Do you want to learn to play the guitar?

Then don´t touch one!
For those of you FRIENDS fans, this explains my feelings today about my lessons in español.
For those of you who aren´t, I´ll explain.
My momentary frustration with learning another language:
for now it seems my teacher is focusing on ideas, concepts, and crazy details about things like indirect objects...things that don´t seem particularly applicable in the day to day life, when all i want to do is speak!
What feels more pressing and important at the moment, is trying to communicate simple phrases, feelings, intentions to our family and new friends here. But i guess maybe i have to start with the ¨basics.¨
Alas, we keep learning...and trusting our experienced teachers...and living it up here in Coch.
working on and dreaming about someday beautifully ¨playing the guitar,¨
