Ding! Leveled Up On Our Spanish Learning Journey

I guess in life, if things are not hard earned, they are not as rewarding.  Spiritually speaking.  That applies to your recent promotion, you love life, those pineapple tarts that you have spent hours and hours of cooking to find that perfect balance, those regular practice sessions for climbing that one mountain, and etc.  Not to over-dramatize, like I often do, the Spanish examination at Las Lilas is not that tough.  Objectively speaking.  But as always, I hardly see Cynthia doing revision and she gets a score of 96 for the level lower intermediate 2.  I have studied days and nights, in any location you can imagine (except my bathroom !por favor!), even spent much time revising Spanish in our recent trip to Bandung, I am still behind Cynthia’s supreme linguistic ability.  The good news is that the gap is closing!  I have hit a score of 90, the highest I have attained to date.  To be fair, I think our teacher Natalia has been generously lenient when marking my examination paper.  And she is very encouraging too, recognizing the effort I have poured into this new language.

Some ask how many levels are there in my Spanish language course.  I have no clue.  Unlike Cynthia and some of my classmates who are eying at the end level, I am more focus on how far I can go.  And we shall see.

In this new level – intermediate 1 – one lady has left us, three ladies have joined.  Male species remain as the minority in our class.  More so than before.  I am not surprised.
