After two other teachers who were helpful and nice but not a great fit, I have beginning studying under the wing of Profesorka Renata.  She’s amazing, super nice but relentless, and has a PhD in teaching Slovak to speakers of other languages (that helps!) 😉

Monday through Friday I head out of the house after the girls are down from 12:30 and study until 4:30.  Three of those days I’m with a teacher.

My brain hurts a lot.  I wake up in the morning with a string of words that I want to look up.  I wish I could speed up the progress, but I do love the process.
