Granada, Nicaragua

I took the picture of the sign at the entrance of Granada as I was arriving. The school Casa Xalteva is a non-profit organization, founded by two professors from New Mexico. Not only are there students from various countries attending language school to learn Spanish, but there are local students who come in the morning to learn Spanish, Science, and Math. This is a program of the non-profit foundation to keep kids off the streets. In the afternoon the kids go to a public school for more classes. So far the classes have been pleasant, although yesterday we began drilling verbs (stem changers) in the present and past tense. Today my homework was to write sentences for stem changers (ir) in the past, third person, singular and plural. Grrr...a mí, no me gusta la gramática! Yo hablo por oído, cómo los músicos tocan instrumentos por oído. I said, I don't like the grammar because I do Spanish by-ear, like some musicians play by ear(: Hasta pronto! That's like, "later"...Miss you all.
