-ar Verbs

This week we learned how to conjugate -ar verbs. Son mucho más fácil que los verbos irregular. I also have been working on memorizing all the -ar verb meanings like trabajar, explicar, buscar, etc. There are a bunch listed in the book.

I found it interesting what everyone said when asked "Que eres tu?"  Un hombre dice es alto y dos mujeres es tias. Kenna es de Abernathy. Monica es hermana. It was funny to hear all the different adjectives I guess they were, that people used about themselves. I said, "Soy Caitlin, un estudiante, una mujer, uno Americano, y soy de Amarillo."

My first post

This is my first blog post. I have never blogged before. I have never even followed or read a blog before and don't know anything really about doing it at all. I believe it is just a place for you to write your thoughts down and have other people follow/read them. This will mostly be for my Spanish class but I guess I'll occasionally blog for the fun of it maybe. We'll just have to see...
