This is a common phrase I hear, although less and less each day, thankfully! It means do you understand? Thankfully, I can say SI more! I am adjusting fairly well, and enjoy my family. My family consists of Mama, Magali who is a nurse, works during the day and then is home in the evening. Her dad, Papito is usually at the house as well, although I don't think he actually lives there. Xochitl (pronounced So-cheet) is the oldest daughter, 20 years old and goes to school during the day. Jefferson is her boyfriend as far as I can tell and is over for a few hours every evening. Rafael is my brother, 18 years old and works at the farm most of the week, so I haven't seen him much. Indira is my other sister, 17 years old. She is home most of the time, and gave me a pedicure yesterday! Her boyfriend, Oscar is also over fairly often.
This week we have had Spanish class for 4 hours every morning. My class isn't too hard for me, but it is good review and I am improving every day! It feels so good to be improving and learning. Since the class is only in the morning, that leaves the afternoons to spend time with our families and do homework. Almost every afternoon, our group from Dordt gets together to do homework or go to the cafe for internet. It's nice to have others to adjust at the same time and to speak English with :)
