to my insane schedule at the moment a leisurely visit with

an abuela (grandmother) or two between clients seems more practical. Summer

I have more time for pre-teens.

 

I am on 171 South Main Street (loud street - I use two marvelous tools in

practice - one is, since I am taping each session, I have clients use a

soft set of very good head phones and run them through a mixer so I can

insert music as well - and a set of programmable flashing light glasses that

puts people down into alpha in no time flat)

 

Must go we have a thunder storm here. As for me teachihg you Spanish -

Jaaaaa.
