As you might have noticed, it has been a quiet couple of days here at J|K. We have now entered the past tense forms in the spanish language and they are to say the least a bit complicated.
The first week went on with present tence forms and “Presence Perfect” (Preterito Perfecto) forms and the bit of past tense forms that in spanish relate to general descriptions in the past tense (Preterito Imperfecto). Up until now the extent of irregular verbes have been manageable, with most of them being somewhat intuitive.
This has now changed… Let me give you an example:
[TABLE=2]
We are presently learning the column named “Preterito Indifinido”. It may be a bit hard to see from this single verb, but the systematics are (for me) not easy to see through. This has neccesitated some long hours of repetition. It’s fun in its own way, but i also makes you a bit odd.
Our camera has run out of batteries (and smart-as-I-am Kasper) has forgotten the recharger. I will try to find one down here so that we will be able to once again present you with pictures from down here.
It’s not all verbes and gramatics, though. Today we signed up for an excursion this sunday to 3 small villages not far from Granada. Among other things this trip offers tastings of local wine, ham and cheese and a quick trip to the beach. More will follow on this trip (hopefully followed by a range of pictures as well…).
Hasta Luego! (See you soon!)
