When we were overseas we used the LAMP method (Here is a link to the book that explains it).<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Language-Acquisition-Made-Practical-Learners/dp/0916636003<BR/><BR/>Those who used this method were far more fluent (and much less stressed) than those who tried to learn with formal language classes...I'd love to "talk"/email more about it sometime, if you feel it could be helpful to you. I especially recommend it for someone like you, with young children. <BR/><BR/>It is hard for a busy momma to find the time to study. This method is based on learning small amounts of dialogue and then practicing them again and again with different people in the real world. It is based on the way a child learns/acquires language...no formal study of grammar, but learning patterns that can be applied in many different contexts.<BR/><BR/>One of my many jobs on the mission field was Language Coordinator. It was my responsibility to oversee the language study for all new missionaries. Can you tell I have a heart for it???<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>MollyMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08185078418377325084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-88365767307388387632008-04-13T07:30:00.000+01:002008-04-13T07:30:00.000+01:00Nina,Part of our hearts are missing in the photo t...Nina,<BR/><BR/>Part of our hearts are missing in the photo too......because they were there with you in Portugal. Our hearts and prayers are always with you, and especially were on that day. You're so much a part of us; even zillions of miles can't take that away. <BR/><BR/>I love you. <BR/><BR/>ASAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-43301136170270755982008-04-12T18:51:00.000+01:002008-04-12T18:51:00.000+01:00Hey girl, we do miss you so much!

I noticed that you guys and Raygan were the only ones missing. Well, I miss you TOO!! Glad to read that you are catching on with the language. That sounds like a tall task.
