School started here this week and so that meant the first few days of French class for my daughter. She was so afraid of it and then she came home yesterday all excited and said a sentence in French to me and then went on to tell me that the teacher gave them a paper with a list of words in French and asked them if they could figure out what they were or something like that and she said that all the newbie students got this panicked looked on their faces and she looked at the list and just smiled... the words were almost exactly the same as they are in Spanish!

So thank you again to all of you out there who said encouraging things to me here an in PMs. It looks like my daughter is on her way to her third language.
