Words

Words and language are weird.  If you really think about it.  It's mind-blowing to me how we learn to speak.  I did my thesis on second language acquisition when I got my Master degree to teach Spanish.  When I think about Sofia making the transition to the US, learning English will be one of the them.  I'm so thankful I am a language teacher and understand how second language acquisition works.  I'm also thankful that I know how to make it fun.  It's another thing to be thankful for in how the Lord has orchestrated her adoption.

The photo of the day prompt is "words." Here's my take:

  1. So, this is a different take on words...in the sense it's not about language acquisition...but I love a quote that one of the kid's teachers taught..."Words create and words destroy, so I will speak only to build, encourage, bless and give others joy."

    Isn't that beautiful? And sooo sooo true.
