RE: Boys And Girls Club Summer Camp in Caizan, Panama - Fun Friday by A Panama Mama
That looks like they're having a lot of fun and probably a good way to organically learn Spanish and make friends :)
It's an incredible experience you're offering to them!
I hope they're able to quickly pick up some Spanish. I was asking them a few words on the way on the fourth day and they were words I haven't taught them and they knew them. I was impressed! I know they will quickly pick it up...especially if they're having fun. The drive though...it's like torture and death at every turn.
That's so cool that they're learning so quickly and not surprising... little sponges :). If only my mama brain worked so well!
I saw the pics you posted the other day on the journey, you'll have to post more to really emphasis the magnitude of this feat :) Such a good mama for taking them!
The road over there is crazy. Curves all over the place. I just really want them to get some good Spanish in. It is right that they are little sponges. I sure hope that is the case. I don't know how their dad is going to learn, on the other hand... ;)
He'll need to if he wants to know what they're talking about as they get older and wiser lol... Wise to the fact that he can't understand them :)
Lol - that is so true!! I have a friend here whose daughter was born in Canada (now 6), so she speaks English and her grandparents are Panamanian, but she's figured out they don't speak English so when she wants to tell her brother something in front of them, she talks to him in English so they can't understand. Ha! So sneaky. The mom is always having to tell her to speak Spanish so they can know what she is saying. My kids will be that same way someday...I hope!
