Acquiring a new language

Monday, January 12, 2009

Dear Leticia--

I was hoping you were from somewhere in Jalisco because I get to vacation there from time to time and I do have some interesting genealogy and Hispanic history books to show to whomever is interested.

I was born in Victoria, British Columbia, which is located on an island on the western side of Canada. I left for the USA when I was 2 and a half. Thanks for complimenting my Spanish but I feel I still have so much more to learn.

My grandfather could speak 6 languages because he came from Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, when I took French it was not taught so I did not catch on. The books were late in arriving at my new school and all we had was the French speaking teacher and the language lab with microphones and recorded lessons. Oh well, maybe in the next life I will be given another chance.

Sincerely,
Patricia Burton
