Classes begin on Monday but we still haven’t found enough people to cover our Beginner Spanish sections. Since there are no Spanish-speakers in the area, there isn’t much difference between finding a Beginner Spanish and Beginner Ukrainian teacher. (We aren’t looking for a teacher of Ukrainian but if we were, I can’t imagine the process being any less painful.)

When I traveled up North this month, I was overwhelmed by the presence of Hispanic people everywhere. I got to speak more Spanish in those few days in Montreal that I did in the entire year here. (Because I wasn’t on campus, of course.) And I’m just not as happy without Spanish-speakers around.
