It's not the name of a Franco-Prussian hunting lodge, but does appear on entrances to many of the nicer properties in Punta Banda. They are made of
wrought iron by a local craftsman who's trying to say what?

But then he'd have to fabricate the sign in landscape format. Maybe I should try to sell him a few hyphens.tripledigitken - 7-6-2007 at 03:05 PM

Ahh. Does your tone of voice and body
language change with the language you're speaking? Some linguists believe that there are 2 distinctly different ways of coping with multilingualism.
Check out coordinate and compound bilingualism in Google. My observation is that going the coordinate road probably is more effective for adult
learners who really want to acquire the second language; it's less likely to suffer from contamination from the primary language.
How old were you when you started with Spanish?
--Larry
yes I think my body language and tone of voice does change when I'm in spanish mode vs when in english mode. I don't follow the coordinate vs
compound thing but I may have cheated a bit in learning the language. My daughter (first born) was born in Loreto when I was 35 and as she started
learning to speak I learned with her. So I guess I started really learning the language at 37 years old. Now at 42 I can go back and fourth between
the two languages easily. I often need to speak to captains then and clients at the same time switching languages. I can think and dream in spanish
and catch myself thinking of some things in spanish instead of english which I find weird. I know I get the verb tenses and the masculine and
feminine messed up but I can still communicate well. I am so happy to know Spanish now makes things much easier and more fun too.flyfishinPam - 7-6-2007 at 05:37 PM
I read about the coordinate vs compound on wikipedia but what I found more interesting is the mention of children growing up with two languages. Our
house is completely bilingual but we now have an 18 year old living with us whose english is not so good but we're teaching him. when we have a
person around who only speaks one language that's the language we speak. My kids 4 and 7 grew up with both languages but I believe their Spanish is
the dominant language. you're right on the dreaming and thinking in spanish, it does involve thoughts and concepts that are part of my spanish
language life. I am also finding that I now have an ear for other latin based languages like Italian as I have some Italian videos with english
subtitles and sometimes I'll switch the DVD's to french just to listen and it makes a little sense to me too. funny I never considered myself as one
that had an ability to pick up languages well.
still waiting for delivery on the macs, DHL said their truck broke down and will be late after 8pm this evening, can't wait!!Natalie Ann - 7-6-2007 at 07:23 PM

Yep Ken, it's the frisky friday tequila hour, when we begin to focus on all things Baja. Are you down at your place now? Sure would love to see some
photos.... por favor?!
Outstanding weekend to y'all, too.

Einstein thought in images, not in a language, according to his newest biography. So you're in good company.
