The most important reason for me to be staying in Orosi right now, is to study Spanish, and get myself comfortable with the language. It is not easy, despite the study I had many years ago, because we did a lot of writing and reading, but not much speaking, listening or conversation. My teacher, Margoth, is really great at being able to assess my skills and has been a HUGE help in getting me more confident and able to understand some of what I am hearing. She lives here in Orosi, loves her teaching, and also loves to dance merengue and cumbria, a local folk type dance also done in the bars. She taught a class last week that I attended, and got an introduction, which was very fun. When in Cartago, I bought a CD of music for cumbria. Even when the lyriucs are sad,t he music is upbeat.
