To earn some extra money I started giving Spanish private lessons. I said to earn some extra money but I don't charge enough to cover my daily coffee consumption, I confess it: I'm doing it for pleasure. Especially now that I'm officially a budding linguist...
Yesterday I was sitting in a cafe with one of my students, a very nice guy with whom I feel we have a lot in common in the way we look at life. We were talking exclusively in Spanish; he can speak it very well and to an ousider we probably look just like two friends having coffee together. As we were approaching the end of our lesson he asked me if we could revise some grammar next time - he felt he was making too many mistakes. I disagreed completely and started convincing him that what he needs is practice and as a proof that I'm right I started waving with a Very Thick Linguistics Book that I happened to have with me. He looked at the book to make sure it was thick enough and admitted that I was right.
Of course I was!
