Hola to all my friends and family back home!!!
When I last wrote I was having a rather difficult week of Spanish lessons (I know, that's expected) but this week and the last have been a whole different experience. Maybe it's because I'm much more relaxed in my home of Antigua or maybe it's that I am finally learning and speaking Spanish (I'm talking stories here, not sentences anymore). Like I said before, it has been an interesting journey so far. I came here a confident English speaker who, I think, felt comfortable in my own skin. But everything changes when you enter a new country, try to speak a new language, meet new friends, and also make sure people see the real you throughout the whole process. It's a very difficult task but I'm happy to feel a bit of relief finally.
