Though she is only seven years old, my granddaughter is becoming proficient in Spanish. She is home-schooled so there are no Spanish kids or teachers she learns from. I asked her where she was learning Spanish.She told me about http://www.duolingo.com.It is a place where one can start learning as if they are a child and advance through other levels. I started at the Kindergarten level and quickly zoomed all the way up to 1st grade. Woo Hoo! Watch out world! I'm headed for the 2nd grade . Seriously, it is a fabulous way to get started in learning Spanish. I've begun because we now have many patients coming through the Emergency Room who don't understand English. My interest is learn basic Spanish so at least they can get a kind greeting and prayer in their own language from a Chaplain. Obviously, most who arrive at ER are traumatized. A calm word of encouragement or brief prayer in their language will mean a lot to them.Here is my learn-a-new-language theme song: One word at a time Dear Jesus, that's all I'm asking from you.Help me today, show me the Spanish I want to do.Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus, and the border is now open wide.Here they all come, some even run, till they get on our side. Adios Amigo,Doyl
