Somebody recently commented that students are getting smarter. Was that David Bellamy? I just discovered that this is true. I asked the students why Spanish was considered a Romance language and the majority knew that it was derived from Latin and Latin was the language of the Roman Empire.
When I last asked this question back in 2005, or something like that, the most popular response was, “Because it is such a romantic language!” and “Because Latino people are good at romance. When I traveled to Mexico last year, Mexicans flirted with all of the girls.”
So yes, it gets better.
