Spanish update

Basically, I have found I can´t speak spanish. 3 weeks and I still have an incredibly hard time understanding anything. And if someone tries to talk to me, I completely crumble into a ball of nerves that is unable to listen or respond. It has gotten better, and I understand much more than I used to, but for the most part it´s still all another language, not something I understand. I suppose I expected to be farther along by now, but I think it´s my fault because I´m so hesitant to speak spanish with people. I thought if I just listened for a while I would pick up on a lot, but maybe if I speak it it will be better. So I´ve made an effort the last few days to speak only in spanish with people. We´ll see how that goes. More updates later!
